Mel B is giving a whole new meaning to Scary Spice after suffering from a severe eye infection that left her blind in one eye.
The former America’s Got Talent judge explained via a lengthy Instagram caption that she is now on the mend after being “in a lot of pain” because of her diagnoses.

The mother-of-three shared a health update with followers on Tuesday:
The 43-year-old thanked her followers for being supportive while she has been dealing with the health crisis:
“Thank you so much for all the lovely support and messages I’ve had about my eye. Just so you know the real truth. I had an awful experience last week when I went blind in my right eye and my left eye went blurry.”
The Spice Girls member also called out a “source” who spoke out on Monday, refuting their version of the story which claimed she had herpes in her eye and that this had happened before to the singer, while she was in reality “very scared” in the hospital:
“Even though the stupid press said I’m ok and this has happened to me many times before, just to be clear I was NOT ok and this has NEVER EVER happened to me before, so who every is selling this story ‘a close reliable source’ is full of BS and needs to get there silly facts right big time, I was actually in a lot of pain and very very scared but thanks to the incredible eye specialists in A&E at London’s Moorfields Hospital and after at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital I was diagnosed by and eye specialist with severe IRITIS in my right eye and UVEITIS in my left eye.”
Thankfully, she seems to be on the upswing and will be rocking an eye patch for the time being:
“I’m taking multiple prescription heavy duty eye drops and other medication the dr gave me that I have to take every day to keep the inflammation under control, Also I’m being so well looked after by Team Spice special thanks to our paramedics too!! im still dealing with it and will be for[sp] the next 3/4 months to fully get it under control but I’m no longer worried that my condition will get worse. My only problem now is I have to find a very cool Scary eye patch. Does anyone – apart from Madonna – know where I can get one ?? #eyepatch Pls #takingcareofme thank you #nhs ??”
Get well soon, Mel!!
