Victoria Beckham Netflix Documentary Premieres With First On-Camera Eating-Disorder Disclosure

Directed by Nadia Hallgren, the three-part series situates her candid account of disordered eating within years of invasive coverage.

Overview

  • Netflix released Victoria Beckham, a three-part series, on Oct. 9 following a London premiere at Curzon Mayfair.
  • Beckham recounts being weighed live on Chris Evans’s TFI Friday in 1999 shortly after giving birth, describing the moment as deeply hurtful.
  • She details long-running body-image struggles, saying she hid the disorder from her parents and underwent a year of intensive therapy that helped her feel "enough."
  • The film traces the precarious early years of her fashion label, including repeated cash infusions from David Beckham and fears she would lose everything.
  • Anna Wintour and Tom Ford appear in the documentary, and the premiere drew David plus Romeo, Cruz and Harper, with Brooklyn absent as several Spice Girls attended.
