Victoria Beckham says she was seen as a “miserable cow” who never smiled

Victoria Beckham is clearing the air on her so-called temperamental reputation… saying people see her as a ‘miserable cow’, but in reality she’s just smiling on the inside.

Beckham opens up in a new Netflix doc about giving off “ice queen” vibes during her rise to fame as Posh Spice of the Spice Girls — and then navigating the elite social scene with her famous husband, soccer legend David Beckham.

In the aptly titled doc ‘Victoria Beckham’, Victoria says she knows all about how people thought she ‘never smiled’ and was just a ‘miserable cow’.

A harsh self-assessment, but Victoria insists she’s actually smiling, saying, “Don’t be shocked.” She explains it this way… “It’s a fact. I’ve looked miserable all these years because when we stand on the red carpet, this guy (David Beckham) always moves to the left.”

Victoria adds… “Now I didn’t realize that when I smile – which I do – I smile from the left. Because if I smile from the right, I look sick.” She goes on to say that she’s “smiling on the inside but no one ever sees it,” and that’s why “I look so moody.”

The three-part documentary series is released today and follows Victoria’s life from her Spice Girls days to her marriage to David and on to her fashion career.
