Mel B is revealing details about her abusive ex-husband that would make David Beckham angry with his appearance. The Spice Girls alum revealed the footballer considered Stephen Belafonte “bad news” for the singer. In her autobiography, released in 2018, the musician noted that her ex “desperately” introduced her to the England athlete, causing her to “humiliate” him at one point.
In an excerpt from the book Brutally Honest, the singer wrote, “David came over one afternoon with his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.”
Adding to Beckham’s perspective about Belafonte, Mel B wrote in her book, “‘David later told my mother, ‘When I met him I knew it was bad news.’
Elaborating further on Belafonte and the British footballer’s interactions, Mel B said, “While everyone else was running around coddling each other’s kids, Stephen had his sights set on David. He’d been waiting for months to come forward.” Was putting pressure on me.

The wannabe singer revealed that she would often make excuses to avoid her former meeting with Beckham. “They’re busy, I told him week after week. They are not around. I didn’t want them to spend the night with Stephen. would you do it?”
Even though the musician fought hard to not let Belafonte meet the athlete, it eventually happened, and Stephen clearly angered Beckham.
Elaborating on the statements, Mel B wrote in her autobiography, “So there it was. He greeted everyone, we all chatted for a bit and then David went to the kitchen area to make some ramen noodles for his kids. We’ll leave it at that. You can understand that he wanted some space and time with his children.
He further said, ‘Stephen did not understand this at all. I felt embarrassed when I saw her immediately enter the small kitchen. And out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Stephen was just following David around, making noises, telling jokes, and trying to get him to go out of town with him. ‘How about we go to some bars? You must know the best places?”
Stephen Belafonte and Mel B’s marriage lasted 10 years before she filed for divorce on the grounds of abuse.
