Read our privacy policy The recently resurfaced video of Victoria Beckham being weighed on live TV two months after giving birth has sparked intense backlash on social media, where viewers have condemned the “dehumanising” treatment. “As a parent of a 13 year old, thank goodness times have changed and the world we live in has evolved,” one viewer said. Another wrote: “Jeez that’s outrageous, thank god times have moved on.” While reflecting on the experience with Vogue Australia, Beckham also acknowledged the public’s fixation with her weight, with the designer revealing that she has been called everything from “Porky Posh” to “Skeletal Posh”. Beckham’s comments come after she told Grazia earlier this year that she believes being “thin” is a “really old-fashioned attitude,” and that “women today want to look healthy, and curvy”.
