Mel B’s nanny reveals why he told a judge about her ‘bad behaviour’

MEL B’s former nanny has claimed he felt compelled to tell a judge about the star’s drink and drugs demons after witnessing her cruelly bully her 11-year-old daughter and flaunt a string of strange men in front of her two young children.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail TV, Rusty Updegraff also claims the former Spice Girl, 43, pictured, would leave town for ten days at a time and not once call her children while she was away.

Rusty – who cared for Brown’s children for nine months – said witnessing the emotional impact her behaviour was having on Angel, 11, Madison, seven, and even Phoenix, 19, was difficult and ultimately spurred him to act.

His bombshell deposition, filed in court on August 31, led to a judge ruling the singer had a drink and drug addiction – and ordering her to undergo four months of regular medical tests. Daily Mail TV revealed the judge has since ordered that Mel must have a ‘responsible’ adult with her during overnight stays with Madison – the daughter she shares with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.

And if she takes the child out of the US, she could lose custody.

Judge Mark Juhas imposed the strict regulations while he works out what to do over long-term custody with her ex Belafonte. The order says Mel can, ‘hire an acceptable nanny from a registered and bonded agency’ to satisfy the requirement, but there must be someone ‘present’ so that the star is not left alone with her child unsupervised.

Restaurateur Rusty says he is pleased with the outcome and that it was never his intention to push for Mel to lose custody of her children.

‘I did the job because it’s about the kids, not her,’ he said. ‘Those girls love their mom and Melanie loves the girls, but she desperately needs help. I want her to be clean and healthy, because when she’s healthy she can be a mom again. Right now she’s the world’s worst mom.’

Recalling the worst incidents at Mel’s Hollywood home, he said the singer would down tequila and spark blazing rows with daughter Angel, with Madison in earshot. And during the shouting matches, the America’s Got Talent judge would allegedly often hit out at sports-mad Angel, calling her a ‘stinky b***h’ for refusing to wear deodorant.

Rusty said Mel’s sex life got out of control and he worried about the children being exposed to different strange men. He said: ‘There was like three guys in a day and I’m talking five-hour sessions with each one, because the guy goes, you know, I talked to the guys and they’re like, I can’t go any more.

‘And then another guy would come in and another guy... There were men coming over to her house at all hours, who are virtual strangers, and they are around the children.’
