Former Spice Girls Manager Reveals Victoria Beckham Felt "Uncomfortable" In The Group

Simon Fuller, the Spice Girls manager between 1995 and 1997, recently spoke at the Business Innovation Awards – where he was the Entrepreneur of the Year honoree – and was very candid about ‘Posh Spice’ revealing that she never really felt like she fit in the group.

He said, “She could sing pretty well, she could dance pretty well, but she always felt uncomfortable….When the Spice Girls broke up, she had a few songs as a solo artist but she wasn’t happy and she said to me, ‘Simon, I just don’t want to do music anymore. What do you think I should do?’”

She obviously went on to do fashion as Simon explained, “?It was one of those things that you get this kind of clarity of vision. I’ve known Victoria since she was eighteen and her passion in life was always clothes. She was called Posh Spice because she always wore the best dresses and she knew everything about clothes. I said, ‘You should be in fashion; you should be a designer.’?”

Simon has stayed close to Victoria throughout the years as he manages her husband David Beckham. He’s a big believer in Victoria’s fashion aspirations,

“I’ve known Victoria since she was 18 and her passion in life was always clothes. She was called Posh Spice because she always wore the best dresses.?….Her company is worth literally hundreds of millions of dollars and there’s no stopping her. She will be – without any doubt – one of the world’s greatest designers in the next few years.”?

To add credence to the story, Beckham told The Telegraph this week that her mic would intentionally be turned off at some Spice Girls shows,  “They used to turn it off and just let the others sing, I got the last laugh – and now my mic is well and truly on, finally.”
