Romeo and Cruz Beckham have posted a video that appears to take a swipe at their estranged brother Brooklyn.

Cruz posted the clip to his TikTok account earlier today, which featured the brothers and their girlfriends Jackie Apostel and Kim Turnbull sitting in a car miming to an audio clip of a wah-wah sound effect, according to the Sun.

The eight-second video, which has since been deleted, was captioned: “Imagine hating and we’re just here like.”

Followers congregated in the comments section to share their feelings.

“If my brother or sister cut me off because of their current partner, I would react the same way. They didn’t pick sides first, Brooklyn did,” one wrote.

“As a parent if I had a row with one of my kids I wouldn’t expect or allow their siblings to take sides,” another said.

A third expressed her dedicated support for the Beckham family, saying: “I think they thought they could slander the good Beckham name,” adding, “it’s hilarious that if anything you’ve all gained popularity and made people realise how much we truly adore you all. Always have, always will!”

“Exactly why I am Team Brooklyn. This shouldn’t be allowed and the parents should tell them so,“ a fourth said.

Brooklyn Beckham severed ties with his family last week in a series of Instagram stories that blasted his parents, David and Victoria, claiming they “hijacked” his wedding and sabotaged his relationship with wife Nicole Peltz.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he said.

Brooklyn also alleged his mother danced “very inappropriately” on him during a song that had been reserved for the newlyweds’ first waltz.

“I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life,” he said.

He accused his parents of prioritising the family brand “above all else” and claimed they tried to bribe him into signing away the rights to his name.

While Victoria has not publicly addressed Brooklyn’s posts, David Beckham said: “Children are allowed to make mistakes, that’s how they learn ... you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”

Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, had also not addressed Brooklyn’s allegations before today’s video.

The brothers were seen out on a double date with their partners in Paris last week, People reported.

Cruz announced his first tour with his band The Breakers on social media last week.

“It’ll be my dream to play you the music I’ve been working on,” he wrote to fans.

Victoria shared the band’s promotional poster on her Instagram story, writing: “We r all so proud of u Cruz.“

Also last week, Romeo walked the runway in the Willy Chavarria Menswear Paris Fashion Week show, according to Us Weekly.

“Yet again!! Another amazing show x @romeobeckham @willychavarria!!” commented sister Harper Beckham on social media.
