Mel B has branded Howard Stern "inappropriate" for questioning her judging abilities.
The 38-year-old former Spice Girls singer sits on the judging panel alongside the TV personality on 'America's Got Talent' and though they now get on well, Mel was left speechless when she heard audio footage of his initial thoughts of her joining the panel.
Recalling when he first heard she was joining the show, Howard said: "At first I was like 'What kind of choice was that?', Mel B, Scary Spice, wasn't she on 'Dancing With The Stars'? I was like, 'Who cares about the Spice Girls and who cares?' I saw a piece of tape of her, she's on 'X Factor' Australia, my first reaction was I don't even know her."
After hearing the audio clip, Mel B said: "What can you say to that, that was kind of inappropriate."
Since they've been working together, Mel and Howard have bonded and she's even friends with his wife Beth Ostrosky.
Talking abut how she's warmed to him, Mel said on 2Day FM's 'Jules, Merrick and Sophie with Mel B' show: "Well, I've been working with him solid for two years and I'm good friends with his wife."

Jessica Chastain celebrated her birthday with karaoke and ping pong.
The 'Zero Dark Thirty' actress turns 37 today (24.03.14) and marked the occasion over the weekend with friends including her 'Crimson Peak' co-star Tom Hiddleston.
Sharing a selection of pictures on her Facebook page from the evening, she wrote: "Hello lovelies, My friends have traveled to Toronto to begin the Birthday festivities.
"There was a delicious dinner at Brassaii, ping pong matches, crazy dancing, and karaoke.
"The past few years has been so wonderful and full of work that I sometimes feel like I live on a film set."
The 'Interstellar' star loved catching up with her loved ones, and said the weekend gave her a "reminder" of the important things in life.
She added: "It was great to spend time with my nearest and dearest. It's a reminder of what's important in life."
Though Jessica spends a lot of her time working, she doesn't mind being busy and recently spoke of how "lucky" she felt after completing work on 'A Most Violent Year'.
She said: "Working with talent like JC Chandor and Oscar Isaac are the reason I love my job. I'm a very lucky girl."

Jennifer Lopez will receive the Vanguard Award at the GLAAD Media Awards.
The singer-and-actress will be presented with the honour, which is given to "artists and media professionals who, through their work, have increased the visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community" at a ceremony in Los Angeles next month, and one of the reasons she was chosen for the accolade by the gay rights organisation is her role as producer on 'The Fosters', a TV series about a lesbian couple raising a family of biological, adopted and foster children.
Sarah Kate Ellis, president of GLAAD, said: "Through her work to bring 'The Fosters' to life and by consistently speaking out as a powerful ally, Jennifer Lopez has not only sent a message of acceptance to LGBT adults and young people, but inspired new support for our community among her many fans around the globe.
"Family is about love, and that's a message Jennifer has shared with millions through her groundbreaking work on 'The Fosters'."
Jennifer - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with third husband Marc Anthony - is a big supporter of marriage equality.
She said: "When it comes to gay marriage, I just believe in love," she said. "I believe that when two people find each other and love each other, they should be able to spend their lives together with all the same benefits and privileges as everyone."
Previous recipients of the Vanguard Award include Josh Hutcherson, Janet Jackson, Drew Barrymoore, Antonio Banderas, Kristin Chenoweth, Whoopi Goldberg, Eric McCormack, Liza Minnelli, Sharon Stone and Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
The 25th annual GLAAD Media Awards take place April 12 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Coldplay's Guy Berryman has got engaged.
The 35-year-old bassist reportedly popped the question to his Dutch beau Keshia Gerrits, 23, last month after dating her for two years.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They're really loved-up and are already ­planning to get married in a secret London location."
Guy's bandmates - Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion - will be attending the wedding along with their partners, but Guy and Keshia are keen for their romantic ceremony to be a small affair, with just close friends and immediate family present.
The source explained: "Of course Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow will be there, as will the rest of the band and a selection of close friends from the group's intimate circle."
The pair first sparked rumours they had got engaged after Keshia posted a picture on her Twitter account of a diamond sparkler on her ring finger last month.
Meanwhile, this won't be Guy's first marriage as he previously married his childhood sweetheart Joanna in 2004, before the pair split in 2007 and later divorced.
The former couple remain on good terms and have seven-year-old daughter Nico together.

Paula Patton is still considering her future with Robin Thicke.
The 'Baggage Claim' actress split from the 'Blurred Lines' singer last month, and though she was reportedly having second thoughts about filing for divorce, insiders say she has yet to decide whether to give her spouse of eight years - with who she has three-year-old son Julian - another chance.
According to gossip website TMZ, Paula is "spending a lot of time thinking" about her marriage, but is yet to feel convinced by Robin's efforts to prove he can be a good husband.
It was recently claimed the 38-year-old actress had told Robin, 36, to stop trying to win her back with gifts.
A source said: "She's insulted that he thinks he can win her back with pricey gifts. He knows what it's going to take, and it's nothing he can buy with money."
And the 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' star is said to be unhappy with Robin's public declarations of love for her.
He told his audience at a recent gig in New York's Madison Square Garden: "When there's someone you love, you gotta fight for them no matter what."
And days earlier, he said during a concert in Atlantic City: "Never stop believing and you never stop loving. And even if it is over, make sure you treat each other right. Treat your family right. Take care of your mom, take care of your kids and good things will come to you. Just keep believing that God is good.
"That's what gets me by. Sometimes when I get a little scared or worried about the future, I just try to stay positive and do my part to spread love and spread joy."
Though the couple insisted their split was mutual when they announced their separation, it has subsequently been reported that Paula told her spouse she wanted a divorce and Robin did everything he could to get her to change her mind.

Ed Sheeran did housework to stay at Courteney Cox's Malibu beach house rent free.
The 'Drunk' singer lived in the 'Cougar Town' star's holiday home for several months last year and while he didn't have to pay his famous landlady for her hospitality, he made sure he helped out around the home and made tea for the actress.
He told The Sun newspaper: "There was no rent but I made the bed and cups of tea and things like that.
"If you're staying at your friend's house, you should treat it like your own.
"Well, actually, that's a lie - because I don't make my own bed at home."
The 23-year-old singer also set Courteney up with his pal Johnny McDaid, Snow Patrol's piano player and guitarist, after the pair met up in October.
And he confirmed the loved-up couple are happy together but there might not be wedding bells just yet.
Ed continued: "I'm not sure about buying a hat yet, who knows?
"But I will say I've never seen either of them happier. It's great to see people you love in love."
Ed has returned to the UK after writing and recording his upcoming second album in the US and he teased a possible release date for the follow-up to his 2011 debut '+' on Twitter.
He posted: "7/4/14 (sic)", which could have meant either April 7 in the UK or July 4 in the States.
Ed clarified: "All the Yanks think it's July 4. It's actually April 7, but that's not the date the album is coming out, it's just the day things start to happen."
The singer-songwriter is kicking off the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs today (24.03.14) at the Royal Albert Hall and has promised the show will be his "last ever" set featuring mainly tracks from his first album.
He added: "I'm going to do an old album set. It will be the last ever gig I do that one. Fans don't want to have two hours of new material, but there will be a couple of new ones."

Katie Price is planning to embark on a 300-mile charity bike ride.
The former glamour model undertook a 25-mile ride at the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Games at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London yesterday (23.03.14) and enjoyed the challenge so much, she has her sights set on a tougher task in the future.
She tweeted: "really enjoyed 25 miles today for sport relief! my next challenge for charity is a 300 mile bike ride!! (sic)"
However, Katie - who was joined at the Sport Relief games by husband Kieran Hayler - may find her next trek tough on her as the 35-year-old beauty admitted to feeling some discomfort after yesterday's ride.
She tweeted: "Woo my bike was amazing from @chainreaction I did and completed 25 mile bike ride for sports relief woooo sore bum lol (sic)".
Katie - who has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships and Jett, seven months, with Kieran - is no stranger to sporting challenges for charity.
In 2009, then-husband Peter Andre had to help her over the finish line at the London marathon - which she completed in seven hours and eleven minutes - as she experienced problems with her knees during that race.
She also had places in the same 26-mile event the following two years but had to pull out because of the ongoing problems with her joints.
In 2012, the 35-year-old star completed the Brighton half marathon in aid of The Vision in 2012, but was left in agony when both knees "gave out" during the race.

Stacy Keibler's family thinks her new husband Jared Pobre is made for her.
The wrestler-turned-actress tied the knot with the businessman in a surprise beachside ceremony in Mexico earlier this month, and despite the couple keeping their nuptials a secret from family and friends until the last minute - planning the getaway under the guise of a family holiday - their loved ones weren't shocked since they knew Stacey and Jared were destined for each other.
The 34-year-old star told Britain HELLO! magazine: "Our families were so happy but not too stunned. I think our moms figured it would happen, as they said we were made for each other and a 'match made in heaven'. My dad hugged Jared and told him how happy he was and how he has never seen me happier. He commented on how well we complement each other."
Because the wedding was such a surprise, Stacy admits planning the celebration was a "challenge".
She said: "It was most challenging for us to pull off everything. Trying to pull together the most important time of your life while also making it a surprise to our guests was quite a challenge."
Stacy - who split from George Clooney last year - was overwhelmed by the tasteful and spiritual ceremony in Punta Mita, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
She recalled: "My mom tells me that I always said I'd be married barefoot on a beach. I've always been inspired by being by the water. The ceremony itself was very romantic and our officiant was so special in her spiritual approach.
"We couldn't have asked for a more loving and wonderful day. Saying our vows to one another was definitely my most cherished part."
Meanwhile, Jared was blown away by his beautiful bride, who stunned in a lace and chiffon Monique Lhuillier gown with a plunging back.
He added: "She looked so beautiful it was surreal. It was impossible not to smile."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reportedly rejected a charity donation to settle their lawsuit over leaked engagement footage.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star and her rapper fiance - who have nine-month-old daughter North together - are suing Chad Hurley for putting unauthorised footage of the 'Bound 2' star's lavish proposal online and the YouTube co-founder is said to have had an offer to settle the case out of court rejected as the couple want any money to go directly to them.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Chad wanted to make a donation to a charity just to make it go away.
"But Kim and Kanye didn't want the money to go to a charity, they want it to go directly to them."
Earlier this month, the couple filed a motion to quash Hurley's attempt to have the case dismissed on constitutional grounds - claiming it violated his rights to free speech - stating they "generally object to the entirety" of the tech entrepreneur's argument, and though the judge ruled in their favour, insiders say the MixBit founder still doesn't believe he has done anything wrong.
The source added: "Chad really doesn't think he did anything wrong."
Hurley - who posted a blurry 150-second video of the extravagant proposal at San Francisco's AT&T Park stadium on MixBit - had also argued he wasn't informed he wasn't allowed to film or distribute the footage, but when ruling the case could go ahead, the judge noted that the word 'CONFIDENTIALITY' could be seen clearly on a document he signed when entering the stadium.
The couple are seeking unspecified damages against Hurley and his company Avos Systems Inc.
