Four months ago Spice Girl Mel B's ex husband, Stephen Belafonte, filed a $5 million defamation of character lawsuit against her [click here if you missed that].
In the meantime, Stephen wants Mel barred from speaking about him...
From In Touch
Mel B's ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte, demanded the Spice Girls star be shut down in her effort to have him sanctioned as part of his $5 million lawsuit, In Touch can exclusively reveal.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Stephen, 49, opposed the singer’s motion asking the court to sanction him for his alleged “blatant abuse of judicial process in filing this action, which lacks any colorable basis in fact or law.”
Stephen sued Mel, 49, accusing her of spreading lies about him being abusive.
Stephen said Mel “falsely” accused him of “crimes and horrific offenses, including physical beatings, r ape, financial abuse, emotional abuse, six trafficking, and illegal gun possession.”
He said that Mel then used her celebrity to “portray herself as a domestic abuse victim in order to market and sell a memoir laden with egregious lies.”
Stephen asked for an injunction prohibiting Mel from continuing to make accusations against him.
The ruling is pending.
