Singer accuses husband of domestic violence, granted restraining order

Former Spice Girls member Mel B has obtained a restraining order application against estranged husband Stephen Belafonte.

According to Mel, Stephen beat her up on many occasions, got their nanny pregnant and forced her to take part in threesomes throughout their ten-year marriage.

The 41-year-old star made a lot of disturbing claims in her court declaration which means Stephen to stay away from her and her three children.

TMZ reported the allegations of abuse levied against Belafonte includes 'punching' and 'choking' Mel, 'splitting her lip' and 'pushing her down on a carpet'.

Mel, who filed for divorce from the producer last month, in court papers say the psychological and physical abuse dates back to the first year of their marriage, in 2007.

In the papers, Mel claims that Stephen forced her to 'participate in sexual intercourse with him and random women.'

In the documents, Mel alleges that the abuse became part of a 'pattern'. When she became successful, Stephen 'would beat me down to let me know he was in charge.' .

She also alleges Belafonte 'punched her and split her lip' after becoming jealous while she filmed a segment with Usher for the X Factor back in 2012.

Furthermore, Belafonte 'punched' Mel and 'pushed her down on a carpet' the day before she and the Spice Girls performed at the Olympic closing ceremony.

Mel claims her injuries were so severe her skin was burned from the carpet, adding that she was then forced by her estranged husband to 'tweet that she injured herself by running in heels.' .
