US EditionFormer ‘Spice Girl’ Reveals Hidden Eating Disorder: ‘You Become Very Good at Lying’
Victoria Beckham reflects on nearly two decades of body image challenges shaped by public scrutiny and conflicting feedback on her weight, revealed in her new Netflix docuseries.
- On October 9, Victoria Beckham premiered the Netflix three-part docuseries revealing her lifelong battle with an eating disorder, now available to stream.
- After the Spice Girls split, Beckham said public criticism and 1990s body expectations left her losing touch with reality, as contradictory feedback about her weight contributed to her struggles.
- She recalls being weighed on national television six months after giving birth to Brooklyn and said she became adept at hiding the disorder, never honest with family.
- Beckham hopes her honesty will help women facing similar struggles, and advises calling the National Alliance for Eating Disorders at +1 662-1235 or texting ALLIANCE to 741741.
- Contextualising her story, the timeline moves from Sir David Beckham noting that TV criticism of women's weight was once accepted to Beckham's shift from pop fame to fashion entrepreneurship at Paris Fashion Week.
