In her latest Netflix documentary series, Victoria Beckham opens up about the real story behind her iconic “Skinny Posh” image. It turns out that the glamorous persona was born out of her personal struggle with an eating disorder that lasted for years.
She admitted that she was very good at hiding the problem and never spoke about it openly — not even with her parents.

Now, Victoria hopes that by sharing her story, she can raise awareness about eating disorders and encourage others who are going through similar struggles to seek help.

Victoria Beckham urges people to be more empathetic, offer positive support, and appreciate the experiences of those who suffer — while encouraging them to open up and seek professional help when needed for their overall well-being.
— Boom!
