Spice Girls texts messages exposed
In the private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case Mel B told bandmates Geri and Emma that 'charity doesn't pay the bills', during an apparent discussion about reuniting for a gig, according to The Sun.
The publication reported that the leaked messages - which were revealed as part of a defamation case in the United States - 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 their kids.
According to the publications insider, Victoria's snub did not go down well with Mel B in particular.

Lesbian romps
Another fall out reportedly occurred after Mel B made the explosive claims she had sex with Geri during the height of their fame in the 90s, putting their friendship under strain.

She told Mail On Sunday's Event magazine: 'I texted her on the night I did the Piers Morgan show and explained what he’d said and how I’d answered and she was fine with it.
'The problem was it then got hyped up into a much bigger story, and it didn’t help that we were just about to begin rehearsals [for reunion tour]'.
'It was awkward. We hadn’t been back in the situation of being together every single day, being on stage, rehearsing, getting ourselves back into Spice Girls mode, and then all the headlines about our relationship were thrown into the mix, which was pretty bad timing.'
