Victoria Beckham TV series should leave Netflix ashamed – she’d be nothing with David

Victoria Beckham says in her new Netflix TV series: “When you have an eating disorder you get very good at lying.” Well, she’s right about that. Because, until now when it’s expedient to help sell her awful documentary, she’s always denied having an eating disorder. She’s also in the past vehemently denied having fake breasts which we now know was a lie, and a particularly stupid one because she always looked like she had two beach balls stuck onto her chest.

But Netflix should be ashamed for having even made this sickly, fawning three-part series – mainly because it’s just a big puff advertising piece for Beckham’s flailing fashion empire which hasn’t turned a profit for 15 years and has been kept afloat by David Beckham’s millions and massive cash injections from a private equity company which had to bail her out yet again this year.

As for that eating disorder – think how many people Posh might have helped had she come clean about it years ago. Think about how a woman with such a high profile could have helped remove the stigma attached to disorders like anorexia and bulimia. So why didn’t she talk about it before now? I’m guessing because she thought it might have adversely affected Brand Beckham and because it didn’t fit with the fairytale she’d spun about her perfect life, her perfect husband and her perfect family.

She’s also spent much of the three-part series moaning about her lack of confidence and how she’s never felt good enough (odd because people who’ve worked with her describe her as an entitled, demanding Madam who HAS to have everything she wants) and she has the brass-neck to try and elicit sympathy from us. Seriously? We’re supposed to feel sorry for a filthy-rich, spoiled millionaire who lives a life most people can only dream about yet is still moaning about how hard life has been.

As for her joke of a fashion empire – are we seriously supposed to believe that ludicrous clip in the series where she’s seen pinning up a dress for the Paris catwalk and telling the experts who actually make the dresses (and know how to pin up dresses) what she wants changed? This from a woman who can’t sew, cut patterns or even draw designs…

The Beckham fashion house is, and always has been, a vanity project for a woman who was desperate not to be seen as a fading pop star or a Wag. Trouble is that even after all these years she still hasn’t got the first clue how to run a business. In the doco, Beckham is seen begging her to pack it all in and tells her he can’t afford to keep pouring in cash: “I don’t have the money to keep doing this. It can’t continue.”

He tells her she has nothing to prove to him or anyone… But Victoria pouts:” I won’t give up my dream.” Oh, shut it, Victoria. That dream has been and is still being financed by her husband’s millions and wouldn’t exist without his patronage.

It’s no wonder she forgave him for his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos. She knows that without him she’d be nothing – just an unsmiling, po-faced ex-pop star and any success she’s had has come by hanging onto her husband’s coat tails. Victoria can only afford to pursue her dream because HE and other people finance it.
