Mel B claims she was drugged for ‘much to most’ of her marriage

Former Spice Girl, Mel B, claims she was drugged by her estranged husband throughout “much to most” of their 10-year relationship.

It comes after a string of serious allegations with Mel, real name Melanie Brown, having already accused Stephen Belafonte of physical and mental abuse.

She has also claimed he had an affair with the couple's nanny and that he arranged a sham marriage to keep her in the country.

The pair are currently in the midst of a bitter divorce battle in a LA court, after the British-born singer filed for divorce on March 20, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

According to The Independent, one of Stephen's lawyers, Philip Cohen, said: “Miss Brown now takes the position she was drugged by Mr Belafonte throughout the course of the marriage.”

However, Stephen claims that Mel suffered from cocaine and alcohol addiction during the marriage and that these accusations are all part of a smear campaign against him.

The pair, who married in June 2007, have one child together – five-year-old Madison Brown Belafonte.

A trial on the domestic violence allegations has been delayed and will now begin on November 6 ahead of the full divorce proceedings.
