This is why we love her because she is brutally honest
❤
I was shocked that Mel B was in an abusive marriage until 2017. She is a resilient woman! I have abusive parents and am working on getting away from them.
I’m so sorry I hope you go as far as you can 👍
💜💐🙏….
Girl where u been, Wendy Williams was all over that story about Melody no good as husband.
@@mintoriaadams4076 I’m saying that I knew about it prior to 2017.
I will be praying from them
I called out my ex to his face (told him he's emotionally and financially abusive) the constant belittling and chipping away at my personality, parenting 😢- it was a very quick so called romance but the emotional and financial abuse was palpable. I called it out with 5 months and I thank God it didn't go on any longer! I was a shell of myself in such a short time. I couldn't even fathom living like this for years! 😢
“Abusers won’t stop unless they are stopped.” I’m in the process of stopping mine- currently have criminal and civil protection orders, and an active felony stalking, harassment, restraining order violation, and witness intimidation case against my ex. If you believe in prayer, please prayerfully petition the source for my deliverance from this situation. It’s been too long (broke up with him two years ago). Currently displaced. I’m staying strong but it’s a lot to deal with. My heart goes out to anyone in this situation.
Keep us updated. Keep it documented ❤. Make the paper trail.
I pray that God will Protect and Keep You Hidden From All Demonic Forces against you, in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
@@musicneurons7807 I will. Thank you ♥️
@@loishewellgigJ Amen, thank you 🙏🏽♥️
@@musicneurons7807 I will 💙
And it takes twice as long to heal from an abusive relationship.
Didnt take her long though, to find herself a new man
It's stories like hers where I feel we need to do our research before getting with someone. Sometimes, it's even good to talk to their exes to see just who we are getting with.
Congrats for Mel B getting out of an abusive relationship. I'm happy her daughter educates children about what a healthy relationship looks like. They are both saving so many lives with their story.
I was in not one, but two emotionally abusive marriages after my late husband died and what made all the difference in my healing is seeing how GOD sees me, that He loves me and counts me as precious!
❤ so true! "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so...Yes Jesus loves me." Understanding this is helping me to begin healing from abuse as well. God bless you!!
@@renee2542 thank you! God bless you, too!
❤❤ Sending Mel B and other Survivors of Abuse lots of Love
She explains abuse so well.
She's never changed, had one of the best interviews with Prince years ago💜🙏💕
That interview with Prince was awesome.
I've not read her book but I've seen a few interviews of her talking about the situation she was in. She was and is my favourite Spice Girl... always looked confident and spoke with high confidence, but little did we know. Love how she's bringing back the girl power in herself!
Hope Mel B received therapy to avoid ever ending up in that situation again.
She probably did, and got herself a new man as well.
I can totally relate to the quote when she speaks on emotional abuse in an intimate relationship. It’s a slow chip at your self esteem. I was only 20 when I experienced it.
Wow!! That statistic of 3 women every single day dying from DA is horrifying. God bless Mel B for raising awareness, and God bless her daughter doing the same for young people. ❤
❤OMG. So glad she put those signs in the book for others to be aware
Very sad when a spouse goes through abuse whether verbal or physical no one should have to go through something this bad.
DV is life changing and it effects so many layers of your life and others around you. It took my mom 10 years to finally escape my Dad! She didn't have to live that way. My Mom had a whole family that loved her dearly and I had at least 2 crazy uncles that could have handled the situation. But I guess she had to do it on her own terms. I remember every broken bone, punch and bites -- that I witness and its been over 40 years ago almost like yesterday. It still haunts me.
Wow you never would’ve guessed that about Mel I’m so happy that she’s doing so much better. I know what’s she’s talking about it hurts but the shame guilt I felt I no longer feel. What the man took from me emotionally, mentally and financially caused me stress and depression and anxiety!!! I’m in a great place now what was taken from me God restored!!!!
It’s Narcissistic Abuse
I’m so proud of Mel B! Her story resonates with me so much! I was raised by abusive patents, and then married an emotionally abusive man. I recently escaped after 15 years, but I am still picking up the pieces of my soul. 😪
You are loved, never give up
Mel B. I am so proud of you, wishing you many blessings 🙏🏽
Thank you for how you share your truth from an honest heart, because it is a real realm of life that need to be told. To help women to be aware. Thank you so much again for your gift of truth.
Mel B is wonderful, wonderfully strong. A whole plethora of emotions. Wow. I sincerely wish her a full & happy life from this day forward
I love Mel B. Thank you for sharing your story with us❤
Am all in tears right now.Because i took me 10 to realise that am in an abusive relationship.
Wow! Much love and respect ❤
2 Lovely Ladies!!! Mel & Tamron!!💕🤗🤗💕made My Day!!👍👍
So glad she is able to tell her story ❤
So incredibly proud of her! 🙏🏾❤️
Sorry that you went through that Mel B, love your show Tamron two beautiful strong women 🙏🏿
Amen 🙏🏽 thank you for sharing your truth.
Thank you for speaking up Mel B. It really helps to have the language to describe what it is you're going through and how to escape from being under it.
Loved mel b from day one. to know she was abused so badly she nearly took her own life breaks my heart. Love you Mel B. God bless you and your family :) I'll be reading your book for sure ❤❤
As a fan of the Spice Girls, Mel B is a legend and a survivor of a abusive relationship with her ex. I only have the first edition to Mel B book Brutally Honest. All the Spice Girls are legendary UK Pop Goddesses and Phenomenal Divas. They were gorgeous then and are still gorgeous now. Mel B, your book Brutally Honest always got me heartbroken in tears, I never been in a relationship due to my autism and gyno phobia. No offense, but I have seen it in real life about abusive relationships and domestic violence in women but also men as well. I just got registered to become a me too movement committee. And it is popular around the celebrities and real life people around the US and the UK and around the whole planet Earth. It is wiser to love thyself and to build a relationship with u and build and grow yourself to survive life just to be safe and enjoy yourself and live life to the fullest. That's what I learned from your book Brutally Honest Mel B. U are a Goddess. Much love 💕💕 and hearts ❤️❤️❤️🥰 from Detroit Michigan USA.
I met him in 2014,he was so nice doing everything right,i thought that is love but no,he was slowly bringing me closer and closer.
He managed to mke me change my hair wardrobe,cut off friends depend on him emotionally,mentally and financially.We have been in seperation since 2022😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Mel explained my life the way it is.
We love you, Mel B... stay blessed 👀🌍🌎🌏
She is right that is a abuser 24 hour job.
I like Mel B. I hope she has peace, love, and joy in her life and a relationship with God and Jesus and her family as well. Good bless them all and continued healing and success.
Love you Mel… continue to Shine … no one can take what God has given you… Better with Beautiful Blessings on the way….💖💕🌷💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽🙏🏽🌟💐
Praying 🙏 for our women
I’m in the process of getting out of one. It’s been terrible….
The Lord will heal your brokenness. That's His job. He did it for me!
I applaud Ms. Brown. I truly hope her coming on various shows helps her
40:00 ooops TEA!!! He was not Ready to Love lol.
Geez 85M and she had nothing is mind blowing. She seems like a really wonderful person and I pray she continues to recover and soar!
I knew I wasnt crazy. She was on the show with a black eye with makeup on it. ..ppl forgot but I knew I wasnt blind or crazy!!!
Luv u Mel congrats. Keep pushing.
Wish you all the best - Mel B 🙏
Don't know till we tell. 😢
Was waiting to see her iconic big hair......I always love
someone please stop the man having visitation with his children. i never liked him on their reality tv show and i remember always thinking i was scared for his daughter being in his hands. it was a weird intuition.
Me too, me too!!!😢😢😢
Who was it?
@@ASMR-XI-ZUI he's called Stephen Belafonte. He was in the reality tv show she did. He changed his name to Belafonte because someone (blind) told him he looked like Harry Belafonte, so the sociopath started lying and pretending he was his son.
Mel B's body is insane❤❤❤❤❤
When the topic hits home it's difficult for the interviewer to stay focused and conduct an effective interview.
GET THE BOOK FOR YOU but also for YOUR FRIENDS

As a gift 🎁🙏🏼
INFORMATION is PROTECTION
❤
Mel B I love and admire you,
I think you should make a movie of your life
Tamron is such a cheerleader....always empowering femininity
I feel bad for Mel, the abuse she endured and not getting out of the situation she was in a lot sooner. I’ve heard her ex speak of his innocence several times and denying every negative thing he’s been accused of, not to mention his never-ending attempts to tarnish Mel’s reputation. He's a smooth talker to the point of my gut telling me that he spoke with forked tongue filled with pure BS; I didn’t believe his Avé Marias! He’s already been criminally charged for physical abuse towards his previous ex, so it speaks volumes about the wrongdoings he’s put Mel through.
While I haven't read her book, but I will, ‘cause I'm intrigued by her story, on another note, when Tamron got to the part about Mel having earned $85 million during her career but had to move in with her mom when things got bad due to the “financial abuse” she was subjected to by her ex, I gagged 'cause, with having made that kind of money (and I would feel this way about anyone, whether they were a celebrity or not), it was hard to believe that she didn’t have the financial means to get a place for herself and her children when she decided to get out. I realize that people fall on hard times, I have had my share, but $85 million? Come on now! There's no way in hell I wouldn't have some kind of nest egg on the side somewhere just in case, even if things were good! Mel hasn’t come this far in her career to be viewed as a stupid woman, ‘cause she’s not, so it’s hard to believe that she was financially strapped, blackmail or not, to the point of not being able to provide four walls and a roof for herself and her children. In situations such as hers, one should be prepared, especially when you know and feel in your gut from the first [blackmail] threat he shoves your way, that the end could be imminent.
She [supposedly] receives $25K a month for child support from Eddie Murphy for their daughter, Angel, and even with that kind of money, anyone can have a decent place in which to live, even if you have to rent. It doesn’t have to be a mansion! I’m not trying to be judgmental, just “Brutally Honest” in my feelings that $85 million, or even $25K a month, and you have to move in with your mom or anyone else for that matter, ‘cause you don’t have the financial means to support yourself or your children is mindboggling.
I find it incredible ‘cause one can do a hell of a lot with that kind of money unless, that is, you've lived an irresponsible lifestyle that was way beyond your means. Nevertheless, if there’s anything to be found out about where her money went, and if she’s “Brutally Honest”, I guess I'll find out about it in her book, but I am baffled how anyone would allow someone to abuse them financially in that regard to the point of leaving them with nothing, especially, to reiterate, when you have children. Nevertheless, I hope she’s in a much better place in her life and, of course, I wish her all the best. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed her personality and talent throughout her career over the years - and especially her accent! I was truly a Spice Girls, and still am, a Mel B fan. (P.S. I met her once and she was genuinely nice to me!) 😊
It happens in any relationship and statistics are higher. Most are silent.
She's right abuse will stay with you forever
❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Omg mel b what did you do to your face?
i thought her fight with eddy murphy was bad for her . HOLD my beer.
❤
Happy Holy Week black women need to know our worth want to look at Mel b book was is spice girls fan her Tamar Braxton would mirror each other triumph over struggle .
She was one of the Spice Girls.
One of my favourite Spice Girls.
Mel B's former brother in law *WARNED* her, Stephen (a fake "Belafonte") was into violence, brutal sex, & financial abuse...even beat a poor mallard (duck) to death. But she still stayed with him at the beginning of the relationship when the brother in law told her , her ex was *USING* her. Mel should had *LISTEN* to him "somebody" who *KNEW* her ex long before she came along. Stephen ex even beat him up when they fought. She just didn't listen.
What puzzles me is, I would have thought if a person is in an abusive relationship it’s a bout control and power, but I would have thought if that was the case , you being abused was the one that was the earner, the cash cow , surely that came with the power, cut them off financially, move out temporarily until legally they are forced out hire security to protect you from further abuse, it’s like they not only take your self worth but also your brain. Im so glad you could go back to your mams to recover and heel I’m so sorry for any woman or man that suffer at the hands of domestic violence, I’m sure it’s a case of if you want to know me come live with it.🌟🙏🌟
She and Tamar are looking a lot alike...
That's what you took away from this? Her looks? Smh
They look nothing like each other.
@@CZcamsReady I did not watch it, yet. I observed the picture and I made a comment. Just as you took time to write a comment, so did I...smh
💬 I call 📞 it text book crimes definitely don't give up on educating ourselves femicide is a crime committed more commonly in some countries
Mel 🤎🤎🤎
I do not get it. changing the locks and hiring security with guns works. She could have afforded it.
Because when your abused you often go into denial or believe its your fault . It took me a very long time to recognize it.
Free Beyoncé
This also includes Trans Women.🙏🏼❤
Interesting interview. However, I must point out that MEN are being increasingly abused, too. There have been a number of truly horrific cases of it over in the UK. ALL abuse must stop. We all need to know the 15 signs so that we can nip it right in the bud, before we get too drawn in.
I don't even recognize her
She used to come into a store I worked at in London back in the day. She was obnoxious as hell. Very much a "don't you know who I am" type. Find it hard to take her seriously now.
People act stupid when they are young worse if they got fame and money whole young , Hope she has out grown that young stupid girl
Eye job no
Please beautiful black women, Stop With The Plastic Surgery !!
Women in general, surely?
Black women don’t need Botox, leave it alone - it’s not worth it! I hope she returns to natural beauty that aligns with her new self belief!
I know 😔 she is still so pretty but the work makes her look like Tamar Braxton. I hope she doesn't do anymore to her face.
It's always your own people... She's talking about her abuse, and the only thing you focus on are her looks. That's what you choose to focus on? She trying to help abuse ppl through her abusive story,and her face is the subject of your comment. That's kinda sad, my friend. You never know, maybe her cosmetic surgery is due to her abuse. Maybe it's a means of coping with it. You never know. Maybe he told her that she was ugly and it stuck with her self esteem, so she targets her looks. All I'm saying is be careful with focusing on her looks. We never know what the reason is for getting the surgery. Self belief truly takes time. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Dang, I guess I never looked at her enough because I don’t see the problem. She is beautiful! Her face look normal, I mean was it completely sunk in before?? (Lbvs😂)
To end on the right note, I respect the hell out of her for sharing her story because I never would have known. 😢 My energy goes out to her ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@CZcamsReadyyou speak facts!
I get what yall saying and I do hear the message, but that's not botox. That's a small face lift. She's in her 50s. Looks good though. Money well spent.
There is not only abuse in heterosexual relationships.
Salvation is the good news that Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead. Because of the disobedience of Adam, we were made sinners. Sin was passed down to us, and therefore, the judgment of that was to condemnation. But Jesus did not come to the world to condemn the world, He came so that we may have everlasting life. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the only way to God the Father. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Without Him, no man can go to heaven. Romans 10: 9 says; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Awful outfit.
Sounds like Meghan and Harry...
I don't like how she got that rolex sitting on top of her sleeve like that...
😂
How would you like her to wear it
I been done with her..Since she she was so mean girlish to a Real looking trans girl on a another jazell Barbie..I was watching the show with my best bff friend saw how At the jealous and ignored the beauty of this transwoman I was shocked
She was living off Eddie Murphy's child support.
It takes 2 to have a baby
Don't know till we tell. 😢
