Mel C says an argument with Victoria Beckham nearly got her kicked out of Spice Girls

Mel C says she and Victoria Beckham had a heated clash in 1996 that nearly led to her being removed from the Spice Girls. The singer, one of the band’s original members alongside Victoria, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Emma Bunton, describes a dispute over the band’s hair at the 1996 BRIT Awards. According to the accounts, Mel C told Victoria to “f**k off” during the argument, and the confrontation “jeopardized” her position in the group. Multiple outlets report that the incident left other bandmates displeased, though the exact details of the aftermath vary in emphasis. The reporting is framed around recent comments by Mel C and revisits earlier claims about tensions within the group, challenging the band’s public “best friends” image. The sources describe the incident as part of broader infighting narratives that emerged over time as Spice Girls members discussed their experiences working together.
