Los Angeles, Oct 5 (NationPress) Singer turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham expressed that being asked about her past with the Spice Girls during her new Netflix documentary series was quite triggering.
The 51-year-old icon is featured in a new Netflix documentary series named Victoria Beckham.
In an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine, she shared, “I’ve been defined by a four-year period in my life. That was the Spice Girls. It’s taken me almost two decades to fight that, and I feel that only now can I look back and talk about it.”
Beckham continued, “I’m not going to lie, being asked questions about my time with the Spice Girls was quite triggering. I would say those were the most challenging moments. It was almost like therapy for me.”
Despite the emotional toll, she expressed being so proud of her achievements with the group and confirmed she is still in contact with all her bandmates, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
She stated, “I love the Spice Girls. I truly do. Reflecting on that time has been wonderful. Just the other night, I had dinner with Emma and Geri, while Mel B reached out to me over the weekend. I maintain a connection with all the girls. I am immensely proud of our accomplishments. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the Spice Girls, 100 percent.”
While she was open to discussing various topics in the series, she noted it was an emotional journey.
When asked if there were subjects she declined to discuss, she replied, “No. I touch on my family, the Spice Girls, the challenges we faced with the business, including financial losses — there were many triggers.
“I cried. Although I haven’t seen the final edit yet, yes, I did cry. It takes a lot to make me cry, but it happened. I’ve earned my place to showcase in Paris; I’ve earned respect.”
The fashion designer agreed to her own documentary series after being pleasantly surprised by the feedback from her appearances in David Beckham’s fly-on-the-wall program.
She remarked, “To be completely honest, I didn’t love my portrayal in that documentary… I was surprised by the positive feedback regarding my contribution. David’s documentary made me realize how rewarding it is to be proven wrong. I enjoy being wrong. I was wrong, and I embrace that.”
