Victoria Beckham Doc Reveals Eating Disorder, Deep Losses and an Investor-Led Fix

The three-part Netflix portrait reframes her image through frank self-examination that culminates in a business reckoning.

Overview

  • Netflix is streaming a three-part series tracing Beckham’s journey from Spice Girl to fashion designer as she readies a Paris Fashion Week show.
  • Beckham discusses a long-standing eating disorder and recalls being weighed on live TV months after giving birth, describing how scrutiny fueled unhealthy control.
  • The film lays out years of heavy losses at her label and the arrival of investor David Belhassen, who criticized spending such as roughly £70,000 annually on plants plus £15,000 for watering.
  • She says David Beckham encouraged her into the 2008 Spice Girls reunion so their children could see her perform, a push she jokingly calls “mum-guilting.”
  • Family presence and industry voices shape the narrative, with a brief cameo from Brooklyn compared with more of Harper, and commentary from Donatella Versace and Anna Wintour.
