Mel B, the Spice Girl known for her empowering songs, has broken her silence about hurtful comments made by her ex-partner Stephen Belafonte.
As you know, the former couple were married for ten years before they divorced in 2017. Their divorce was highly publicized, with the star accusing Belafonte of physical and emotional abuse. Now, the activist refuses to let the derogatory label define her, sending a strong message of self-love and resilience.
Mel B Speaks Out About Ex-Husband’s Embarrassing Comments
Embodying “Sexy Spice” instead of Scary Spice, the actress has overcome self-confidence challenges stemming from an “abusive” marriage. But he didn’t achieve it all by himself. The mother-of-three attributes her newfound confidence and sense of beauty to her hairdresser fiancé, Rory McPhee.
However, her journey to reclaim her self-esteem was marked by trauma during her marriage to Belafonte, as the songwriter claims that the film’s producers cruelly labeled her “fat and ugly.”

The mother of three insists that although she has a “thick skin” when it comes to public opinion, it’s different “when someone you marry, someone who is meant to love and respect and value you, someone you share your home and life with, starts rips you, then it’s very, very different.”
Mel B told Sun that the co-executive producer of “Wolf Mountain” would allegedly always say things like “‘You look old’, ‘you look fat’, ‘God, you’re ugly’, [and] ‘your arm is limp.’”
Depicting the words “like rain,” the television personality suggests that they seep into a person’s sense of self, eroding confidence and distorting their perceptions. In his words:
“They seep right into you, they take away your self-confidence, your sense of self and, when you look in the mirror, you don’t see a strong and happy woman – you see a reflection of what you’re told, ‘fat, ugly, old. . . worthless.’”
Crediting a hairdresser, who he met in 2018, for playing a key role in boosting his confidence, the 48-year-old shared: “It’s taken me years but I feel more confident than ever and I’m with a partner who says he loves me me and say I’m beautiful every day. Being with a man who loves me, being with my family, having loving friends that I trust, it all helps.”
Through all that, the “I Want You Back” singer is now more determined to convey the message of body confidence to her three daughters. She emphasized, “I tell them they’re beautiful. I never talk about diet. I talk about health, fitness and strength. I grew up with my mom saying every Sunday night, ‘Diet starts tomorrow.'”

Seeing the ineffectiveness of such an approach, Mel B is committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle, covering everything from “eating healthy, exercising and understanding your body – from how much sleep you need to how much water you should drink.”

After shocking her fans by revealing her engagement to McPhee, who is 11 years her junior, Mel B revealed last month that her upcoming nuptials will feature elegance, set at one of England’s most prestigious wedding venues.
This was to be expected, given that he proposed with a stunning champagne-colored diamond ring worth $177,000, against the backdrop of Cliveden House in the United Kingdom.
The famous talent shared the details during a chat with Dave Hughes, Ed Kavalee, and Erin Molan on the popular Australian breakfast show, 2Day FM. When asked about the place, the “Voodoo Princess” presenter revealed:
“Because I have an MBE, I can get married in the same place Princess Diana married Charles. I am still waiting for an answer from St. Cathedral. Paul in London. We’ve put in all our forms, and we’re just waiting for them to give us the day.”
What’s more, she revealed that her wedding dress will be a stunning creation created by former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham, adding a sentimental touch to her big day. The longtime “America’s Got Talent” judge said, “When I get the date, I’m going wedding dress shopping. Victoria Beckham wants to make me a dress.”
