Stephen Belafonte is responding to his ex-wife Mel B's claims that he forced her to do threesomes with other women. He claims SHE was the one recording their sexcapades. And that's not all he's saying. More inside...
Mel B has been on the promo trail heavy, promoting her new book Brutally Honest where she gets candid about how she hit rock bottom during her 10-year marriage to her now ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.
The Spice Girl revealed the abuse got so bad, she was doing 6-lines of coke a day to cope with the abuse from Stephen while she was a judge on "X Factor." During their divorce proceedings, it was revealed he threatened to ruin her career by releasing their sex tapes (about 64 of them) and that he forced her into having threesomes that they also recorded.
Now, Stephen is speaking out to share his piece.
The 43-year-old made claims she was often times behind the camera recording their sex tapes during their threesomes and that they were her idea. Not only that, he said he has videos of her doing drugs in front of her their children. He claims she's making all of these accusations to protect her image.
"I do not know who I was married to, at all," he told Daily Mail TV. "It is a person who had the capability of probably slitting my throat if it protected her as an addict," he said. "What she has said to protect her own image, to play the victim was nasty and horrific. I'm dumbfounded."
He said he's "disgusted" that she would even write about her drug use and sexcapades being that her daughters will one day read the book.
"I don't know why a person who cares about their daughters, who is girl power, would ever in a million years want this to be out there for your younger daughters to read."
In the book, the "X Factor" judge admitted having threesomes was her idea, however, she claims she's was motified when she found out he filmed the encounter.
"She said that I had sex tapes, she had the world thinking that I filmed pornography, you know, sex tapes of my wife without her knowing," he said.
"My wife was filming me. I want to show the videos of her filming me. She's completely dressed and turns the video on herself and talks about, "hmm it's so sexy" and continues filming me with another person having sex."
Before their divorce was finalized in December 2017, they went through mediation sessions. Mel agreed to drop the domestic violence charges against Stephen if he agreed not to play any of the sex tapes in court. He claims she wasn't really worried about the actual sex in the tapes. He says she didn't want the clips of her allegedly doing cocaine in front of her kids to be shown.
Stephen admitted to filming consensual sex tapes with Mel and that he recorded her when she was high. Sounds like "consenual" here is a gray area since someone was allegedly under the influence.
"But there was a reason," he shared. "The videos were taken to give to her therapist. So Melanie would take accountability. Melanie does not take accountability for anything. Not hidden videos, directly (to her). Videos where I'm acknowledging her and saying, why are you doing cocaine around the kids? Why are you drinking so much that you can't stand up now? Why are your friends giving you all of these drugs."
He claims he has never done drugs with Mel and that they only used to drink together.
"I never did drugs with my wife," he insisted. "We never had that relationship. We had drinks together. The drinking is bad. It's the chemical imbalance of Melanie's brain once drinking starts."
The restaurant owner claimed Mel is making him out to be the bad guy in order to justify the things she did during their marriage.
"To be honest with you. I feel like Melanie is projecting... she needs me to be this horrible, abusive, controlling, piece of dog crap in order to justify the things that Melanie had going on in our relationship."
