Mel C Shares She Was Sexually Assaulted At A Spa Before Her First Live Spice Girls Concert: "I Didn't Want To Make A Fuss"
The UK pop girl group called Spice Girls was formed in 1994 and consisted of five women who toured the world and became household names. One of the members, Mel C, reveals that she survived a sexual assault just before their first live concert, but she was too scared to tell anyone it happened at the time.
The Spice Girls released hits like "Wannabe" and "Say You'll Be There," eventually selling 100 million records worldwide and becoming the best-selling girl group of all time. Victoria Beckham became the most well-known face from the group, but the others went on to have successful careers of their own. Mel C, who was known as Sporty Spice, came forward in an interview on Elizabeth Day's "How to Fail" podcast to reveal that she was sexually assaulted early on in her Spice Girl career.
