Victoria Beckham has given an unprecedented look into her personal struggles in a new Netflix documentary series, 'VICTORIA BECKHAM'. In the three-part series, the former Spice Girl and fashion designer speaks candidly about her battle with an eating disorder, the pressures of the 'WAG' label, and how her husband David Beckham's support helped her through difficult times.
The documentary, from the creators of 'BECKHAM', follows Victoria as she prepares for Paris Fashion Week while reflecting on her journey from a bullied child to a global fashion icon. She admits to using makeup as a 'mask' due to problematic skin and low confidence in her youth, and recalls the emotional toll of transitioning from the Spice Girls to motherhood and life as a footballer's wife.
Victoria confesses that during the 2006 World Cup, her extravagant fashion choices were a form of 'attention-seeking' as she felt 'incomplete' and 'creatively unfulfilled'. She also reveals that her parents remortgaged their house to fund her theatre school education, leaving her with a deep sense of responsibility to succeed.
The series features appearances from David Beckham, Eva Longoria, Donatella Versace, and Roland Mouret. Victoria shares a story of being 'rude' to Versace staff by redesigning a dress, and reflects on feeling 'really lonely' despite her loving marriage and new baby. The documentary is set for release this week.
