Spice Girls vs Geri Horner: Netflix Biopic Pushes On Without All Five!
Spice Girls Drama: Geri Horner's £1M Heist Foiled!
The Spice Girls, the iconic girl group that dominated the '90s music scene with their catchy hits and unforgettable style, are at it again - but this time, it's not about singing or dancing. The drama has been brewing behind the scenes, and insiders claim Geri Horner is the culprit behind the latest power struggle within the group.
According to a source close to the situation, Geri Horner, also known as Ginger Spice, derailed plans for a lucrative Netflix biopic that would have earned each of the five original members - Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), and herself - a whopping £1 million each. The drama series was set to tell the story of the Spice Girls' rise to fame, but Geri's last-minute decision to back out has left the other four members feeling betrayed.
The "rule of four" - a pact that allowed the group to tour without all five members in agreement - is being implemented once again, as Mel B, Mel C, and Emma Bunton are reportedly moving forward with plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut single "Wannabe". The trio has been keen to mark the occasion with a special project or performance, but Geri's involvement was crucial for any major endeavor.
Insiders claim that Netflix had already given the group an ultimatum: get your act together and make this biopic happen, or we'll do it without you. It seems like Geri's reluctance to commit has led to a stalemate, and the project is now in jeopardy. The streaming service is said to be keen on getting the Spice Girls' input, but with only four members on board, the momentum has been lost.
The idea of a Netflix biopic was always a high-risk, high-reward venture for the group. With a reported budget of £10 million, it would have been one of the most expensive and ambitious projects in the streaming service's history. However, Geri's alleged concerns about her role in the project may have been influenced by rumors that she and husband Christian were approached to star in a separate, fly-on-the-wall TV series. The documentary-style show was said to focus on their personal lives, including Christian's sexting scandal and his subsequent axing from Red Bull.
As tensions rise within the group, it's clear that Geri Horner's decision to back out of the biopic has caused friction among her former bandmates. With only a year left before the 30th anniversary of "Wannabe", time is running out for the Spice Girls to come together and make something special happen.
In a recent interview, Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) dropped a major hint about a possible reunion, stating that she's "tempted" by the idea of performing with her former bandmates again. However, when asked if she could take on a world tour, she playfully replied, "I have a job...". The iconic concert hall, the Sphere, has been mentioned as a potential venue for a Spice Girls reunion show, but it remains to be seen whether the group will reunite in time to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
The Spice Girls' latest reunion came in 2019, when Mel B, Mel C, and Emma Bunton toured together without Victoria Beckham. Although the four-piece tour was a huge success, the group's plans for a Las Vegas residency were eventually scrapped. As the music industry continues to evolve, it's clear that the Spice Girls are not immune to the drama and intrigue that comes with fame.
In a shocking twist, Netflix is reportedly prepared to go ahead with the biopic without the Spice Girls' input - a move that echoes their decision to produce "The Crown" without the consent of Queen Elizabeth II. It seems like Geri Horner's last-minute decision has not only derailed the biopic but also sparked a full-blown power struggle within the group.
As the Spice Girls drama unfolds, one thing is clear: only time will tell if this iconic girl group can put their differences aside and come together to create something truly special.
