Looks like Sporty Spice is gonna try to put the kibosh on the whole thing.....
Spice Girls reunion turns nasty with legal threats
THEIR last comeback saw them promise their friendship would never end — but the latest Spice Girls reunion is set to turn very nasty.
The Sun reports that Mel C has threatened legal action against band mates Mel B, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton, who are re-forming the world’s biggest ever girl group for a 21st anniversary spectacular.
The bombshell news comes after Sporty Spice joined Victoria Beckham in refusing to re-join the Wannabe hit makers.
A source close to Mel C revealed: “Mel has told the other girls she is consulting lawyers about whether the reunion can go ahead without her.
“She believes she brought music credibility to the group and there is no Spice Girls without her. The other girls are in regular text and phone contact with her.
“There was talk of using the nickname GEM but they’ve decided against that because the strength is through the Spice brand.â€
I broke the news last year that the Spice Girls were plotting a reunion to celebrate their anniversary but without Posh, who does not want to be involved.
Then I revealed the sad news in April that four had become three after Mel C pulled out of the plans too. It left the Spice comeback hanging by a thread, with just Geri, Emma and Mel B left to carry on the mantle.
But last month I told how the trio are powering on and have booked a date at Hyde Park for a massive concert next July.
All was going swimmingly — until now.
Fortunately, I’m told Geri, Emma and Mel B are carrying on with their idea.
My source said: “The girls are pressing ahead with their reunion plans as they were before.†Mel B recently confirmed herself that the Spice Girls brand is alive and well.
She said on US TV: “We are always going to be Spice Girls. We are definitely going to be doing some concerts.â€
Luckily, Mel C is the only one causing them a headache.
Despite her point-blank refusal to take part in the reunion, Posh has given her blessing for the rest of the girls to go ahead.
The source added: “Victoria has told the girls to go for it.
“She’s been really lovely and supportive, which has been a relief to them.â€
Geri, Emma and Mel B’s reunion plans are well under way.
They have a top manager on board in Joyce Smith, the lawyer behind the historic Rolling Stones gig in Cuba this year, and have been working in the studio on new music.
Let’s hope there’s a happy ending.
