What they’re saying

“I have nothing to say about what's happening with the family. They're a wonderful, wonderful family. I've known them since before the kids were born. I'm godfather to Cruz. I'm really close to the family.”

— Marc Anthony (The Hollywood Reporter)

“But I have nothing to say about what happened there. It's extremely unfortunate how it's playing out — but [how it's playing out] is hardly the truth.”

— Marc Anthony (The Hollywood Reporter)

“Why is Victoria getting blamed when it was Marc Anthony who put her in that situation and was egging it on as he as he went through the dance?”

— Alison Hammond, TV Host (This Morning)

“Basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage. Brooklyn went onto the stage, everyone's expecting it to be Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then he, Marc Anthony, asks the most beautifulest woman in the room to come to the stage, and then he says: 'Victoria, come up to the stage.'”

— Fat Tony, Wedding DJ (This Morning)

“So, Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and at this point Brooklyn's suddenly literally devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife.”

— Fat Tony, Wedding DJ (This Morning)
