Victoria Beckham Documentary Debuts on Netflix, Revealing Eating Disorder and Business Struggles

The three-part film reframes her image through candid therapy-driven disclosures.

Overview

  • Netflix released the three-part series on October 9, offering an up-close account of Beckham’s life and career.
  • Beckham discloses a long-running eating disorder, saying she sought control through unhealthy weight management and recalls being weighed live on TV in 1999 shortly after giving birth.
  • She details years of losses at her fashion label, acknowledges wasteful spending such as about £70,000 on office plants plus annual upkeep, and says David Beckham repeatedly injected cash before the business returned to profit.
  • The London premiere at Curzon Mayfair drew David, Romeo, Cruz and Harper as well as Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell-Horner and Melanie C, with Brooklyn absent and Mel B sending flowers.
  • The series includes voices such as Anna Wintour and Tom Ford and is produced by a company linked to David Beckham, with Victoria describing the process as a year of intensive therapy.
