Victoria Beckham is opening up about a comment from Mel B, her former Spice Girls groupmate, that upset her.

The fashion designer offers rare insight into her life and career in her eponymous new Netflix docuseries (out now), including revelations about her time with the popular English girl group that also consisted of Mel C, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell.

Spice Girls, which made their debut in 1994, split in 2000, and Beckham turned her attention to her fashion empire before the group reunited for a tour in 2008. "It was good to be back" with the girls, Beckham said, but she recalled an upsetting exchange with Mel B.**

"One of the girls actually said to me, and it did upset me not too long ago actually — it was Melanie B who said to me — 'Don't forget where you've come from,'" Beckham recounted. "I have never forgotten where I've come from. I have never, ever forgotten that Posh Spice is the reason that I'm sitting here now. She might have been grumpy, but she was actually great."

While "it was good to celebrate the Spice Girls," it was ultimately during that tour that Beckham "realized I didn't belong on stage," she revealed. "It had been fun, but it wasn't what I loved anymore."**

"I knew that to start this new chapter of my life, I had to change," Beckham said. "Strip the other personas away . . . I became a simpler, more elegant version of myself and I went to work." And as a celebrity foraying into the fashion space and trying to launch her self-titled fashion brand, "the likelihood that I was going to become successful was very, very slim," Beckham said.**

But that only "fueled me, to be completely honest," Beckham added.

The three-part docuseries also features reflections of childhood and motherhood, plus revelations about Beckham's decades-long struggle with an eating disorder.  "I was just very critical of myself," she shares. "I didn't like what I saw. I've been everything from Porky Posh to Skinny Posh."

"I had no control over what was being written about me, pictures that were being taken, and I suppose I wanted to control that, you know?" Beckham says. "I could control it with clothing, I could control my weight, and I was controlling it in an incredibly unhealthy way."
