Geri Halliwell has cancelled a… Spice Girls returns as things get tense between her and Mel B.
The all-girl pop band, once an icon of the 90s, officially disbanded in February 2001, after releasing their last album, Foreverin 2000 with the departure of Victoria Beckham.
The band persisted in returning over the years, but their last official performance was in 2012 at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.
From then on, it has only been announcements and plans that never materialised in light of Mel B's endless controversies, who has targeted band member Geri Halliwell on numerous occasions, including but not limited to accusations against Halliwell's Formula One boss husband Christian Horner of inappropriate behaviour with a female assistant, Haliwell “lying about her age” and claims of a sexual relationship between her and Halliwell during an interview with Piers Morgan.
Halliwell denied the affair and accused Mel B of making it up to promote her memoir. Brutally honest.
Now according to Daily MailThe reunion will not take place as Halliwell, also known as Ginger Spice, is said to be fed up with the “teasing and comments” allegedly made by Scary Spice.
“Geri has had enough to deal with after all the drama with her husband's relationship with his assistant – it's been a pretty tough time, and she's just lost patience with Mel and his little taunts and comments,” a source told the outlet.
“She’s moved away and without Geri it’s not really going to happen. In the past she’s been a driving force in the group but she doesn’t want to deal with Mel at all right now, let alone share the stage with her.”
The source added: “They always had a complicated relationship but this has become very complicated now and no one has been able to work things out between them so it’s all over again.”
The change of plans comes just a week after Mel B paid tribute to Halliwell on her Instagram Story with further jibes at Halliwell, referring to her as a 75-year-old woman.
Before that, the two reunited at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party in London in April.
A fountain poured it out The sun“Mel tried to patch things up with Geri at the party, but it didn’t go as planned.”
“She was laughing it off, but Geri didn't seem interested in hearing what she had to say and walked away,” the source revealed.
Mel and Geri even avoided being together in group photos.
“When it came time to take the group photo, Geri stayed as far away from Mel as possible, which was awkward to watch,” the source confessed, adding that “Geri wanted to be there to celebrate Victoria and laugh with everyone, not talk to Mel about the embarrassing things he said about her.”
According to MirrorMel B also has ongoing drama with her ex Stephen Belafonte, who filed a $5 million defamation lawsuit this year and submitted a voice recording in court in July as evidence against her.
