Victoria Beckham is keen to “empower women” and suggested that it takes a lot for her to fall out with other females.
Victoria Beckham is determined to “empower women”.
The Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer explained that she is a champion of female advancement and alluded to rumored tensions with her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, by suggesting that a woman has to be a “real a******” for her not to be friendly with them.
Asked if she got on with other footballers’ wives and girlfriends (WAGs) in the past, Victoria – who is married to former England captain David Beckham – told Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show: “I did. I’m a girl’s girl. I mean you’ve got to be a real a****** for me to not get on with you if you’re a woman.”
Posh Spice continued: “Because I love, I love women, you know, and that’s part of the reason why I do what I do with fashion and beauty.
“I want to empower women. Yes. And I want to share my tips and tricks with women.”
Victoria – who has sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14, with David – explained recently that she tries to create a “safe forum” for her “close family” to discuss anything they might be uncomfortable with.
The 51-year-old star told the Call Her Daddy podcast: “I mean, we’re such a close family and, you know, communication is key and we always let them know that anything that they want to talk about, you know, this is a safe forum. You know, that’s really important.”
Quizzed about how she and David address their changing family dynamic, Victoria said: “Again, it’s just about communicating.
“We’ve always been that way with the kids. And I’m excited for them, they’re all very different. They like to do different things.”
Victoria has revealed in her new eponymous Netflix documentary that she has struggled with an eating disorder for many years and explained that she felt “too scared” to confide in anyone on the matter – including David.
She explained: “I was too scared to talk to anyone. I didn’t feel that I could trust anyone at all.”
Beckham explained in the documentary that she even hid her health problems from her family in her bid to remain “relevant” after the Spice Girls split up in 2001.
She said: “When you have an eating disorder you become very good at lying and I was never honest about it with my parents.
“I never talked about it publicly. It really affects you when you’re being told constantly that you’re not good enough and I suppose that’s been with me my whole life.”
