7 Stars Who Had Messy Custody Battles - Page 4 of 9

Mel B and Stephen Belafonte

This Spice Girls member and her producer ex-husband were so in love… until they weren’t. In 2017, they had a breakup that was the opposite of amicable. They accused each other of bad parenting when they tried to fight for custody of their daughter Madison. Mel B called Belafonte abusive and claimed he Facetimed their daughter with a bunch of half-naked women in the background. Belafonte in return said that his ex brainwashed their daughter to think he was abusive. They both filed restraining orders against one another, and in 2020, Stephen asked for full custody.
