Singer Mel B has accused her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte of multiple abuses and impregnating the nanny.
In late March, the 'America's Got Talent' judge filed for divorce from her husband of nearly ten years citing irreconcilable differences and requesting joint custody of their six-year-old daughter, Madison, reported E! Online.
Amid a new restraining order request against Belafonte, the star has accused the 41-year-old producer of a variety of abuse and threats over the course of their marriage, including physical assault and battery, verbal threats and surveilling.
Mel B described in her declaration, "when something good would happen for me, he would beat me down to let me know he was in charge."
She alleged in the declaration he often demeaned her with negative comments about her intelligence or appearance, specifically after giving birth.
Mel B claimed that Belafonte impregnated their nanny and initially wanted to father the child while the three of them lived together. The songstress detailed one suicide attempt in 2014 when she took an entire bottle of Aspirin while overcome with "physical and emotional" exhaustion while in the United Kingdom, but regretted her actions and tried to call 999 for help.
According to Mel B's declaration, though she tried to leave Belafonte several times starting from their first year of marriage, he "threatened me with violence and threatened to destroy my life in every possible way... destroy my career and take my kids from me."
