LIZ JONES: I’ve Seen the Real Victoria Beckham — Her Actions Gave Me PTSD. She Shunned Me and Even Banned Me From Glancing in Her Direction… and I Know Exactly Why
In a raw and shocking revelation, columnist Liz Jones recounts her unsettling encounters with Victoria Beckham — from icy silences to public humiliation — and the painful reason she believes Posh turned on her.
Liz Jones has never been one to hold back — but her latest confession about Victoria Beckham has left readers stunned. In an emotional and deeply personal piece, the outspoken columnist revealed that her encounters with the former Spice Girl-turned-designer were so distressing they left her with symptoms of PTSD.
“I’ve seen the real Victoria Beckham,” Jones begins, describing the moment she claims the superstar’s chilly demeanor shifted from polite distance to open disdain. “She didn’t just ignore me — she made it clear I was beneath her.”
According to Jones, what began as admiration for Beckham’s rise from pop star to fashion icon slowly turned into a painful pattern of rejection. “I once adored her,” she wrote. “I celebrated her achievements. I defended her in print when the world mocked her outfits or her thin frame. But over time, I became invisible to her — and it was deliberate.”
The tipping point, Jones claims, came during a major fashion event in London where Beckham’s PR team allegedly gave her strict instructions: “Do not approach her. Do not speak to her. Do not even look at her.”
The humiliation, Jones says, was overwhelming. “Imagine being told you can’t glance in someone’s direction — someone whose career you helped elevate through years of coverage,” she writes. “I was left shaking. It sounds absurd, but it was psychological warfare — and it left a mark.”
The veteran journalist, known for her brutally honest essays about fame, aging, and insecurity, suggests that Beckham’s treatment of her stems from one thing: truth. “Victoria doesn’t forgive those who see behind the veneer,” Jones claims. “She’s spent decades perfecting the illusion of control — of being polished, untouchable, robotic in her perfection. I think I saw too much. And she knew it.”
Jones also hints at deeper industry politics, suggesting that Beckham’s camp has a “blacklist” of journalists deemed too unpredictable. “I wasn’t a yes-woman,” she explains. “I wrote honestly — sometimes too honestly — and that made me an enemy in a world built on image.”
While Jones’s account has reignited public debate about Beckham’s rumored aloofness, insiders close to the designer maintain she is “professional and guarded,” especially around certain members of the media.
For Jones, however, the emotional aftermath remains raw. “It’s strange to admit a celebrity could have that kind of power over me,” she concludes. “But when you’re made to feel invisible, dismissed, and controlled — that’s not just arrogance. It’s cruelty disguised as glamour.”
The explosive column has sparked fierce reactions online — with fans divided between defending Beckham’s icy professionalism and condemning her alleged treatment of the journalist.
Whatever side one takes, one thing is clear: behind the polished façade of fashion’s favorite power couple lies a world of control, image, and silence — and Liz Jones just ripped the curtain wide open.
