Talk about a terrible position to be in. Mel B (aka Melanie Brown, formerly Scary Spice) has a three-year-old daughter named Angel with Eddie Murphy (DNA tests proved he was, indeed, the biological father), but she admits it was tough before the test results came back.
“I had to keep my head down – I had no choice but to just carry on with everything. It brings up all that again and all that hurt I went through by myself and pregnant.
“I had to move to the beach, I had paparazzi following me everywhere, I had people calling me a gold digger and saying that I got pregnant on purpose. It was a horrible time so I had to make sure I wasn’t frustrated by what everyone was saying and forget what actually went on.”
Mel also said that, given the way Eddie was acting during her pregnancy, she didn’t have much expectations.
“Angel is three and I didn’t expect her real biological father to pop back into her life. I think, in my mind, I fought so hard for justice at the very beginning of my pregnancy. I was hanging my head in shame because everyone was like, ‘Is that really the father?’ but I knew what I knew.
“Do I really want to be back on a red carpet entertaining everyone else’s world like, ‘Ooh, Eddie’s back in our life – we’re one big happy family’ “
So does this mean Eddie has become involved with Angel? Maybe we have to watch Mel’s new reality TV show to find out. Do you think you’ll tune in?
Here’s Melanie filming for her show.
