In a dramatic twist to the ongoing celebrity saga, Melanie Brown's ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar has broken his long-standing silence with a scathing commentary on her highly publicised dispute with football legend David Beckham.
The Background: Beckham vs Spice Girls
The controversy erupted following revelations in Beckham's Netflix documentary where the former England captain made disparaging remarks about the Spice Girls' 1997 hit '2 Become 1', describing the track as 'f**king s**t'. This prompted a fierce backlash from Mel B, who defended her band's legacy with characteristic ferocity.
Gulzar's Mocking Intervention
Now, Jimmy Gulzar - who was married to the Scary Spice star from 1998 to 2000 - has entered the fray with what appears to be a thinly-veiled dig at the entire situation. Breaking from his traditionally low-profile existence, Gulzar took to social media with a mocking post that has been interpreted as direct commentary on the Beckham-Brown spat.
'Some people need to get over themselves,' Gulzar wrote in a caption that many believe targeted Beckham's documentary revelations. The timing and context of his statement have led showbiz insiders to conclude this was anything but coincidental.
A Complicated History
The intervention carries particular weight given Gulzar's history with the Spice Girls star. Their whirlwind romance and subsequent marriage produced daughter Phoenix, now 25, but ended in acrimony and a bitter divorce settlement. Gulzar's decision to break his decade-long silence on matters concerning his ex-wife suggests the Beckham comments struck a nerve.
Celebrity Reactions and Fallout
The entertainment world has been buzzing with reactions to Gulzar's unexpected entry into the controversy. While neither Beckham nor Brown has directly responded to his comments, sources close to both camps indicate the remarks haven't gone unnoticed.
Industry commentators suggest Gulzar's decision to speak out after maintaining such a low profile for years adds significant weight to his criticism, positioning him as an unexpected voice in one of this year's most talked-about celebrity disputes.
As the saga continues to unfold, all eyes remain on whether this latest development will prompt further responses from the principal players in this high-profile showbiz drama.
