Several members of the Spice Girls were left ‘furious’ this week after unflattering details from a conversation emerged in court documents, according to reports.
Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton are said to have been left red-faced after a private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case.
According to The Sun, Mel B told her bandmates Geri and Emma that ‘charity doesn’t pay the bills’, during an apparent discussion about reuniting for a gig.
The publication reported that the leaked messages – which were revealed as part of a defamation case in the United States on Wednesday – has 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.
The move came just months after the group lauded ‘girl power’ and reunited as a five-piece at the London Olympics closing ceremony.
It has also been reported that they called in legal assistance in case Victoria tried to stop them from going ahead with a potential tour.
Years later, Mel B, Geri and Emma are said to have planned a comeback – which never happened – without Victoria and Mel C.
It is awkward timing for the group, who now on seemingly good terms after recently celebrating Victoria’s 50th birthday together at her party in London.

Hopefully the emergence of a group chat between Geri, Emma and Mel B won’t cause any tension between the pals.
The report claims that after Mel commented that ‘charity doesn’t pay’, Geri told her that she ‘hopes nobody ever hacks your texts’.
Mel allegedly responded: ‘Why? My texts are fine,’ before adding: ‘Like I said charity doesn’t pay the bills everyone knows that.’
The source said: ‘This is highly embarrassing for the girls as it doesn’t exactly chime with their core messages. But obviously it was a fair few years ago now and they’ve all kissed and made up since then.
‘Just look at how happy they were together celebrating Victoria’s 50th birthday back in April, belting out their greatest hits together after a few drinks. The hatchet is well and truly buried.’
MailOnline contacted a representative for the Spice Girls for comment.
