Spice Up Your Screens: Inside the Spice Girls' WhatsApp Drama!
Spice Girls Drama: WhatsApp Groups, Fallout, and a Scandalous Past
The Spice Girls, one of the most iconic girl groups of all time, have always been known for their catchy songs, colorful personalities, and unbreakable bond. But behind the scenes, it seems like there's more drama than harmony. A recent revelation has sent shockwaves through the media: Melanie C, also known as Sporty Spice, has confessed that there are multiple WhatsApp groups created by the women, and she's not even a part of one of them!
Appearing on Heart Radio alongside Baby Spice Emma Bunton, Mel C dished about the separate groups during an impromptu chat. When Jamie Theakston asked if they had a group chat, Mel C bluntly replied, "Yes, there are several... I know there's one without me on it." Emma tried to downplay the situation, but Mel C wasn't having it, saying, "Of course, there is!"
The bombshell revelation comes as no surprise, considering the Spice Girls have had their fair share of publicized fallouts over the years. Victoria Beckham, 51, recently opened up about a hurtful comment made by Mel B during an interview for her Netflix documentary, where she revealed that Mel B told her to "don't forget where you've come from." The other girls haven't been immune to the drama either; Geri Halliwell-Horner and Mel B have reportedly had their share of "little digs" on set, leading Geri to pull out of plans for a new tour.
But things took a turn for the worse when Mel C herself joined in on the criticism. In an interview from 2003, she branded Geri as "untalented," sparking a fiery reaction from fans and fellow band members alike. The tension between Mel B and Geri has been ongoing since their 2019 reunion tour, with both women exchanging heated words.
In a shocking admission, Mel B even revealed that she and Geri had a lesbian fling during the Spice Girls' heyday in the Nineties. Geri responded to these claims with a statement denying the rumors and expressing her hurt over the situation. The drama didn't end there; sources close to Geri claimed that she was "livid" following Mel B's comments, which sparked further tension between the two women.
But what about Victoria Beckham? It seems like she's been at odds with the other Spice Girls since their early days. In a 2022 interview, Mel C revealed that she had a falling out with Victoria during the Brit Awards in 1996 and was even threatened to be kicked out of the band. Despite this, the group managed to put on a united front and went on to achieve immense success.
The Spice Girls' split in 2000 marked the end of an era, but their reunion tours have provided a brief glimpse into their rekindled friendship. However, with multiple WhatsApp groups now in existence, it seems like the drama is far from over. As the girls prepare for yet another reunion tour (this time without Victoria), fans are left wondering: what's next for the Spice Girls?
As we wait to see how this latest development unfolds, one thing is certain – the Spice Girls' legacy is still as iconic and captivating as ever. But beneath the sparkly costumes and catchy lyrics lies a complex web of friendships, rivalries, and unrequited love. The world may be waiting with bated breath for their next move, but one thing's for sure: when it comes to the Spice Girls, you can bet your platform shoes there'll always be drama, gossip, and a whole lot of spice.
