Fans of the Spice Girls are speculating that Geri Halliwell Horner may have excluded Melanie Brown from a social media post commemorating the 30th anniversary of their debut single, “Wannabe.” Geri, aged 53, posted a black and white throwback photo on Instagram to mark the occasion when the song was released in 1996, topping the charts in 37 countries.
In her caption, Geri thanked her fellow Spice Girls, including Victoria Beckham, Mel C, and Emma Bunton, but notably failed to tag Mel B in the post, sparking speculation among fans. Some followers questioned the omission, prompting discussions about potential social media blocks between the two artists.
Despite not following each other on Instagram, Mel B did tag Geri in her own post celebrating the anniversary of “Wannabe.” The group’s dynamics have been under scrutiny, especially after Mel B’s revelation of being excluded from the Spice Girls WhatsApp group due to her suggestions for a reunion.
This incident is not the first social media blunder involving Geri and Mel B. In a previous post for Mel B’s birthday, Geri mistakenly left a personal assistant’s message in the caption before swiftly correcting it. The two artists reportedly had a falling out in 2019, following Mel B’s comments about their past relationship during a TV interview.
Reflecting on their past, Mel C acknowledged the complexity of their friendship, highlighting their outspoken natures and the impact of their disagreements on the group. Despite previous reunions, tensions seem to linger within the Spice Girls, hinting at underlying issues that may hinder future collaborations.
The Mirror has contacted Geri Halliwell Horner for a statement regarding the recent social media speculation.
