Mel B, Stephen Belafonte.Getty Images (2)According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Belafonte is accusing his former spouse of creating a “deliberate and wide-ranging campaign to cause him severe emotional distress and destroy his reputation” in the years since their 2017 split. Throughout their time in the spotlight, some A-listers — including Brad Pitt, Britney Spears, Madonna and Tom Cruise, among others — have found themselves involved in pretty messy divorces. Mel B, who has since moved on with fiancé Rory McPhee, has maintained her abuse claims over the years, even detailing a suicide attempt during her and Belafonte’s marriage in her 2018 memoir, Brutally Honest.
