Mel B.: ‘I wish I had never let myself be beaten’ | Stars

entertainment">She makes no bones about it. Mel B. says, literally and figuratively, that she was seriously damaged in her marriage with Stephen Belafonte, with whom she was married between 2007 and 2017 and daughter Madison received.

entertainment">“At a certain point I no longer had a key to the house, no contact with my mother and no credit card of my own. But I didn’t dare say anything, I felt shame. I? Scary Spice? Afraid of someone else? I wish I had never let myself be beaten all these years…”

entertainment">The singer – who was previously married to the Dutchman Jimmy Gulzar and then had a few more ‘female’ relationships – is now hitting back herself.

entertainment">Through a rather intense video, distributed via YouTube, she now draws attention to domestic violence. The Love should not hurt video, made in collaboration with the classical composer Fabio D’Andrea, doesn’t lie and shows a downright beaten up Mel B.

entertainment">Brown now lives in England again, her ‘plague’ still in America. “I still have nightmares about him, although they are less and less frequent.”
