Victoria Beckham attempted to shut down a contentious question about the Spice Girls by rather unintentionally insulting each of her old bandmates.
Posh has recently been opening up to fans about her private life, particularly with her recent Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, about her confidence, how she is seen by the public, and life after the Spice Girls.
In the documentary, the 51-year-old finally addressed one of the internet’s longest-running mysteries: why she often looks ‘miserable’ or ‘moody’ in public - and no, it’s not because she hates being photographed.
And just yesterday (20 December), appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the fashion designer and former pop star was asked to rank the iconic girl group by their dancing skills, but instead of playing along, Beckham delivered a blunt and unexpected answer.

The host asked: "Victoria, rank the Spice Girls on their dancing skills - you, Mel B, Mel C, Emma and Geri."
Rather than throwing just one mate under the bus, she managed to savagely push them all in front of it - alongside herself!
She replied: "Okay, none of us - and I said this in the documentary - were that great at anything we just worked together, we worked really well together. We were, we were all underdogs who collectively were really good - we were really good."
Ouch, what a backhanded compliment - savage!
Fasn were quick defend her, praising the notoriously sarcastic star.
While some took this as shade, one Reddit user said: "These comments are hilarious.
"She made the most non-ego response that doesn't single out or put one member above or below another and people still find a way to s**t on her."
"I feel like the Spice Girls are one of the few good examples of something 'manufactured' being good", another wrote. "They found their place with the 'girl power' and 'friendship' and just having fun and it worked. Like I don’t remember anyone trying to convince the world that any of them were once in a lifetime vocalists or songwriters. It was just fun."
The star also previously admitted in a candid confession that her confidence took a serious hit after the Spice Girls split and her solo career didn’t quite take off the way she’d hoped.
"When people are mean and you’re hearing things and you’re seeing things and you’re constantly made to feel you’re not good enough, that really hurts," she said, before joking: "People thought I was a miserable cow that never smiled and they’re not wrong.”
The Brit's namesake documentary was released back in October, and I'll be the first to say I underestimated how much tea has gone down under the Beckham roof!
