Victoria Beckham documentary - I am in awe of her

[snoopysdog]

What a stylish, elegant lady. Designer, high achiever, business woman. I am in total awe of her.

I can only DREAM of being that stylish & elegant.

I like her but her documentary was very boring and totally disappointing.

If you found it entertaining, I'm guessing you're easily pleased.

There's no way its true. Her and David have a personal trainer and work out for two hours a day. She'd be dead due to calorie deficit if she were eating 500 cals a day.

Has VB actually said that she lives on 500 calories a day, and she and David work out for two hours a day - or is this speculation?

I enjoyed the documentary, and like her clothes, but sadly, I’m not the right shape or income bracket. She has always been self-effacing. It was fascinating watching her style change through the decades.

Is that you Vic?

On the documentary David just seemed so fed up with her while she was still in love with him, maybe it’s just how he comes across in public

How many documetaries does she need to make about herself? She just tries so hard to be liked and appear relatable. I'm not massively keen on her tbh but it's just my opinion. I found her autobiography quite bitchy (and she denied having a boob job in that book which was clearly a lie and I think it's quite naughty to lie in your autobiography) and I also felt she was quite haughty when she was only really an average talent and hardly in a position to look down on others when she essentially just got very lucky. When she first got with David she got really full of herself, and whilst the whole Rebecca Loos thing was dreadful, just goes to show that pride comes before a mighty fall. Sorry.

Hmmmmm. That’s interesting interpretation of the documentary, which let’s face it was in the main an infomercial about her eponymous fashion brand. If anything, it went to great pains to say VB isn’t much of a businesswoman, as her numbers/bail outs testify. She is a fashionista, her journey from wag to fashion crowd is certainly noteworthy, if nothing else.

Ok Vicki! 😆

🤣. Having a busy time on Mumsnet today OP.

Gave up on her when she stayed with Dave after his affair, then had 2 more kids while he was 'phew, got away wiht THAT'

Many new businesses lose money for many year when they start, she also said it was difficult to admit she needed help, but she has and now it’s sorted. Running a business is a massive learning curve regardless of who you are.

It is interesting to see the documentary and all the vitriol that she has had to put up with along the way. And equally "interesting" to see it mirrored here. Perhaps everyone should watch it. They may not be so quick to be so scathing if they saw what she had to put up with.

I think she obviously has a good sense of humour and fun in that she does almost make fun of herself. I don't know why people get so wound up about her or about people who like her.

The privileges of immense wealth probably soften the effect of all the vitriol!

Stylish easy with all her money. She has been lucky but good luck to her

Does it though? I am sure it makes for a nicer life but do you think that because someone is wealthy it's okay to make vile personal and often untrue attacks about someone?

That you Victoria?

Of course not, it but it must be better to feel comforted when cushioned in luxury! Plus you have the money to sue them!

I agree entirely.

She is very brave and tenacious, and has amazing self-control. Her clothes aren’t for me, but well done to her.

I still don’t get the awe part. Awe how? She hasn’t worked hard by any stretch of the imagination for years. She’s (and David) been propped up by our ridiculous celebrity culture and has raked in a fortune from exposing her life and her children’s lives from day dot. All the vitriol is money in the bank, from projects that she invites the press intrusion into. She sells herself and her kids to the paps. At this rate she’s no more awe inspiring than an influencer on TikTok. Spice Girls era was iconic, I’ll absolutely give her that, but since then? Flogging a dead horse springs to mind. Dragging out fame with her bastard husband and no mark kids in tow.

She needs therapy for the eating disorder desperately, and she is active in it right now and publishing photos that are extremely concerning to other women and young girls around the world via instagram. She’s not iconic or awe inspiring right now, she’s a deeply unpleasant and I’d go so far as dangerous example to vulnerable and impressionable women who think that having an active ED, exploiting your kids and being in 40 mil debt is awe inspiring.

Seems like a total control freak.

Just to add to my above post, obviously anyone doing things like weighing her on telly, digging at her about her weight or appearance publicly or slagging her off for her weight/looks from a misogynistic standpoint is despicable. She incessantly brought the wolves to the door though, but I see it as two wrongs don’t make a right. Nobody should be subjected to abuse in the papers obviously, but then why oh why does she call the paps on herself and Harper?

I really like her. I found her to be quite humble in the documentary, she admitted where things went wrong in the early years of her business.

Very well put!

The weighing of her on national TV was talked about on Lorraine. I dont have Netflix so havent seen this documentary. Does anyone remember which TV show weighed her?
