Brooklyn Beckham’s new love interest has faced a barrage of abuse online after the pair were pictured kissing.

Canadian model Lexi Wood was snapped getting cosy with Beckham at a tattoo parlour in Hollywood as he added a pin-up to his growing collection of body art.

Beckham shocked fans with the public display of affection less than a month after he celebrated his birthday with ex-girlfriend Chloe Moretz.

Fans of the Kick Ass actress targeted Wood with vile messages on Instagram, calling her a “b****” and declaring she will never be as good for Beckham as Moretz. Others accused her of using the budding photographer to find fame.

One user commented: “Move away from Brooklyn u little b****. Agh goddd. Why he isn’t with Chlo.”

Another posted: “B**** Go to hell and stay away from Brooklyn.”

A third accused her of breaking up Beckham and Moretz, writing: “Breaking up true love to fulfil your fantasies and gain fame, what a woman (sic).”

Others quickly jumped to her defence with one posting: “To all the people hating on her, y’all are childish as f***. F*** off and leave her alone.”

Another wrote: “Why are you all calling her a snake I don’t get it Brooklyn Beckham is single she done nothing wrong???”

Wood – who has modelled for Playboy and Vogue – previously opened up about being bullied at school, saying she retreated in on herself instead of standing up to her tormentors.

“I was bullied in high school by a bunch of girls. Instead of sticking up for myself and not letting things get to me, I kind of retreated to the comfort of my family and keeping to myself,” she told GQ last year.

“I ended up leaving school to be home-schooled, but I wish I would have stuck it out and stood my ground.”
