An Original Spice Girl Bitch Slaps Me

On December 3, 2007 I wrote a story about Lianne Morgan who was one of the original Spice Girls before being replaced by Mel C and all of her feminine charms. The reason given for Lianne's replacement was that she was too old. I then blathered on and did my whole snark thing and moved on to other things. Well, Lianne had something to say about it, and so here is what she wrote to me. Word for word.

I would just like to say how much I enjoyed reading the info about me, very nice. I am very surprised that you are a lawyer, I would have thought that you would be more intelligent than to believe everything you read. The press in this country say what they want and there is nothing that can be done about it. So what I am trying to say is don’t believe what you read. They want me to be bitter as it makes a better read I suppose. I don’t know what interview you are referring to but I have only ever done one interview and that was in 1998 and I was 27. It has been very hard for me as I have been singing since I was 12years old, and when I did the audition for the spice girls my ex boyfriend was with me, he told the press about me being excepted into the group which was touch, the press went crazy and they were writing what they wanted too about me. since 1998 I have just continued to live my life, got married opened a few businesses but what I am at heart is a songwriter and a singer. So just a month ago I realised that the spice girls are hear forever and does that mean that I should not pursue my career. Through fear of the press. I am signed to a management company, but as soon as do any thing the spice girls link just completely takes over and it explodes in my face again. So it is very hurtful to read thousands of nasty comments about me. I am simply someone who is a singer/songwriter I am a mum of two young children and I am getting on with my life. This time I will not be beaten down by the press. What the press don’t write is that I am a Spice Girls fan and I think they are amazing because I knew what there capabilities were, and I can see how they have grown.

I just want you to know that I think I speak for myself and my readers in wishing you the very best of luck with your career and hope you will continue checking in and letting us know how you are doing.

The 5th Beatle She Ain't

Guess, I am not a Spice Girl fanatic. I had no clue there was someone else who had originally been slated to fill the role that Mel C (how is that finding a man thing working for you?) currently fills. Lianne Morgan, who is now 37, was originally hired, but then fired a month later because she was told she was too old. Even though she was the same age as Geri Halliwell at the time, I guess she probably looked more haggish and so they went with that stunner Mel C. instead. In 2002, Lianne gave an interview and said she was 30. Now, five years later she is 37. My math isn't very good, but I'm thinking that she might actually be closer to 50 which is why she seems to be adding years a little faster than the rest of us)

Lianne isn't bitter anyway. "It was like winning a lottery ticket and then having it taken away from me. I'm angry about the way I was treated," Lianne told the Mail On Sunday. (but, even though she was treated like a piece of dog crap she can still put on a good face)

"I wish the girls the best of luck, but I'm still flabbergasted that they were picked in the first place when they can't sing! It's a total injustice. I'm a better singer than all of them. I don't like their new single, and I haven't bought their latest album." ( I wish them all good luck, but they suck, and I wouldn't give them a dime because they can't sing)

However, Lianne added that she has bought tickets to the group's reunion tour and will be in the audience at the 02 Arena in London later this month. (Well, just to make fun of them I am sure and to tell everyone who will listen that she was an original Spice Girl and that she wouldn't have to live in a council house with her mom, dad and six kids if she had been a Spice Girl. Of course everyone will think she's bonkers, and be whispering behind her back)

"I thought they'd be a flash in the pan," she explained. "It just goes to show what you can achieve if you put your mind to it." (Realizing she had sounded like a bit of a bitch, she decides to inspire the children, by saying that if they put their minds to it, they too can be fake singers with fake breasts and make lots of money as long as they look young and sleep with the right people. No, it doesn't actually say that, but you can read it all between the lines. )
