She might be a big fan of the Barbadian singer but Melanie Chisholm has spoken out about Rihanna’s ‘inappropriate' overtly sexual behaviour.
The former Spice Girl believes that the singer has a responsibility to younger children to protect them, something which she has realised since becoming a mother.
Mel,37, took to Twitter and posted: ‘For the record. I am a big fan of Rihanna, I am also a mother.’
Too sexual: Mel C has spoken out about the over-sexualisation of children and said that
She said: ‘People have to take some responsibility because we’ve got to a point where over-sexualisation of young children has gone too far,’ the Mirror reported.
‘I think music is a big part of that. Women in music, very successful women, are extremely sexual and they have young fans. It is inappropriate.
‘Rihanna has responsibility and although culture’s always changing, it’s changed too much. It needs to be dealt with. It’s reached saturation point, we owe it to our kids to protect them.
‘Rihanna’s free to do as she pleases, of course, but I think her take on the criticism she’s had is interesting.’
Mel, who found fame as Sporty Spice in the most successful girl group of all time, gave birth to her daughter Scarlet Starr in February 2009.
Back in the day: Mel Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham and Melanie Brown, has
remembered that she was criticised for being too sexual when they were performing together
And since then her priorities, and views have changed and she accepts that Rihanna might not understand her viewpoint given that she doesn’t have children of her own.
She told the paper: ‘I love Rihanna, I think she’s a f****** brilliant artist, with great songs, a great record and she looks fantastic... but she’s not a mum. Maybe if she becomes one she’ll feel different. I hope so anyway.’
Mel was no stranger to strutting her stuff in skimpy outfits during her Spice days and were often seen backflipping her way across the stage in cropped tops and tracksuits bottoms.
