Mel B. has finally addressed the stories concering her wife-beating husband, swearing he is not some psycho. She's afraid that her friends and family might believe that Stephen Belafonte is the monster the press has suggested.
According to The Mirror, she admits she was devastated by revelations that he had battered ex-girlfriend Nicole Contreras but still defended his reputation, explaining that he has had group therapy and
counselling.

She
says: "Everything I stand for is about being a strong, independent
woman (is that what Scary is supposed to be? I thought she was supposed to be like Gene Simmons, but with more make-up), so for him to be seen as a wife beater is devastating for me
because he's not - he never has been... They're trying to make him out to be this
aggressive, violent, woman batterer and he's not. If you read those
police reports, they never say he physically beat up a woman."
Oh, it's a technicality! I get it. He wasn't married to Contreras, so how could he be beating his wife? The media needs to be careful throwing labels like that around. Just because you hit one woman doesn't mean you're a bad guy, right?
Now duck-beater? That's a different story.
