In a new Netflix documentary premiering this Thursday, Victoria Beckham speaks openly about her eating disorder.
In the three-part series, the former Spice Girl and fashion entrepreneur tells her own story; the doc comes two years after her husband, Sir David Beckham, released his own hit TV series.
At 51, Victoria is surprisingly candid when addressing her eating disorder and how the condition affects her life: “When you have an eating disorder, you become very good at lying, and I was never honest about it with my parents,” she revealed.
“I’ve never spoken about it publicly. It’s very hard for me to constantly hear that I’m not good enough, and I think that’s something that’s stayed with me my whole life.”
“I’ve been everything from Porky Posh to Skinny Posh,” she says in the documentary. “I mean, you know, it’s been a lot, and that’s hard. I had no control over what people wrote about me, over the photos they took, and I think I wanted to control that — to control it through clothes.”
“I could control my weight, and I was controlling it in an incredibly unhealthy way,” she confessed.
