Mel B ‘Felt Uncomfortable’ For Bradley Cooper’s Girlfriend During Oscars Duet

While many folks around the world were impressed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s performance at the Oscars, former Spice Girl Mel B wasn’t. 

The Spice Girls singer criticized Gaga and Bradley during Good Morning Britain’s Academy Awards telecast, explaining that she couldn’t help but think about his girlfriend, Irina Shayk, the whole time. Irina shares 1-year-old daughter Lea De Seine with Bradley, and was sitting in the front row as Gaga and Bradley sang their show-stealing duet. 

The two costars and on-screen lovers shared a piano bench at the number’s conclusion, singing a stripped-down take on the track cheek-to-cheek before affectionately gazing into each other’s eyes. 

“I felt so uncomfortable for Bradley’s girlfriend, oh my gosh,” Mel B recalled of the moment, according to video captured by The Sun. Agreeing that the duo had “the look of love,” Mel B hoped that the energy between the two was just for show. “I would like to think it was part of the whole performance, because there’s a women’s code and hopefully that’s not… hopefully it’s only professional.”
