MARRIED LOVER’S WIFE RIPS MEL B
Melanie “Mel B” Brown ends her hot new romance after realizing she was lied to EXCLUSIVE
That was fast! Melanie “Mel B” Brown has dumped her new married cop boyfriend after learning that he isn’t actually separated from his wife, a source tells In Touch exclusively. In early May, when Mel and the Beverly Hills police officer started dating, Scary Spice “told friends that her guy had been unhappily married and had planned to separate from his wife prior to meeting Mel. She had absolutely no clue that he was still with his wife!”
But he is. When In Touch called Mel’s boyfriend’s wife for com- ment, she confirmed that they are definitely “still married.” The wife was also unaware that her husband was cheating on her and admitted that she “thought” that they were happy, especially since they had just gone on a trip together. But in the days after learning about her husband’s affair, the wife attacked Mel, 42, on Instagram and the star dumped her married lover. “Mel isn’t a homewrecker,” says the source, “and feels absolutely awful that she played a role in him cheating on his wife.”
Mel’s guy, who just got mar-
ried last fall, would often spend the night at the pop star’s house. Sometimes he’d even stay there for days. The wife confirms to In Touch that her husband had spent some nights away from home but he told her that “he was working a lot.” Adds the source: “He had been lying to both women the whole time.” The cop did not respond to In Touch’s request for comment.
But his wife took the battle public. “You will never replace me,” she wrote on her Instagram to the America’s Got Talent judge, after mocking Mel by posting a video with friends, singing the Spice Girls hit “Wannabe.” Mel, who’s going through a nasty divorce with movie producer Stephen Belafonte, 42, “was falling in love with her new boyfriend,” says the source, adding that Mel has since blocked his number from her phone. She also blocked the wife, who taunted her even more on Instagram with #oldspice under the caption “when a spice girl blocks you on social media.”
Mel seemed to be drowning her sorrows just days after the split. On Aug. 27, she was seen in LA partying hard after the MTV Video Music Awards. “Mel was sitting on a couch drinking and was so wasted — she even lit up a cigarette inside the party,” says an eyewitness at a VMA afterparty. The singer stayed until the very end. Adds the eyewitness: “The party was practically empty when she and her friends finally left.”
