Back in 2017 Spice Girl Mel B filed for divorce from Stephen Belafonte after accusing him of horrific acts of abuse during their ten year marriage [click here if you missed that].
Now Stephen is suing Mel for defamation of character...
From Page Six
Stephen Belafonte wants to take Mel B to court.
The film producer filed a bombshell $5 million defamation lawsuit against the Spice Girls member, whose real name is Melanie Brown, in a Florida court Wednesday, claiming she “engaged in a deliberate and wide-ranging campaign to cause him severe emotional distress and destroy his reputation,” court documents obtained by Page Six exclusively reveal.
Belafonte, who submitted the suit on what happens to be Brown’s 49th birthday, further alleges that his ex-wife began her “long-brewing harassment” in 2017 with domestic violence claims, which she “dismissed” before he had “his day in court.”
“Nevertheless, the damage had been done. As a result of Ms. Brown’s false allegations of r8pe, illegal gun possession, six trafficking, production of illegal cornography, domestic battery and child endangerment, Mr. Belafonte lost access to his home and children,” the documents read.
Belafonte, also 49, notes in his lawsuit that despite Scary Spice accusing him of being a “monster” and “abuser,” he has maintained primary custody of their 12-year-old daughter, Madison, since 2019. He further alleges the “Wannabe” singer has visited their child “only once” in the past four years even though she has traveled to the US for work.
