In it, a brutally frank Mel B told bandmates Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton that “charity doesn’t pay the bills” when seemingly discussing a reunion gig.
The Sun understands the leaking of those messages, which formed part of a defamation lawsuit filed on Wednesday in the US, has enraged the ’90s pop icons.
And there is likely to be some more rage and red faces over a load of bitchy exchanges kicking around from years ago, before Posh, Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger became best of friends again.
We have been told there is a tranche of catty emails which include Posh being slagged off for the way she behaved at the premiere of the Viva Forever! West End musical on December 11, 2012.
She had arrived late on the night having been stuck in traffic, and then chose to sit separately from the group during the show.
Sources say that did not go down well with Mel B, 49, in particular, and it came just months after the girls reunited as a five-piece for the London Olympics closing ceremony.
And we have been told they also secretly called in lawyers over a potential tour which did not include Victoria Beckham – in case she tried to stop them.
At one point a few years later, fractures between the other three and Victoria and Mel C, both 50, appeared to be at rock bottom – as they plotted a comeback without them.
A source told The Sun one girl even bitched about the financial woes of one of her bandmates to a confidant.
This all comes after Mel B’s group chat with Geri, 51, and Emma, 48, emerged.
Ironically, Geri told Mel after her “charity doesn’t pay” remark that she hopes “nobody ever hacks your texts” – to which Mel said: “Why? My texts are fine,” before adding: “Like I said charity doesn’t pay the bills everyone no’s that.”
Our 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.”
In the world of pop music, drama and tension between bandmates is nothing new. The Spice Girls, iconic ’90s girl group, certainly had their fair share of disagreements and rifts over the years. One particularly heated moment between Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton involved a discussion about a potential reunion gig, with Mel B bluntly stating that “charity doesn’t pay the bills.” This conversation, leaked as part of a defamation lawsuit, caused quite a stir among the former bandmates.But it seems that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Spice Girls’ behind-the-scenes drama. Rumor has it that there are even more catty exchanges and bitchy emails floating around from years past, before the girls patched things up and became close friends again. One incident that reportedly caused tension was Victoria Beckham’s behavior at the premiere of the Viva Forever! West End musical in 2012. Arriving late and choosing to sit separately from the group did not sit well with her bandmates, especially Mel B.There were also talks of a potential Spice Girls tour that did not include Victoria Beckham, leading to concerns that she might try to stop them. At one point, relationships among the group seemed to hit rock bottom, with plans for a comeback without Victoria and Mel C. The tension even led to one bandmate complaining about another’s financial troubles to a friend.The recent leak of Mel B’s chat with Geri and Emma has added fuel to the fire, showing that the wounds from past conflicts may not have fully healed. Despite the embarrassing nature of these revelations, sources say that the Spice Girls have since put their differences aside and reconciled. This was evident when they came together to celebrate Victoria’s 50th birthday earlier this year, singing their greatest hits after burying the hatchet.While the Spice Girls may have had their fair share of ups and downs, it’s clear that their bond as a group is strong enough to withstand even the most challenging moments. Fans can only hope that this latest round of drama will serve as a reminder of the importance of communication and forgiveness among friends. Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing saga, as we continue to bring you the latest news and insights from the world of entertainment.
