Mel B said that after her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte reportedly called her "fat and ugly," her fiancé Rory McPhee made her feel "more confident than ever."

In an interview that was released on Wednesday, the Spice Girls member said that it has taken me years, but she feels more confident than ever now and she's with a partner who tells me he loves her and that she's beautiful every day.

The "Wannabe" singer, who proposed to the hairstylist in October 2022, continued by saying that McPhee was crucial in assisting her in regaining her self-worth. "Having a loving partner, spending time with my family, and having supportive friends-all of these things are helpful," Mel remarked.

The ex-judge of "America's Got Talent," who wed Belafonte from 2007 until 2017, was open about the purported emotional abuse she experienced as a result of their union.

Mel, 48, told the publication, "He'd say, 'You look old,' 'You look fat,' 'God, you are ugly,' 'Your arms are flabby' week in and week out."

Those remarks are similar like rain in several ways. They absorb straight into her, erasing her feeling of self and confidence.

As a result, she no lnger see a strong, contented woman in the mirror, but rather a reflection of what others have told her.

Mel stated that she wasn't ready for Belafonte's supposed criticism of her physical looks, despite the fact that she had to deal with public scrutiny ever since becoming famous with the Spice Girls in the 1990s.

The singer said that she has been in the spotlight since she was a teenager, so she becomes quite thick-skinned when people make nasty remarks.. but it hits completely different to hear these nasty things from a person supposedly loving you.

Madison, Mel's eleven-year-old daughter with Belafonte, was first accused of abuse by her former spouse in 2017. He has adamantly disputed the accusations made by her at the time that he beat her and sexually harassed her.

Recently, Scary Spice, revealed in a recent interview that plans are on for a potential Spice Girls reunion. Emma Bunton is Baby, Geri Halliwell is Ginger, Victoria Beckham is Posh, Melanie C is Sporty, and Melanie B is Scary. These are the Spice Girls.
