Mel B<\/a> says breaking her ribs was “nothing compared” to allegedly suffering an abusive marriage. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mel B is still in therapy over her allegedly abusive marriage<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old pop star was married to producer Stephen Belafonte<\/a> from 2007 until 2017 in what she has alleged was an abusive relationship \u2013 although he has always denied the claims – and she has now claimed that the pain she felt in that decade was worse than when she suffered a “serious fall” and broke several ribs. <\/p>\n

She told The Saturday Times’ Style magazine: “In 2018, I suffered a serious fall and broke several ribs, but that was nothing compared with what I went through for ten years in my abusive relationship. Whether you\u2019ve been abused for an hour, a day or a month, it sticks on you, because you\u2019re constantly told that you\u2019re not good enough: you\u2019re not worthy; you\u2019re fat; you\u2019re ugly. That\u2019s why body confidence is so important to me. Once you leave an abuser, it doesn\u2019t just stop. Especially if you have kids with that person.”<\/p>\n

The Spice Girls star – who received an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women – has 11-year-old Madison with Stephen as well as Angel, 16, with Eddie Murphy<\/a> and 24-year-old Phoenix with Jimmy Gulzar and went on to allege that she is on a “never-ending journey” to recovery following the alleged abuse and still goes to her local Women’s Aid shelter for therapy. <\/p>\n

She added: “They can still carry on abusing you through the courts. It\u2019s a never-ending journey to piece yourself back together and feel like yourself again. I go to a Women\u2019s Aid shelter down the road to get my therapy. I used to have to bash on people\u2019s doors for them to listen to me about domestic violence. When I brought out my memoir Brutally Honest in 2018, no one wanted to talk about it. Now we\u2019re less ashamed to speak out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
