Melanie Brown, one o the most beautiful women in the world, says that she was left to feel “fat, ugly and worthless” by her ex-husband, Media Take Out has learned.
The 48-year-old pop star was wed to producer Stephen Belafonte from 2007 until 2017 in what she has alleged was an abusive relationship – although he has always denied the claims – and she has claimed his regular insults made her lose all her confidence in herself.
“The difference is when someone you are married to, someone who is meant to love and respect and treasure you, someone you share a home and a life with, starts ripping you apart, then it is very, very different. He’d say, ‘You look old,’ ‘You look fat,’ ‘God, you are ugly,’ ‘Your arms are flabby’ week in, week out,” she told The Sun newspaper.
“In a way, those comments are like rain. They seep right into you, they wash away self-confidence, your sense of self and, when you look in the mirror, you don’t see a strong, happy woman – you see a reflection of what you’re told, ‘fat, ugly, old . . . worthless.’ “
Luckily Mel is now free of that relationship. She’s now happily dating, and out here living her best life.
