Mel B will "set the record straight" with a new autobiography.

The Spice Girl – who was involved in a very public court case with her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte – is set to pen a book titled ‘Brutally Honest’ after "keeping silent for a decade".

She said: "I have kept silent for a decade, but after a very public court case, I want to set the record straight … This book will show that abuse can happen to anyone. It is important that my three girls, who I raise as a single mother, know how to break the chain of abuse – along with any other woman who reads this book."

Last year, it was revealed Mel B has been "approached" for a memoir.

A source said at the time: "She has been making notes and has been ­approached about a memoir. The last year’s volume of ­controversy and scandal is enough for most autobiographies. Mel doesn’t want to hold back."

Meanwhile, Mel recently revealed her father Martin’s death gave her the "clarity and strength" to get her life "on the right track".

In an emotional post on Instagram, she wrote: "The pain of loosing my daddy is beyond anyone could ever understand, but in the mist of all my raw emotions and pain of his passing he gave me the clarity and strength to set my life on the right track. And I’m sooo thankful of this awakening from march 4th when he died I now live in my truth to correct with no shame the life every girl/daddy’s girl should live, and that’s a life with no fear or disrespect. But a life with ONLY love and respect and honesty.

"Dad I love you but I would give anything just to talk you one last time just so you know how much I truly love you and for you to know I’m now living THAT life and no matter what anyone says or anyone does I will ALWAYS and forever only live this way. So I hope you forgive me for my mistakes and trust in me that my eyes are now wide open and I want to do you proud from here on.(sic)"

Mel B’s ex-husband claims she is a drug addict and an alcoholic.

The Spice Girls singer has been accused of covering up bruises and other injuries caused by her problems by claiming she was a victim of domestic violence, her former spouse Stephen Belafonte has alleged in new legal documents.

The TV producer has made a bid to obtain visitation rights to his 10-year-old stepdaughter Angel – whose biological father is Eddie Murphy but who he has helped raise since she was a baby – and claimed Mel has lied about domestic violence in a bid to turn the youngster against him.

In the legal documents, which were obtained by TMZ, he referred to a 2014 incident in London, where Mel claimed she was hospitalised after he smashed her head into a door.

But the 42-year-old producer – who has six-year-old daughter Madison with Mel – insisted that the ‘Stop’ singer overdosed on drugs and sustained bruises from an EKG machine and I.V. drip during her stay in hospital, but falsely claimed the marks were a result of abuse.

He also claimed the ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge – who is also mother to Phoenix, 19, from her first marriage to Jimmy Gulzar – frequently walks into walls because she is so addicted to drugs and alcohol, and is often so intoxicated, she tries to pull down her pants and urinate on the couch, even in front of her children.

According to the documents, Stephen sent Mel’s therapist text messages to plead with him to stop giving her medication as he feared she would overdose and die like Michael Jackson.

The 42-year-old singer has previously claimed Stephen forced her into having threesomes, but he insists that is a lie and he has videos where she initiated and recorded the raunchy sessions.

According to Stephen, Mel looked into the camera and said, "That’s hot!" and "I like it."

The British singer has claimed her former spouse – who she split from a year ago – showed the children appalling videos featuring terrorist beheadings, but he insisted that is a blatant lie and he has never even searched for such footage.
