Mel B’s statements in court (via The Blast) may strictly be founded on the grounds her contract on the show is up for renewal, although rumors have circulated in the past year that America’s Got Talent is interested in replacing the former Spice Girl.
Fans may remember the judge had an altercation with her co-star Simon Cowell on camera last season, although that potentially scripted smackdown really only scratches the surface of problems the pop star has had over the past year.
