Defending Her Man

Filed under: Anglophilia > Mel B.

Mel B is on the attack!

The Spice Girl is upset that pretty much everyone in the whole wide word is questioning her relationship with new husband Stephen Belafonte.

The singer takes to the pages of the new Hello! magazine to set the record straight!

She says:

- "Everything I stand for is about being a strong, independent woman, so for him to be seen as a wife beater is devastating for me because he's not - he never has been."

- "They're trying to make him out to be this aggressive, violent, woman batterer and he's not. If you read those police reports, they never say he physically beat up a woman."

- "The only thing I don't like is that my friends and family read this and go into shock-horror mode, thinking, 'Oh, she's married a psychopath!'."

- "He hasn't been the best of people. I know everything that he's done. He went through group therapy and counselling, but he's fully aware of what he's done."

- "He melted my heart…but I'd been so so hurt. I wanted to make sure that this guy was gentle enough to have me believe again that it is possible."

- "I want to have kids with my new hubby."

- On Eddie Murphy, "Nothing was being done so I had to go to extreme measures and get lawyers, which I never wanted to do. I want sole custody of Angel, like I have with Phoenix, but with father involvement. Emotionally and spirtitually, especially with girls, it's very important for them to know who their dad is."

- "This is a current issue. If I can be one little voice and help, I will say, 'Stop! We made a child together. It's unacceptable behaviour…So how these guys think they can get away with it, I have no idea."

      Okay, maybe police reports do support the fact that Spice's new hubby is not a wife-beater, but what about the outstanding warrant for beating a duck to death??!!

    14. Babymomma Whore says – reply to this


      14

      These bimbos are pathetic - I mean the ones who run around, screwing men, getting pregnant (ever heard of birth control?) and then expect the guy to give a shit and be involved with the baby's life. (1) you shouldn't have a baby with a man who doesn't give a crap enough about you to marry you and (2) you would have thought she would have learned with her first baby, Phoenix.

      Who ends up suffering - the child, who grows up without a father. Feminism should be more about women using their freakin head before making a baby with any old guy. It is selfish to the child who needs TWO involved parents.

      Whatever. First she says she wants sole custody, then she's horrified the father wants to be involved.

      Strong independent woman my ass, she is a money grubbing slut!! She got pregnant on purpose just for the money from Eddie Murphy! Everybody sees that, she can't earn it on her own, she needs someone else to pay her way so she can just sit around and do nothing!

      22

      Mrs. "the police reports don't specifically say he hit a woman" is in for shock when she realizes that the guy IS a nutbar. You don't get his rep. by being a super stand up guy who isn't a fuck face to women, and as far as the "he melted my heart" crap, abusive men are ALWAYS very charming and know exactly what to say. Good luck with your abusive husband, Mel B.

      She was always annoying but you have to respect her for raising her kids on her own. Eddie is an asshole and he should step up and be a man. Denying the relationship and not paying support makes him look like a typical low life black man. The baby is better off without him.

      I love her! I personally wouldn't choose to be with someone like Stephen Whateverhisnameis, but if it makes her happy, and he doesn't cause her any harm…. whatever works for her

      As for the stuff about wanting custody with paternal involvement, I think that depending on who the father is, this is a perfectly good, if somewhat unrealistic, desire to have.

For you to drag Eddie's name through the mud and then to turn around and defend this duck killing, woman beating, con arting, grifter….you simply loose any credibility. You're a freaking fool!!! I can't wait to be reading about your divorce…only this time, your "loving hubby" will be making the statements and taking you to the bank for every dime Eddie Murphy gives your dumb, pathetic arse!!

      She's deluding herself. Why does she ALWAYS jump in feet first, hasn't she heard of dating? Why do you have to be going out with someone for five minutes and then get married to them or have a baby? Really, relationships evolve and change and if they're still together in 2 years time, I'll eat my hat. Especially given his history.

      Of course he's charming and nice– most abusers are. If they were dicks all of the time, they'd never have a wife or girlfriend to beat. It's also how they keep the cycle going– they abuse, and then they charm and apologize, and a dumb woman falls for it (it goes both ways, of course, but this one is specifically about a dumb woman, not a dumb man). I mean, if you have to say "read the police reports" then nuance and interpret them to say "He never physically hit any women" then you're asking for trouble. Just needing to refer to "police reports" while checking up on a new spouse should send up so many red flags… yeesh…

      I hope this guy is good for Mel B and her children I hope she's making the right choice.

      As far as Eddie, Mel B has NEVER said anything bad about Eddie. He brought this slander all on himself, by

      1) Breaking up w/ Mel B and Denying his child on Public TV (that should've been private)…..which is what caused all this in the first place.

      2) He didnt go see the baby when she was born (something he should've done b/c there was a possibility that the baby was his)

      3) after the baby is born he had to FORCED by the courts to take the DNA test.

      4) after paternity was proven, he STILL didnt see his child or send Mel B and $$, only after Mel B got her lawyer Eddie released a statement that he gave Mel B $$.

      A little too late Eddie, I hope Mel B takes him to the cleaners. Her and her baby deserves every penny. EDDIE'S ANOTHER DEADBEAT FATHER!

      This applys to Eddie too. And if a 40yr old man was "tricked" into having a baby, then he deserves to be jacked for child support for being soo damn stupid. And Mel B's was married to her first child's father, who is still involved in his daughter's life……so what "habit" are you talking about

      Eddie has never said anything bad about that skank ho. Eddie has always said if the baby is proved to be his by dna testing, he would support the baby, and that is exactly what he is doing.

      Phycho Spice is the one who has been doing the marathon talk show and tabloid blitz. She has nothing going for her talentless life, so she snagged the spotlight by getting pregnant by a high profile man who considered her just a BOOTY CALL.

      eddie however, is a tranny lovin' fake hiding his homosexuality behind women. He needs to have ANY woman by his side to quiet down the gossip about him. Although, no one believes he is straight…and the bitch he is dating now just wants a free ride on his dime…she'd be willing to fuck a cucumber if she tought it had money.

      Let see she is married now, but she wanted Eddie to buy a $9 million dollar mansion for her and the baby and her husband and other child to live in and wanted him to pay for the up keep etc. for 18yrs. The word EXTORTION does come to mind. Now you say you want Eddie to be in the baby's life, how can he do that when you Mel B is trying your best to make him look bad in the public's eye? Hell, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you either, especially when you know he did $$$ for medical expenses and child support. You make it impossible to get along with you, and be in the same room with you trying to make things work.

      Ayanna, you must be just just as stupid the crazy broad were posting about. Men do what they want. No man wants a dumb acting fool for a woman. EDDIE PAID FOR MEL B'S ENTIRE PREGNANCY BILLS AND IT'S HIS RIGHT TO QUESTION THE PATERNITY. You don't know if Eddie saw the baby or not. You're only going by what that gold-digger said. Keeping in mind that she and her lawyer said if Eddie buys Mel a 9million dollar house they'll shut up. Who would want her after that? She's going to get everything she deserves because that fool she married is going to make sure of that.

      65

      Mel, I always liked you from the spice girls because, you were a sister, I think you need to really evaluate why you are hooking up with emotionally vacant and abusive men. Eddie only wanted sex from you and this guy just want to take you for a ride and to get exposure for whatever the fuck he does. Have some class or at least, ask yourself if this man deserves to be around my young daughters. Your new husband is very abusive. I know from experience that he has that look in his eyes that will tear you to pieces, emotionally and physically. Guys like him are incapable of loving a woman the way she should be loved and respected. They go after the vulnerable pretty ones, so they can enjoy watching you go from beautiful, to ugly with split lips, loose teeth, scarred flesh and a lingering look of terror and hate on your use to be pretty face. I still love you Mel B. but wake up before you cannot.

      Mel B. is making a fool of herself. How can she go from one guy, get pregnant (probably on purpose without his approval) and go to another guy ( a convict no less) be so in love and get married?
      I've lost a certain amount of respect for her. How is this affecting her children?

      Those pretty blue and/or green eyes are evil. Look at them closely. There is something sinister in those eyes. If he has a domestic violence charge against him there has to be some credibility to that rap sheet. Come on girl…think! Also, please, please, please, do not have another baby; esp. with this guy, because this will not last (sorry). Also, if you are so independent why did you want Eddie to buy you a $9 house plus pay child support? That is not independent. Also, if you wanted Eddie to be a part of Angel's life, you went about it the wrong way, and because of you Eddie will probably not be a part of her life for a LONG time. You effed up girl, but don't do a Britney and let this guy ruin you. Keep your eyes open…even when you're sleep.

      Comment #75. You and I had a similiar situation with this guy. I can't believe I was such an idiot and hooked up with him either but I did. And Ya he was super charming. Most con artist, wife beaters are. Too bad I don't have the pictures anymore. He told ME he was still fucking his ex and wanted to continue fucking me and that he was just being honest. I was like are you fucking mental? When I told him I didn't need this shit he kept calling and calling. He would call my phone 6-10 times in a row if I didn't pick up. He's a psycho and probably has a disease. I got myself tested for damn sure.

      Strong, independent women don't try to extort ridicolous sums of money from unwilling fathers and pass it off as "child support." They don't try to extort million dollar mansions from the unwilling father either. Whores do that. She's supposedly rich, why the shakedown?
      If she wanted a baby, she should have gotten artificial insemination or, better yet, had her new husband give her one. But there's no money in that and the money is what "scary" was after all along.
