The famous 42-year-old British singer Melanie Brown, who became famous for her participation in the singing group Spice Girl, continues the scandalous divorce process with her husband Stephen Belafonte. Yesterday it became known that the court, which took place recently, ruled in favor of the actress. Now Brown will pay his ex-husband an impressive amount for his maintenance each month.
40 thousand dollars every month
The trial between popular singer Mel Bee and her ex-husband Stephen continues from March 2017. During this time, the judicial body was provided with a lot of evidence, saying that their marriage could hardly be called ideal. The public learned that Belafonte constantly cheated on Melanie, beat her, and morally mocked him. In addition, an unpleasant story emerged with the nanny of the children of the famous singer. As the girl stated, the star spouses forced her to have sex with them, taking her joy out on the video camera. However, later it turned out that the nanny was not at all against such pastime and participated in an intimacy not only with Stephen, but separately with his wife. In addition, it became known that Brown and Belafonte abuse alcohol, which adversely affected the relationship with children.
Considering all these facts, and many others, the judge made a decision that Mel Bee is not a victim of her husband's violence, as previously reported, and she herself suffered physical injuries while drunk. Belafonte managed to prove that Brown herself fell down the stairs, and then declared that it was he who pushed her. In this regard, according to the court decision, Melanie will now pay Stephen $ 40,000 monthly to house maintenance, pay phone bills, buy clothes and food. However, as lawyers of both sides tell, this situation will last only until the spouses divorce. However, for Melanie, this is not all the costs that she will incur due to the divorce proceedings. The judge also insisted that the singer is obliged to pay all the legal costs of her ex-spouse, which is $ 140,000.
