Yesterday on America’s Got Talent, Simon Cowell made a joke that Mel B did not like. So much so, she threw her drink in his face and walked off the stage with Heidi Klum.
What did he say that infuriated her so much? During one of the performances, something went wrong and host Tyra Banks wanted to know how the King of Mean felt about it. He told her, “I reckon this would be like Mel B’s wedding night.” The audience gasped and laughed as Scary Spice’s mouth dropped to the floor. Then she grabbed her drink and threw her water at her boss before walking off on live TV with her co-judge Heidi Klum.
As she was walking off, he continued on with joke. He added, “A lot of anticipation, not much promise or delivery.” The joke hit her hard because in case you did not know, she in the middle of a nasty divorce with her ex.
Was the joke that bad? Not really. Therefore, when AP talked to her after the show, they wanted to know what was going through her mind at that moment. She told them, “I don’t know, he just said something annoying and I threw water on him. Simple as that.” Then when they asked why she walked away, she explained to them, “What else can you do. I am not going to sit there to listen to what else he got to say. Even though he is my boss, I’m the boss!” With that she walked away from the interview like she walked away from Cowell.
The morale of the story, don’t make any jokes about her marriage unless you want to pay the consequences.
