Mel B Reveals Terrifying Details From Her Marriage And Says She ‘Fears For Her Life’
The talent show judge was granted a restraining order by a Los Angeles judge following the claims.
Mel B has claimed that her estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte, was a “monster”, who brutally beat her, forced her into having threesomes with random women, and threatened to release sex tapes if she resisted. TMZ, who reported this update, added that Mel B says she and her children fear for their lives.
The America’s Got Talent judge sought a restraining order from Stephen on Monday, forcing him to stay away from her and her three children. The judge ordered Stephen to leave the family home in the Hollywood Hills immediately, and it’s reported that he packed his belongings and moved out that same day.
Mel B noted in her declaration that her husband had a history of punching her, pushing her to the floor, and locking her into her own bedroom when she tried to call for help. On one occasion, she was so overcome with “emotional and physical exhaustion” that she took an entire bottle of Aspirin. When she tried calling 999, he blocked her, throwing her in the bedroom, locking the door, “telling me to ‘die, bitch!'”
Rumours had circulated throughout their marriage that he had been violent towards her, but this is the first time Mel B has opened up about the alleged abuse. Stephen still denies all allegations.
