MEL B COURT BATTLE BOMBSHELL

128 pages of legal claims pile pressure on Scary Spice

- EXCLUSIVE BY DAN WARBURTON

MEL B’s ex-nanny has revealed the full extent of her bizarre relationsh­ip with the star and her husband.

In bombshell court papers, Lorraine Gilles, 26, claims the ex-Spice Girl acted as “camera man” for threesome sex movies.

MEL B’s ex-nanny has dramatical­ly hit back at the star who dragged her into a bitter divorce battle – by accusing her of filming threesome sex videos in legal court papers.

German model Lorraine Gilles, 26, said being filmed romping with the ex-Spice Girl and her movie producer husband Stephen Belafonte made her feel “very uncomforta­ble”.

She stated she believed the sex footage is on mobiles owned by the couple – and that she’s terrified of it appearing online.

In the bombshell 1 28-page libel lawsuit filed by her legal team late on Friday, Lorraine added: “These recordings would be extremely embarrassi­ng to me and my family… I do not want any of them to become public.”

Married Lorraine has been caught up in the warring couple’s crossfire ever since 42-year-old Mel B filed for divorce after 10 years of marriage in March.

The singer and X Factor judge alleges the nanny had an affair with her husband behind her back, fell pregnant by him and then had an abortion.

She also accuses Belafonte, 42, and Lorraine of taking money from her. But the nanny has steadfastl­y denied the baby she was carrying was Belafonte’s.

The papers have been released by her legal team in the latest stage of her bid to clear her name – and to fight a hate avalanche against her online after being branded a “homewrecke­r” by Mel B.

In the dossier, lodged with California’s Superior Court, Lorraine revealed how all three enjoyed sex together.

She said in the papers: “My sexual and employment relationsh­ip with Melanie continued for approximat­ely seven years until September 2016.

CONSENT

“During my time with Melanie, she and I had sex sporadical­ly, sometimes having sex multiple times in a week.

“On the other hand I never had any sexual relations with Stephen without Melanie’s instructio­n and without Melanie’s actual or apparent consent.

“At no point did I represent to Melanie that I was pregnant with Stephen’s child.

“The only times Stephen and I had sex was when Melanie instructed Stephen and I to do so. Or when Melanie herself invited her husband to join us in the bedroom, at which point Melanie would often serve as the “camera man” and record the sexual encounter or take part in the menage a trois herself.”

The legal papers, written in her own words, also blasted claims she was colluding with Belafonte to release a hoard of sex videos of Mel B – insisting she does not posses any footage.

Lorraine admitted she sent the former X Factor judge an X-rated email saying she was looking forward to them sharing a sex act at the weekend, adding: “It has been too long!”

And she refuted claims she was holding sex tapes and private possession­s in a storage facility – adding that the lock-up was in Mel B’s name. Lorraine said she is now working as a waitress, but has been forced to take legal action because of the accusation­s.

In the papers she stated: “I have been actively trying to move past my time and relationsh­ip with Melanie. I simply wish that she shows me the same respect I’ve shown her over the past seven years.

“However this lawsuit became necessary after she refused to leave me alone and spread a number of lies about me and my relationsh­ip to her family on an internatio­nal scale, all to benefit herself in her divorce proceeding­s.”

Revealing her hell at the hands of internet trolls, she said in the dossier: “I have… received countless messages, threats and insults from random persons all over the world, shaming and degrading me based on the false image of me created by Melanie.”

Lorraine describes in the court documents how she arrived in California from her native Germany in 2009 when she was just 18. She met Mel B and Belafonte at a restaurant in West Hollywood when she spoke little English.

She claims within days of meeting, Mel B invited her back to her home and after enjoying drinks they had “consensual group sex together”. After six months in LA studying English, she returned to Germany. But she was offered a job by Mel B as a nanny for her three daughters, Madison, Angel and Phoenix.

She claims Mel B helped her get a visa for the US, telling the authoritie­s she was a “full-time caregiver for her children”. But she was sacked from her $6,666-amonth job in September 2016 after finding herself “caught in the middle of intensifyi­ng marital arguments between the couple”.

Court papers shows she was handed a $30,000 severance package.

THREATS

Since Mel B named her in her divorce case – in which Lorraine claims she was portrayed as a “conniving and backstabbi­ng homewrecke­r who has extorted mass sums of money from Melanie” – she has received a string of threats.

In the papers, she said people were now “viewing me as an ‘evil woman’ based on the statements made by Melanie”. She said she had been tormented online by trolls from across

the globe. One on Facebook, using the name Luanne Pruesner-Van De Velde, calling her a “homewrecke­r”. Another described her a “disgusting person” while someone living in Portugal said she was “trash”, a “prostitute” and a “disgusting woman” with “no dignity or morals whatsoever”.

One woman, calling herself Sarah Morrow from Cheshire, simply sent Lorraine a message calling her a “bitch”. But Lorraine has always denied ever claiming to be pregnant with Belafonte’s child, revealing it was a one-night stand with a man she met at a bar in Hollywood.

She even claims Mel B paid for her abortion. Lorraine said in the papers: “Stephen and I never told Melanie I was pregnant with Stephen’s child in 2014, as is stated in Melanie’s declaratio­n. Rather, I discovered I was pregnant several weeks after I went out for drinks with a friend at The Den in West Hollywood and had a one-night stand with a man I met at the bar. I immediatel­y sought guidance from Melanie and spoke to her privately about the pregnancy. I felt comfortabl­e approachin­g her because of our close relationsh­ip. “At no point did I suggest or imply that I believed Stephen to be the potential father of the child. In fact, I had not had group sex with Stephen for several months prior to my unexpected pregnancy. “Instead, Melanie herself assisted me with arranging a medical appointmen­t, advanced the cash for the procedure, and booked a hotel for me to stay in to recover.

“On several occasions, Melanie actually visited me in the hotel and brought her children to make my recovery more pleasant.”

Lorraine said in the papers that photos taken after that showed “our sexual and friendly relationsh­ip continued after my procedure was complete and we continued to have fun socially with one another”.

During her time working with Mel B, Lorraine claims Belafonte paid $60,000 to her husband Michael Bleau to help his start-up business – not as a pay off. Lorraine also claims in the papers that in late 2014, while in the UK, Mel B took “an entire bottle of aspirin” and was hospitalis­ed – this incident took place in the latter stages of The X Factor. Lorraine also says that, despite Mel B’s claim they ended on bad terms, she was invited to a preschool event for the star’s daughter after being sacked in September 2016.

In the papers, she tells how one of Mel B’s daughters gave her a handwritte­n note thanking her for her work in which Mel B wrote: “I write this to say not only thank you for everything you have done for my kids, but also sorry.”

Mel B has filed five separate legal motions against Lorraine in a bid to strike out her libel lawsuit from court.

Last month it was reported Mel blew her £38million fortune during her marriage to Belafonte, and had just £961 in her bank account
