Howard Stern’s interview with Emma Bunton resurfaces
An old broadcast of Howard Stern’s 2005 interview with Emma Bunton has resurfaced online and sparked criticism over the radio host’s conduct. The footage, which has been circulating across social platforms, shows Stern subjecting Bunton to a barrage of sexual remarks and intrusive questions during her appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
During the conversation, Stern directly asked Bunton at what age she first got her period, leaving her visibly uncomfortable before she responded. “When did you get your period? How old were you? That’s what everyone talks about,” the host asked. To this, Bunton replied, “I don’t care, I’m not telling you about that. Absolutely not.”
Stern’s questioning grew increasingly invasive as he pressed further about her adolescence. He asked, “I bet when you were young, you started in with boys, right? You were very developed. What age did you develop?”
He went on to make inappropriate comments about her physical appearance, telling her, “You’ve got a hot little body. I can see you girl-on-girl action, I can see you with two guys.” The exchange continued with Stern speculating about her clothing. He suggested she had come to the studio without a bra or underwear, saying, “I feel like you didn’t wear a bra just for me today. I feel like you’re not wearing panties today. It’s turning me on a little bit.” Bunton brushed him off by replying, “Really? Good. That’s nice for you.”
Stern also pressed Bunton about the kind of underwear she was wearing. He said, “What kind of panties – like a thong? Let’s see them. What’s wrong with it? I’m digging it… It’s turning me on a little bit.” The Spice Girl star continued to hold her ground, though the discomfort was evident. The host even mocked her father’s job during the same segment.
