Victoria Beckham has opened up in a Victoria Beckham documentary about her most challenging years, revealing personal and professional struggles. Furthermore, the Netflix series gives fans a rare insight into her journey from pop star to fashion designer.
In the three-part docuseries, Victoria recalls going to work in tears as she battled mounting debts and tried to save her fashion empire. She explains, “I almost lost everything. I used to cry before I went to work every day.”
She describes running her company as a constant firefight. Moreover, she says, “It was like a snowball going down a mountain. We were millions in the red.” She adds that her desperation to save the business pushed her to breaking point.
Her husband, David Beckham, frequently intervened financially, reportedly covering £30 million at one point. As a result, Victoria says discussing finances with her husband as both spouse and business partner added stress. “I had to – he was invested. And I hated it,” she admits.
David recalls feeling the pressure as well. “I was panicked by it because I never saw anything coming back,” he says. Eventually, he decided that the situation could not continue.
Despite these difficulties, Victoria managed to turn her business around. By August this year, Victoria Beckham Holdings had grown by 22 percent over the previous 12 months. Therefore, she expresses pride in overcoming challenges after years of criticism.
The series also touches on her personal struggles, including an eating disorder during her Spice Girls fame. Victoria explains she sought control over her weight in unhealthy ways and rarely spoke about it publicly.
PR expert Dermot McNamara says the Victoria Beckham documentary shows a different side of the star. “She’s finally letting the mask slip and revealing the struggles behind the polished facade,” he notes.
Victoria also opens up about her relationship with David and raising children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. She admits marriage and motherhood were not initially part of her life plan. “I was never the young girl dreaming of marriage or kids,” she says.
Meanwhile, David describes falling in love quickly and completely. “I couldn’t find one thing about her I didn’t like. She was mythical to me,” he recalls. Additionally, Dermot McNamara adds that David’s support remains a key strength for Victoria.
The series balances darker moments with lighter ones. For example, Victoria humorously addresses her public reputation for looking moody, blaming David’s position on red carpets for the perception.
Victoria reflects on her journey as therapeutic. “I went into this calling myself a control freak and came out a reformed control freak,” she jokes. Consequently, Dermot concludes that the Victoria Beckham documentary captures a turning point, revealing vulnerability and authenticity.
Ultimately, the series demonstrates that after decades in the public eye, Victoria now prioritizes being real over proving herself. Therefore, fans witness the resilience and honesty that have defined her career.
