Another day, another dose of drama, courtesy of Spice Girls singer, Mel B., her ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte, and unfortunately, Eddie Murphy and the daughter he shares with Mel B., Angel Iris Brown-Murphy, have been dragged into it. Following Stephen’s latest mini-media blitz, of professing his unwavering love and rights to Eddie’s daughter, Angel, we knew it was only a matter of time before Mel B. filed a legal clap-back of her own.

Why Mel B.’s Ex Wants Rights To Eddie’s Daughter

In case y’all haven’t heard, Stephen is fighting for rights to the “X Factor” judge’s and Eddie’s little Angel. Mel has three children: Angel; daughter, Madison (6) with Stephen; and daughter, Phoenix (19), from her first marriage. Though Stephen was granted joint custody of Madison- his biological daughter with Mel B.- Mel is telling her ex-hubby of 10 years to ‘get tuh steppin’ when it comes to Eddie’s daughter.

Mel B. and Stephen appeared in court recently, over Eddie’s daughter, and Stephen told the judge he should be granted step-parent rights, because Angel “has called me dad since she started to talk.” He continued, “I strongly believe that Brown’s abrupt decision to cut off all ties between Angel and I has been emotionally traumatizing and detrimental to Angel’s mental health and well being.”

Mel B.’s New Clapback- ‘Don’t Go Around Edie’s Daughter!’

It’s just been reported that Mel B. has now filed new legal docs, claiming that Stephen’s so-called connection to Angel is a bunch of bullcrap and here’s why:

Via TMZ: According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Mel B says while she was with Stephen he aggressively tried to drive a wedge between her and Eddie. She says Stephen once took her phone and sent text messages to Eddie’s assistant … and whatever he texted pissed Eddie off enough to cancel a visit with Angel.

She says Stephen’s allegation, that Eddie has abandoned Angel, is BS … Mel B says Eddie has interacted with Angel numerous times. Mel B says since Stephen’s been out of the picture she’s resurrected her relationship with Eddie. He got Angel her first cell phone, Angel named one of her dogs Axel after Eddie’s character in “Beverly Hills Cop” and she’s plastered pics of the “Shrek” premiere on her bedroom wall. Mel B says Angel is flourishing now but is terrified of Stephen.

She also says it’s laughable that Stephen has bonded with Angel … she says he confuses Angel for his other daughter, Madison, in his legal docs.

Mel B. revealed that she and Stephen had a tumultuous, abusive marriage.

They All Seem Wrong

Quite frankly, all three parties involved, appear to have some wrongdoing, as it pertains to 10 year old Angel:
(1) For starters, Stephen’s sentiments just do not seem very genuine…that’s just my opinion though.
(2) If what Mel B. is saying is true, then she, too, deserves the finger pointed at her, for allowing ANY man to ‘drive a wedge’ between the her child and the biological father.
(3) Although Eddie’s not running to the paparazzi to make a media circus of himself, he’s not off the hook. Again, if Mel B.’s side of the story is accurate, then there should NEVER come a time where a father will allow his ex’s man to dictate whether or not he will see HIS biological child.

However, if I had to choose, I’d say it’s best for Angel to be close with her daddy, Eddie, which is where she seems happy. Movin’ on…
