Growing up, Nicola Peltz had one clear role model: her dad, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz.
She watched him from a young age, absorbing his relentless, no-nonsense approach to business.
Those who know Nelson describe him as tough, driven, and willing to take on anyone to get what he wants.
It’s easy to see how this shaped Nicola’s own attitude — especially now, as she battles a storm of negative headlines.
Nicola’s Public Fallout and New Legal Team
After a very public rift with her in-laws, David and Victoria Beckham, Nicola’s reputation took a hit.
The drama kicked off when she and her husband Brooklyn Beckham snubbed David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Now, Nicola is fighting back — and she’s doing it the hard way.
She’s just hired Matthew Hiltzik, a crisis PR guru known for his aggressive tactics, including defending some of Hollywood’s most controversial figures.
Who is Matthew Hiltzik?
Hiltzik has a reputation for bulldozing the media and protecting his clients with fierce loyalty.
He’s represented names like Harvey Weinstein and Johnny Depp, navigating huge scandals with a take-no-prisoners style.
Nicola’s family source says this hire is no accident: “Her dad is a rottweiler in business, and now Nicola is channeling that same energy.”
Essentially, she’s ready to fight hard to control the narrative and salvage her image.
Why the Battle for Reputation Matters
People close to Nicola say she’s desperate to shake off accusations that she controls Brooklyn, with some in the Beckham camp even calling Brooklyn a “hostage.”
This media battle isn’t just about gossip — Nicola is laser-focused on growing her acting career.
Starting at just 12 years old, she’s been in films and music videos, but recently her work hasn’t received the best reviews.
Still, insiders say she believes there’s a new project coming, even if it’s not a blockbuster.
Legal Troubles Add Fuel to the Fire
Adding to her troubles, Nicola is currently embroiled in a court case against a dog groomer who treated her beloved chihuahua Nala before the dog tragically died.
A New York judge has ordered Nicola to appear for a deposition by October 30.
She insists her pet was healthy before the appointment, but died soon after.
This case has only increased media attention, and sources say Nicola is determined to leave no stone unturned.
Hollywood Drama and Family Feuds
It’s ironic that the same steely resolve she learned from her dad has caused headaches in Hollywood.
Nelson Peltz’s failed proxy battle with Disney, which ended with him selling off his shares, left a bitter taste in the industry.
Some say Nicola feared it might hurt her career prospects.
Meanwhile, the rift between Brooklyn and his parents shows no sign of healing.
Recently, Brooklyn posted a heartfelt message on Instagram affirming his loyalty to Nicola, calling her “my whole world” and “the most amazing person I know.”
The couple has been tight-lipped about their London visit and continues to keep distance from Beckham family events.
Looking Ahead: Love, Family, and Tensions
Nicola and Brooklyn are openly talking about their future, including plans for starting a family — a topic that could deepen the divide with David and Victoria, who have expressed a strong desire to be grandparents.
The drama has even affected Brooklyn’s friendships, with some of his pals distancing themselves amid the family tensions.
One source explained the complicated birthday snub: it was rumored Nicola avoided events because of Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who had dated Brooklyn.
This turned out to be false, and recently Romeo and Kim split, but the damage to relationships remains.
Can the New PR Team Turn Things Around?
With heavyweight legal and PR experts now on their side, Nicola and Brooklyn seem ready to steer the story their way.
But insiders wonder if the public will buy their version of events — or if the drama will continue to follow them.
Either way, Nicola Peltz is showing she’s not one to back down easily.
