London
(ANI):
Spice
Girl
singer
Melanie
Brown
has
broken
her
silence
about
her
marriage
to
Stephen
Belafonte,
and
insists
that
her
new
hubby
is
not
the
'psychopath'
magazines
are
making
him
out
to
be.
Scary
Spice,
in
an
interview
with
Hello
magazine
says
that
was
devastated
when
the
Mirror
ran
a
story
about
Belafonte
battering
ex-girlfriend
Nicole
Contreras.
However,
Mel
B
insists
that
her
hubby
is
not
a
wife-beater.
"Everything
I
stand
for
is
about
being
a
strong,
independent
woman,
so
for
him
to
be
seen
as
a
wife
beater
is
devastating
for
me
because
he's
not
-
he
never
has
been," the
Mirror
quoted
her,
as
telling
the
mag.
The
singer
also
admitted
that
she
hates
it
her
family
and
friends
get
the
idea
that
her
hubby
is
some
kind
of
psychopath.
"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," she
says.
"The
only
thing
I
don't
like
is
that
my
friends
and
family
read
this
and
go
into
shock-horror
mode,
thinking,
'Oh,
she's
married
a
psychopath!'"
she
adds.
Mel
B
married
Belafonte,
32,
in
a
secret
wedding
ceremony
in
Las
Vegas
in
June
after
a
whirlwind
romance.
