Mel B isn’t giving her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar the time of day after he hit out at David Beckham.
On Wednesday, Jimmy took to Instagram to accuse former footballer David Beckham of having ‘memory loss’ in a post which Mel is fearful could affect her relationship with Victoria.
Spice Girls star Mel, 50, was married to the dancer from 1998 to 2000, with the pair sharing daughter Phoenix Chi together.
He ranted: ‘David Beckham it’s your old pal Jimmy Gulzar here, tell me, when are you gonna tell people the truth? Or… should I perhaps?’
Two hours later he added: ‘David are you suffering from severe memorie [sic] loss, Or is it something else? Tell the truth!
‘Or did you just woke up one day and waved your magic want [sic] and poeff’.
After the posts were shared, a source told Metro: ‘Mel doesn’t want Jimmy’s rant to affect her relationship with the Beckhams. Her friendship with Victoria is important to her.
‘She doesn’t understand what kind of secret Jimmy thinks he’s holding and she’s angry he’s hinted at a big revelation. Mel is in a newlywed bubble so isn’t giving his remarks the time of day.’
Jimmy seemingly confirmed his issue with David ‘isn’t money related’, replying to one comment: ‘money ? Where ? How ? Insta ? Pfff go check your self before you speak’.
Another wrote: ‘You’ve had decades to speak your truth. Strange timing,’ as Jimmy replied: ‘I can say the same thing , David had decades to tell the truth , why didn’t he?’
Jimmy and Mel met during the girl group’s whirlwind Spice World tour in 1998, with the pair marrying soon after.
They split in 2000 and Mel later welcomed daughter Angel Iris with actor Eddie Murphy.
The singer tied the knot with husband Rory McPhee in a star-studded ceremony in July this year.
The newlyweds exchanged vows at St Paul’s Cathedral in London with Mel having announced her engagement to the hairdresser in October 2022.
Her former bandmate Emma Bunton, known as Baby Spice, attended with her partner, Jade Jones, and son, Beau.
Other famous pals donning their finery for the grand occasion included Katherine Ryan, Alan Carr, Angellica Bell, Daisy Lowe, Cara Delevingne, and Gaby Roslin.
Mel B and David Beckham’s representatives declined to comment when contacted by Metro.
