Thank you.
We’re including the full recording of the encounter, so you can find out for yourselves, but, basically, the Sun report is factually correct: Mel B went into a kind of hyper ranted on Howard Stern’s radio show last week and the obscenities went flying between herself and her co-judge on America’s Got Talent, comedian Howy Mandel.
Start listening around minute 29. Howard asks about the chances of a Spice Girl reunion.
The former Spice Girls star and Howie Mandel sat down for a chat with Stern to promote America’s Got Talent.
Stern was asking about a possible reunion of the Spice Girls, when Mandel asked if the holdback was Victoria Beckham, to which Mel B responded: “Why are you being such a bitch today?”
Howie was kind of stunned. Things had been so nice and friendly up to that point…
So Mandel insisted, suggesting “Posh Spice” Beckham had sworn off the band for good.
“Didn’t she say that, I’ve had it…?” Mandel was saying.
“Stop being a bitch, ” Mel B retorted. “Don’t believe everything that you read, bitch.”
“Why are you calling me a bitch?”
“Think, bitch.”
“Stop calling me a bitch, ” said Mandel. “I’m gonna’ call you something.”
He then asked permission to use the C word on the air. Howard Stern approved, and Mandel uttered the immortal statement: “Mel B is a cunt.”
This was obviously not the Oxford University debating society we normally expect on the Howard Stern show.
This was followed by a prolonged discussion of whether or not she is, indeed, that.
Then the two of them, Mandel and mel B, exchanged the B and C words a few times.
I know it’s horrible stuff, I know I shouldn’t be reporting this, I know it only encourages more crap like this on the air, but what can I do? I can’t stop writing, just like you can’t stop reading, and probably listening.
We’re enclosing the complete show, mostly because we don’t yet have just the clip with the money curses. Just make your way to minute 29, and by minute 32 it’ll be over.
