Spice Girls Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton’s leaked conversations leave the band members red-faced as they expose unflattering messages and ‘catty’ remarks about Victoria
Several members of the Spice Girls were left ‘furious’ this week after unflattering details from a conversation emerged in court documents, according to reports.
Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton are said to have been left red-faced after a private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case.
According to The Sun, Mel B told her bandmates Geri and Emma that ‘charity doesn’t pay the bills’, during an apparent discussion about reuniting for a gig.
The publication reported that the leaked messages – which were revealed as part of a defamation case in the United States on Wednesday – have infuriated the stars.
It is expected that the embarrassment will continue over a catty exchange between the three band members over their now close-pal Victoria Beckham.
While the group are seemingly thick as thieves again now, there is apparently a string of emails gossiping about the way Victoria acted at the Viva Forever! West End musical premiere on December 11, 2012.
The fashion designer delayed the curtain call of the West End musical based on the Spice Girls’ biggest hits by 15 minutes after getting stuck in traffic.
Once she arrived, she decided to set separately from the rest of the group, taking her seat two rows behind the other women with her husband David and theiroria kids.
According to the publications insider, Victoria’s snub did not go down well with Mel B in particular.
The move came just months after the group lauded ‘girl power’ and reunited as a five-piece at the London Olympics closing ceremony.
It has also been reported that they called in legal assistance in case Victoria tried to stop them from going ahead with a potential tour.
Years later, Mel B, Geri and Emma are said to have planned a comeback – which never happened – without Victoria and Mel C.
It is awkward timing for the group, who now on seemingly good terms after recently celebrating Victoria’s 50th birthday together at her party in London.
Hopefully the emergence of a group chat between Geri, Emma and Mel B won’t cause any tension between the pals.
The report claims that after Mel commented that ‘charity doesn’t pay’, Geri told her that she ‘hopes nobody ever hacks your texts’.
Mel allegedly responded: ‘Why? My texts are fine,’ before adding: ‘Like I said charity doesn’t pay the bills everyone knows that.’
The source said: ‘This is highly embarrassing for the girls as it doesn’t exactly chime with their core messages. But obviously it was a fair few years ago now and they’ve all kissed and made up since then.
‘Just look at how happy they were together celebrating Victoria’s 50th birthday back in April, belting out their greatest hits together after a few drinks. The hatchet is well and truly buried.’
MailOnline contacted a representative for the Spice Girls for comment.
The leak will be unwelcome news to Geri, who has already been engulfed in a leaked messages scandal with her husband Christian Horner earlier this year.
On Wednesday, Geri made her first public appearance alone on at the Hay Festival where she is promoting her latest book, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen.
Geri beamed as she held a signing for her new novel which features main character Rosie, the star describes as ‘a new kind of hero for today’s young readers.’
One onlooker said: ‘Geri looked really smiley and happy. She was having her photo take with loads of kids and even two female police officers who had used their lunch break to meet her.
‘There were lots of people queuing to see their favourite Spice Girl.’
Before her talk the former Spice Girl hung out in the festival’s authors tent alongside the BBC football pundit, Gary Lineker.
According to an insider, Geri was in great spirits asking the staff ‘thousands’ of questions, taking interest in fellow speakers and asking for copies of books – in particular, one about the importance of mushrooms.
However, she refused to address her anguish over leaked flirtatious messages which her husband of nine years, Red Bull boss Christian, allegedly sent to a female colleague when asked by the Mail.
In February he found himself under investigation following an accusation of ‘inappropriate behaviour’, for which he was later cleared.
The woman, in her 40s, went to HR at the Formula 1 team after she received the messages from Horner, often late at night.
She accused him of ‘coercive behaviour’ but an internal inquiry chaired by an unknown KC appointed by Red Bull cleared him. Horner has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
LITERALLY living inside the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy in Mallorca, Spain for three years and counting, Filipina ace Alex Eala observed firsthand how tennis champions are made.
In fact, in some way, the 15-year-old sees herself treading the same ground and facing the same challenges as World No. 2 Rafael Nadal himself, who again bagged another Slam in his pocket today, after defeating World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets, in the French Open tournament.
It also helped, too, that she literally sees him on the court.
“Oftentimes, he plays beside me or on the court next to me. It’s so inspiring, even if you’re just watching him play from afar, you can learn a lot,” Eala said during a virtual press conference with the Philippine media on Sunday night.
Aside from being an oustanding athlete and tennis coach, she also considers the 34-year-old Nadal as an inspiring mentor.
“One of the biggest things I can take away from Rafa is his humility. [He’s] so grounded. He’s achieved more than I can dream of, and the fact that he’s achieved so much and he’s still very nice to everyone here, so down-to-earth, it’s very admirable for him,” she said.
It’s from him that Alex takes inspiration in celebrating her success in a very modest way. Just last Friday, she made the whole country proud after a gallant semifinals finish in her French Open stint.
Eala lost to Elsa Jacquemot, conceding the home ground to the French netter, 6-3, 6-2
Austin Butler just shared the details of his wild night at Paul McCartney’s house party.
The star-studded affair was not only the most “insane” time Butler’s had in a while, but it was the most glamorous, being surrounded by his childhood icons and legendary music artists like Meryl Streep and Bruce Springsteen.
Butler, 32, reflected on the experience while speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, who was also lucky enough to be at the party. During the June 17 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the two gushed about having last seen each other at McCartney’s house.
“Last time I saw you was at maybe the craziest party I’ve ever been to in my whole life,” Kimmel, 56, admitted before Butler agreed: “That was insane.”
Kimmel noted: “It was like a party where Tom Hanks is going: ‘Oh my God, can you believe who’s here?!’”
Emblem rockers like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ringo Starr graced McCartney’s home, leaving Hollywood’s elite to mingle with music royalty, the pair said. Even Taylor Swift was there, according to Butler and Kimmel.
The Elvisstar said the “Anti-Hero” singer wasn’t a normal guest, she was the DJ. “Yeah, she was DJing at one point,” Butler told Kimmel, who then quipped about how Swift isn’t booked and busy enough, she must oversee the music for McCartney’s party, too.
While Swift’s appearance may have been cause for celebration among some of the other guests, Butler confessed a different idol sent him into complete awe. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Meryl Streep in the same room as him.
“She’s just the greatest. I felt like, you know in high school when you have a crush on somebody and they’re across the room and you don’t really know how to say hello to them?” he said. “That’s how it was. I saw her there and I couldn’t believe I was in the same room.”
Too star-struck to approach the It’s Complicatedlead himself, Butler headed into McCartney’s kitchen to bide his time and eat some vegan pizza. Thankfully, his friend offered to introduce him and Streep.
“I couldn’t believe I was meeting Meryl Streep with Paul McCartney’s vegan pizza in my mouth,” Butler confessed.
He was then pulled into a circle of people he couldn’t pass the opportunity to spend time with. Butler was invited to “have tacos with Snoop Dogg and Robert De Niro.”
“I dropped everything I was doing and I was there in a heartbeat,” he told Kimmel.
Another crazy conversation Butler had was with Bruce Springsteen. The 74-year-old recounted a time when he was fearless, hopping the fence at Graceland to sing Elvis Presley a song.
Butler had heard rumors that Springsteen had done that but wasn’t sure it was true until he confirmed. Of course, Presley wasn’t there when Springsteen approached his front door.
