Nicola Peltz has come under harsh criticism from her former hairstylist, who labeled her as “not a good person,” reinforcing previous descriptions of her as behaving like “a monster.”
Justin Anderson, the celebrity hairstylist, has entered the ongoing feud involving the Beckhams, sharing his perspective on Brooklyn Beckham’s startling remarks made on Monday night.
Anderson has consistently voiced his unfavorable opinion of Nicola, once describing her as “the worst of the worst” back in 2019 following a reported incident where she accused him of damaging her hair.
On Monday, Anderson took to Instagram, expressing his disappointment over Brooklyn’s public criticism of his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. “You can’t take that back, the whole world is watching,” he noted with concern.
“Why do it?” he pondered aloud. Anderson suggested that someone might be influencing Brooklyn to make such statements, perhaps to deflect negative attention away from themselves by casting others in a bad light.
While admitting this wasn’t his first time criticizing Nicola, Anderson stood firm on his previous assessments, characterizing her as “not nice” and exuding “not good energy.”
Nicola Peltz has been branded ‘not a good person’ by the hair stylist who called her ‘a monster’ in a fiery feud before she married Brooklyn Beckham
Justin Anderson has waded into the Beckham feud to give his thoughts on Brooklyn’s bombshell statement on Monday night.
‘Based on how many wedding planners she went through I think she’s the issue,’ he continued.
Nicola’s father Nelson filed a lawsuit against two of the couple’s wedding planners, Plan Design’s Nicole Eichenwald Braghin and Arianna Grijalba, who were hired six weeks before the wedding and let go nine days later.
Of his past relationship with Nicola, hair stylist Justin explained how he ‘perked up when I saw they were getting married. I’m like, “oh gosh this is not going to be good for that family”. Spooky energy.’
‘I don’t even feel bad saying that. When someone is not nice it always comes out. You can’t hide that.’
In 2019 Justin went on a shock rant about Nicola on a podcast with Jackie Schimmel, branding the actress a ‘diva’ and vowing he would ‘never work with her again’.
The hairdresser, who has worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Kelly Osbourne, Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry, was Nicola’s colourist when she was on the 2014 press tour for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age Of Extinction, in which she starred aged 18 as Mark Wahlberg’s on-screen daughter Tessa Yeager.
But there is some mystery surrounding what really happened between the duo, as sources close to Nicola allege Justin ‘burnt her hair off’ during the process of bleaching it for the Transformers press tour.
Five years after he was ‘fired’ – and three years before Nicola married Brooklyn – Justin had plenty of things to say about his interactions with the actress.

Do YOU think ‘where there’s smoke, there’s fire’ applies here?
Nicola was branded a ‘monster’ and ‘the worst of the worst’ by her ex celebrity hair colourist Justin (pictured) in 2019 after an alleged altercation between the pair
Posting on Instagram, Justin admitted Brooklyn’s public attack on his parents David and Victoria made him ‘sad,’ as he pointed out: ‘You can’t take that back, the world is watching’
Speaking on the 2019 podcast about the celebrities he has worked with he said: ‘I’ve lucked out that I have had amazing people to work with but the ones that were ever bad were the ones that ended up not going anywhere, so I can talk about them.
‘I remember this one time the worst of the worst of the worst, there was this one little diva girl, f*** yeh, I’m just going to get in trouble.
‘But she was the new Transformer girl, her name was Nicola Peltz, turns out she’s from a really wealthy family and it was like she was supposed to be the new IT girl but she has disappeared now. She is actually a monster.’
‘I put my foot in my mouth years ago when I talked about her,’ he has admitted in new comments. ‘I thought she wasn’t a thing anymore when I talked about her, but then she married into a very famous family.’
‘She was supposed to be the new IT girl. Girls who aren’t nice kind of disappear. Hollywood doesn’t put up with it. I said her name and then didn’t think about it for years.’
Justin claimed that Nicola then ‘tried to spin’ the story of him being fired, adding ‘she’s good with PR’.
Brooklyn and his wife have been at the heart of the acrimonious divide that has resulted in them snubbing all significant family celebrations over recent months, including his father Sir David’s milestone 50th birthday and knighthood.
Justin previously went on a shock rant about Nicola, branding the actress a ‘diva’ and vowing he would ‘never work with her again’
Brooklyn claimed in his statement that he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.
Brooklyn concluded: ‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.
‘Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
‘The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.
‘I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.
‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’
The Daily Mail has contacted the Beckhams for comment.
