during an appearance on CNBC’s financial program “Squawk Box.” On Tuesday, David got candid about the pros and cons of social media before addressing his children’s “mistakes.”

“I’ve always talked about social media and the power of social media. For better or worse,” David said.

“My entire life my family has controlled the media narrative about my family [with] Performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes how far they will go to protect their own image by planting countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people.”

The 26-year-old girl claimed that her parents tried to sabotage her relationship with her husband Nicola Peltz long before they got married in 2022.

“My parents have been trying non-stop to destroy my relationship since my wedding and it hasn’t stopped,” she wrote. “Despite how excited she was to wear his design, my mother canceled making Nicola’s dress at the eleventh hour, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my family repeatedly pressured and tried to bribe me into signing over the rights to my name, which would affect me, my wife, and our future children.”

Brooklyn said she was subjected to “endless attacks” from her parents both publicly and privately, before detailing the embarrassing moment her mother “missed” her first dance with Peltz at their wedding.

“My mother hijacked my first dance with my wife, which I had planned weeks in advance, with a romantic love song,” he claimed. “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me on stage; I was scheduled to have a romantic dance with my wife, but my mother was waiting to dance with me instead. He danced with me in a very inappropriate way in front of everyone. I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that brought us joy and happiness, not anxiety and shame.”

Anthony’s representative did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment at the time.
