ALLEGATIONS BY MEL

Stephen emotionally and physically abused Mel in front of one of her children.

Stephen has a long criminal history involving domestic violence against the mother of his first child. He once beat a duck to death with a brick.

Stephen ordered Mel to have sex with him and random women. He secretly recorded these sex sessions and threatened to release videos of her if she refused.

Stephen had an affair with their former nanny Lorraine and got her pregnant. Stephen took money earned by Mel to pay for Lorraine’s abortion and hotel stay while she recovered from the procedure.

In July 2012, Stephen punched Mel in New York, claiming she had been flirting with Usher and wanted to have sex with him.

In August 2012, Stephen punched Mel and made her pay for her own medical treatment in cash. Stephen made Mel tweet that her injuries came from running in high heels.

Stephen has taken millions of dollars from Mel over the course of their 10-year marriage.

After discovering Mel had taken a bottle of aspirin while she was mentally exhausted, Stephen locked her in a bedroom, shouting ‘die, b----!’ and preventing her from calling for an ambulance. When she almost got out, he slammed the bedroom door on her head.

Stephen threatened to tell X Factor and the press that Mel had tried to kill herself, so she would lose her job. (Mel served as a judge on the British TV show in 2014.)

Stephen made insensitive comments when Mel revealed her father was dying from cancer. He also withheld Mel’s passport so she could not see her dying father in the United Kingdom.
