The Spice Girls talk about eating disorders

The Spice Girls have recently opened up about the pain caused by Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) and Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice)’s eating disorders. Geri and Mel C have both developed bulimia during the nineties, when the Spice Girls were wildly successful.
And although remaining band members Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Victoria Beckham knew the girls were unwell, they admit the issue was never discussed.
Chisholm explains on a recent TV documentary about the reformed British girl band, “My biggest, biggest fear and it made me feel nauseous just thinking about it was that the papers were going to say I’d put on weight.. “All through the Spice Girls I was terribly in control of what I was eating. I wasn’t eating properly and I was over exercising. I was very skinny. I found having an eating disorder really embarrassing.”
Mel B concedes, “Even though we were that close there were certain things you just don’t talk about unless you feel there’s a window in there.”
And Victoria adds: “I feel ashamed of myself that I didn’t give Melanie C more time. I didn’t realise she had issues that she had.” [Source]
