Mel C recently shared her views on parenting in an interview with The Sunday Times. She disclosed that she made the “conscious decision” to keep her daughter, Scarlett, away from the spotlight. Without taking any names, the singer said she has friends with a very different parenting style.
Although no names were mentioned, rumors quickly arose that she was referring to her “Spice Girls” bandmate, Victoria Beckham. The fashion designer was reportedly very “livid,” as well as “hurt and embarrassed,” by Mel C’s remarks.

Brooklyn Beckham’s latest accusations have allegedly left Victoria Beckham feeling very hurt. Brooklyn alleged that his mother tried to “hijack” his wedding dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz. Days after he shared his sentiments in a lengthy post on Instagram, Mel C made a remark on parenting. Fans suggested that it referred to her bandmate, Victoria.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, she was asked if her daughter, Scarlet, would follow in her footsteps into the music industry. To this, Mel C shook her head, saying her 16-year-old daughter is not planning to join the music industry.
Talking about her parenting journey, she said that she made a decision to keep her daughter out of the public eye. The songwriter said, “It’s so hard to be in the shadow of a parent who’s had success. The thing is, with Scarlet, she’s not in the public eye. I made that conscious decision when she was a baby.”
Mel C further added, “Obviously, I have friends who handle it very differently, each to their own, no judgment at all. But for me, probably because of my experiences with fame, I didn’t feel comfortable making that decision for her.”
As soon as the remark was made, fans started suggesting that this was in reference to the ongoing Beckham family feud. Rob Shuter of #ShuterScoop reported that Victoria felt “livid” after the comment was made. A source said, “Victoria took it as judgment — public judgment — during one of the most painful moments of her life.” Another insider revealed that Victoria is not one to hold any grudges. Even though no names were taken, sources say that her statement has not only hurt her emotionally but also “embarrassed her professionally.”
