Netflix has reportedly given the Spice Girls an ultimatum amid their disagreement and conflict surrounding the highly anticipated TV biopic.
The potential earnings of each of the five members could be as much as $1.2 million, adding to tensions within the group.
The UK Sun revealed the streaming platform intervened when Geri Horner pulled out of the project, leaving behind Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton.
The streaming giant has reportedly instructed the ’90s girl group to reconcile or risk producing the show without their involvement, similar to how “The Crown” series was created without input from real-life subjects.
An insider shared: “Executives want all the team on board to provide as much input as possible – after all, they are pop royalty.”
“But Netflix is the organization that defied the wishes of the actual royal family and went ahead to create The Crown, so they’re not afraid to go it alone when they have to.”
They continued: “The project is in its early stages so there’s plenty of time for all five Spice Girls to get involved.”
The “Spice Up Your Life” hitmakers have all been contacted about a TV series that promises significant financial rewards.
Sources claim that discussions were going smoothly until Geri decided to withdraw from the joint venture.
After extensive discussions within the group about upcoming tour dates and contacting Posh Spice for a potential guest appearance, excitement grew among the band members to re-enact winning in their previous performances.
However, it was revealed that the deep conflict between Geri and Mel B, who were previously inseparable and rumored to have been briefly romantically involved, has caused a significant rift within the group . Because of this, Geri decided to break up completely.
According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail in August, “Geri has had enough to deal with after all the drama regarding her husband’s relationship with his assistant – it’s been a while.” Times are hard enough – and she’s lost patience with Mel and her.” little digs and jibes.”
“She’s gone and without Geri it really wouldn’t have happened – before she was the driving force in the group, but she doesn’t want to deal with Mel at the moment let alone stand together stage with her.”
Mel B playfully teased his supposed old friend “Happy 75th Birthday” online, accompanied by a collection of racy snaps from their younger days. The gesture appeared to be a subtle nod to Geri’s previous comments about lying about her age.
“They’ve always had a difficult relationship but now things have become very messy and no one can make things right between them – so it’s over again.”
