The ambitious plans for a Spice Girls reunion have hit a snag as fans recently learned. While Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration brought the members together, fueling reunion hopes, Geri Horner has reportedly declined participation in a documentary celebrating the iconic group’s 30th anniversary.
Contrary to previous situations where Victoria Beckham was the expected absentee, this time Geri is causing the upheaval regarding anniversary plans with her reluctance to engage in filming a documentary about the influential ‘girl power‘ band.
The anticipated five-piece reunion for a Netflix show—following the success of Victoria and David Beckham’s own series—hangs in the balance. The Daily Mail reports that all members except Geri were enthusiastic to move forward. It suggests hesitancy from Geri’s end may stem from a rocky period in her marriage to F1 head Christian Horner.
Despite Red Bull exonerating Horner of allegations made by a female employee, the cloud still seems to loom—particularly as the former employee now seeks appeal against the company’s decision.
Inside sources speculate, “This association with her husband’s controversy could taint Geri’s willingness to endorse Girl Power publicly. Before this situation, she seemed reluctant about the idea of revisiting her heyday with the Spice Girls.”
The documentation of the Spice Girls joyously performing at Victoria’s extravagant birthday bash, alongside an illustrious guest list, suggested all was well within the group.
Nevertheless, no amount of luxury—including thousands spent on wines, a private chef’s cuisine, and lavish entertainment—may be enough to see a complete reunion documentary come to fruition without Geri’s participation.
Geri’s withdrawal thus casts a shadow over what could be a monumental celebration of 30 years of Spice Girls legacy and influence.
