Let’s just say things got a little spicy on 'America’s Got Talent' when Mel B decided to take matters into her own hands. During a live episode, the former Spice Girl tossed a glass of water right at her fellow judge, Simon Cowell, after he made a pretty inappropriate comment about her wedding night. Now, if you’ve ever been in front of a live audience and felt like you needed to speak your mind, this was Mel’s way of saying, “Not cool, Simon.”

Here’s the deal: Simon was critiquing escape artist Demian Aditya’s performance when he quipped, “I kind of think it will be like Mel B’s wedding night. A lot of anticipation, not much promise.” Oof. That’s where Mel drew the line. She wasn’t having it. The singer, who is currently going through a bitter divorce with her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte—whom she has accused of domestic violence—was clearly not in the mood for jokes at her expense.

What Happened Next?

Let me paint the picture for you. Mel B looked shocked, grabbed a cup of water, and hurled it straight at Simon. Boom. That’s how you make a statement on live TV. After that, she stormed off the panel, leaving the rest of the judges and the audience in awe. Heidi Klum, always the supportive friend, followed her offstage to check on her. It was a moment that will go down in TV history, folks.

Host Tyra Banks tried to lighten the mood by saying, “Mel B is out. This is live TV, all. Live TV.” Meanwhile, Howie Mandel, ever the awkward comic relief, chimed in with, “Something just went wrong.” Eventually, Mel came back to the set, but it seemed like she had ripped her dress in all the commotion. Talk about drama!

But Wait, There’s More...

Just last month, some pretty surprising documents came out showing that Mel B has to pay her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte $40,000 a month in spousal support, despite her claims of domestic violence. Judge Lawrence Riff also ordered her to pay $140,000 in legal fees to Stephen. These payments will continue until an evidentiary hearing in September, where Mel hopes to prove that Stephen was abusive—a claim he denies.

Now, here’s the kicker. The judge overseeing the case, Judge Riff, had some pretty strong words about Mel and Stephen’s financial situation. He said they had been living way beyond their means and had a history of not paying taxes on time. He wasn’t impressed with their spending habits either, calling out the $20,000 a month they spend on childcare and the $4,493 a month they blow on dining out. Judge Riff questioned why they hadn’t gotten rid of one big expense that could’ve been easily mitigated. It seems like both parties have some explaining to do.
