Netflix is interested in aSpice Girlsdocumentary, but pulling back the curtain might just be "too much" for certain members.
Melanie "Mel B" Brown, a.k.a. Scary Spice, seemingly confirmed the rumors that the streaming platform had approached the iconic 1990s girl group — and she hinted at what's potentially holding up the project.
"I think we've all been asked and were all thinking about it at some point," Brown revealed in a new interview withHELLO!. "But it has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest — and not everybody wants to be honest."
Brown doesn't specify who that "not everybody" might be — though the "Girl Power" group's dynamics have always been, well, spicy. Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell abruptly quit the group in 1998 at the height of their success and right in the middle of their first global tour.
A decade later, all five members reunited for a tour across the United States and Europe. But 10 years later, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham did not join the group for their2019 reunion tourin the U.K.
For the 30th anniversary of the group's 1996 debut single, "Wannabe," fansreally reallywanted the Spice Girls to announce a reunion tour. But all hope was recently dashed when both Brown and Melanie "Mel C" Chisholm (a.k.a. "Sporty Spice") publiclydispelled the rumors.
"I can tell you it's not happening," Mel B confirms to HELLO!.

"If it does, it'll be a shock to me, let's put it that way," continued theAmerica's Got Talentjudge. "When I look at that [touring] and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time… I'm 50. You can't be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don't want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50."
But what if the other four Spice Girls did ultimately say they'd be there?
"I honestly don't know," admits Mel B. "I've got a lot of respect and love for those girls. I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for me being part of the Spice Girls. They've done a lot for me as a person and in my life. I've got fond memories, but I don't know if I would want to go back up on stage."
Interestingly, Brown was the lone member of the group not present at the Spice Girls'most recent reunion, when Sporty, Posh, Ginger, and Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton all gathered in February to sing their 1998 ballad "Viva Forever" with Beckham's son Cruz on acoustic guitar.
Despite the ups and downs of the quintet's 30-year friendship, it will always be "Viva Forever," says Mel B.

"I can't even begin to tell you what our bond is — it's just something that will always be there," she tells HELLO!. "We're like family; our umbilical cords are all tied together."
