Melani Brown, aka Mel B, one of the famous singers of the group Spice Girls, was born on 29th May 1974 in Harehills Leed, England. Her proud parents are Adrea Brown and Martin Brown.

Her interest in music started to grow when she was studying at Intake High School in Leeds. There she started performing arts, and everyone became aware of Melani’s talent in the field of music. After her divorce from Jimmy Gulzar, she started dating several people, including Max Beesley, Christine Crokos, and Eddie Murphy.

Phoenix, Melani’s elder daughter, shares a lot in common with her mother. She often posts pictures with her and takes the surname of her mother, i.e., Brown. Here is a video of her recreating that Scary Spice Girl look.

The famous American singer was subjected to domestic violence and sexual abuse from her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte. She filed her case at the Los Angeles Superior Court for her divorce. Stephen wanted $10,000 per month for his spousal support, but the lawyer had denied this urge.

Within a short time, this talented artist exchanged their hearts and got engaged in May 1998. In the following month, Mel B was pregnant with her first daughter Phoenix. But this relationship didn’t last long, and Mel B and Phoenix got separated in 2000.

Later this famous singer got engaged to Eddie Murphy, a famous Hollywood actor. Eddie and  Mel B gave birth to Phoenix’s half-sister Angel.

Once Phoenix revealed that her stepfather abused her by saying ‘ugly and retarded.’ In an interview, she spoke about how she was tortured in the house. Stephen sometimes ate her tiffin and left no food for this little girl to take to school. Even she was not allowed to go to the fridge and had to stay in her room with the door shut. Arguing with her mom was almost a daily routine of this producer. All these events left a deep mark on Phoenix’s mind. She posted a video on YouTube of her first visit to Dubai.

Not only Phoenix but her mother also spoke out about the bullying and abuse they had faced. The height of cruelty was seen in Stephen when he tortured a beautiful Labrador whom Phoenix owned from her birth. In Phoenix’s words, “Stephen picked him up one day and threw him across the garden into the pool – Lordy was old, he was terrified. I couldn’t speak. A few weeks later, I came back from school, and Stephen told me he’d had him put down.”
