One of Britain's biggest-selling newspapers said internal quarreling had become so bad that the four Spices in the hit "girl power" band—Mel B, Mel C, Emma B and "Posh Spice" Victoria Beckham-would not even meet up as a group. "The girls haven't actually sat down together and decided the band is over because some of them are not on speaking terms with the others." The newspaper quoted an "insider" as saying, "There is a Spice Girl company, but that's only a shell."
英国一家最畅销的报纸说，曾经红极一时的“女孩势力”组合由于其成员梅尔B、梅尔C、艾玛和“辣女”维多利亚·贝克汉姆之间内讧不断，而变得七零八落了。这家报纸引用一位“消息灵通人士"的话说：“这些辣妹因为彼此不和实际上都没有一起坐下商量‘解散’事宜。尽管‘辣妹’公司仍然存在，但那只不过是一个空壳而已。”
