Melanie Blatt, a member of the pop group All Saints, has recently expressed feelings of shame associated with her time in the band, describing her relationship with her bandmates as 'difficult'. Blatt reflected on the challenges within the group dynamic, admitting that by the end of their run, the band members had developed deep-seated animosities, famously stating that they 'hated each other'. Despite the personal conflicts, she acknowledges that they did not compromise their integrity by continuing together just for financial gain.

The band, which included Blatt alongside sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton and Shaznay Lewis, achieved significant success with two albums before their split in 2001. Blatt suggests that the group might have had the potential for greater success had the interpersonal relationships been more amicable. However, she finds solace in the fact that they chose not to stay together out of obligation, implying a respect for authenticity in their relationships rather than a mere contractual or financial association.

Overall, Blatt’s reflections on her tenure with All Saints reveal both the complexity of navigating personal relationships in a high-pressure environment and the bittersweet recognition of missed opportunities for a lasting collaboration. As she looks back, her feelings of shame perhaps stem from the contrast between the group's commercial success and their personal discord, highlighting the often unseen struggles behind the glamour of pop stardom.
