Victoria Beckham Netflix Doc Debuts With First Public Admission of Eating Disorder

The series centers on her first admission of an eating disorder, linking past on-air humiliation to a later business turnaround.

Overview

  • The three-part series, directed by Nadia Hallgren, premiered in London on October 8 and began streaming on Netflix on October 9.
  • Beckham describes a long-running eating disorder, saying she controlled her weight "incredibly unhealthily," hid it from her parents, and recalls being weighed on TV in 1999 six months after giving birth.
  • The documentary traces prolonged losses at her fashion label, including wasteful early spending and investor intervention, before a recovery that saw first profits after years and reported 2024 revenue of $150 million.
  • High-profile voices such as Anna Wintour and Tom Ford appear, and the Beckham family production company produced the series, which follows preparations for a Paris Fashion Week show.
  • At the London premiere, David Beckham, three of their children and three Spice Girls attended, while son Brooklyn was absent.
