Wow. Mel carried that ten minutes, held my attention and got the message across amazingly ❤ much love and healing Mel 💓
Brave woman to speak out and give clear red flag signs. Some friends do not listen when I highlight the red flags…so I scream and hola until they hear what I am saying…run girl run.
Not just partners but parents. I did it all. Got no help ❤❤❤
Mel was born to be a star. She happens to be one of the UKs brightest….❤❤❤
Hoping Mel B's voice and truths help others living with abusers or post domestic abuse to regain their POWER!!
I Was in same situation as you for ten years also been left him years now but still affects me regarding relationships dont trust any man now ❤
so glad that Mel has found her voice again she is one strong lady and a truly beautiful soul. can't wait to see what she does next.
Found her voice? Are you agreeing she can't sing 😂

This is a brilliant comment 😂
I admire her so much
Me too
Me too!!
Love Mel B, bundles of fun, and always true to herself. She has been very open and honest about sensitive and upsetting information.
What a women i admire her and for telling her story, so many people go through abuse behind close doors its so heartbreaking good for you Mel b this may help others going through abuse ❤️🫶🏼❤️🫶🏼
She lived a life of partying and got nothing to show for being in the most successful girl group of all time. She's brought this on herself and now trying to be a victim.
Just give the other girls a call and a reunion will inject some much needed cash
I'm so glad that she said it affects men too. My ex wife is a narcissist. She abused me mentally and physically. I escaped eleven years ago.
Mel B what a powerful woman just love her and so pretty❤
Great respect for Mel B good ambassador for this topic thankyou ❤️😊
She really is the most Honest and down to earth of All the Spice girls... She's Totally up front... it's easy to see why she is on TV as much as she is, I watched her life story on TV with her Daughter, basically how and where she grew up etc...Her daughter was Shocked to see Where she Came from and found out that like many people we were brought up well, but not the kind of life style her Daughter thought, her Children have been lucky!!! I think she's incredibly a nice woman, doing what she's needed to put food on the table... I think she should be Extremely Proud of herself, it's not easy being a single parent with a n abusive partner...
This speaks to me so much I’m in a emotionally and narcissistic abusive relationship right now
I come across your comment 😢😢i know i dont know you but if there is anyway you can talk to somone please dont suffer alone keep strong and remember your are worth everyrhing i pray you can get out of it keep your strength sending so much love 💪🏼💜🫶🏼
I wish I could help you!
Help yourself get out! You have done the first step by realising that you are! You deserve more ❤
It just goes to show, if it can happen to Scary, it can happen to any woman. And I don’t mean she was superior. But she was very confident and independent, very financially secure, and a single parent with the access and reach to wider support. But she still experiences it as if she had nothing, and that’s where the psychological manipulation leads, to you feeling powerless. BUT truth be told, what you have in that relationship is nothing. What you’ll gain out of it, it’ll be a little bit of something.
Mel B is a QUEEN 👑💪
I love Mel B. I never found her "scary" I just think she's great 👍❣️🤪
I have always liked Mel B
❤❤
Thank you Mel ❤
Mel B thank you for your honesty but I never got help I was told they didn’t have enough financials for me and the lady said she was worried about her safety
I love her so much ❤
I think helping others is helping her and most of us as its connection .
Stephen her ex husband is a malignant narcissist. I was with one. You can spot them a mile off. They destroy your life. Bless her. I love that she’s winning and free. It’s a life time of shame and pain.
Have you seen Dr Ramani’s channel about narcissism? Amazing woman on a mission to raise awareness. She just done a really good interview with Steven Bartlett. Hope you’re doing better now.
nah you can't always spot them a mile off... if you could, they'd always be single. strongly disagree with your comment.
@@85catnip you can’t if you’ve not been abused by a narcissist. I had my life turned upside and soul crushed - so yes, I can spot them a mile off.
@@jKDC1987 i was abused by a one who just happened to be created by my mother who allowed him to get away with it. still totally disagree. you have to get to know them at least a little bit to know if they are one and that is not a mile off.
it's not something that's like a hair style or anything you can see, it's something you have to take notice of and learn from them. to say you can spot them a mile off is completely unrealistic, it makes it sound so easy to avoid all contact with them and it REALLY is not.
one final point, i think you are forgetting that these low lives don't show themselves as narcs straight away, so NO you cannot spot them a mile off.
@@jKDC1987 to say you can spot them a mile off without getting to know them a tiny bit to watch them, learn their patterns etc is totally unrealistic. i was abused by my brother and my mother allowed him to get away with it so he turned into a narc because of her. remember they don't show that side of them straight away.
Really feel for Mel and hope she continues to grow stronger as time goes on.
Dr Ramani’s TH-cam channel on narcissism is incredible. She’s just done a great interview with Steven Bartlett which gives a good overview for those new to the subject. I didn’t realise how little I knew about the scope of narcissism until last year. It’s potentially 1 in 6 people who have these types of toxic personalities.
shes amazing!!!! ❤
Mel makes some really important points there about the workplace.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks "That would never happen to me. I wouldn't let it." Do you think Mel B was the type to 'let it?' That's not the way abuse works. It can happen to 👏an 👏y👏one. It does not discriminate. If it were easy to avoid or escape, these statistics wouldn't exist. Forget what you think you know and what you think you'd do 'cause I thought that too- until it happened to me. The best defence is education, in combination with maintaining strong support networks. Get educated, stay connected, follow your intuition.
Love, love, love her!
Mel you look amazing.
Before my mum passed away , she was kinda seeing a married man , he drove a wedge between her and her eldest kids , he also tried to drive a wedge between her and me but it didn't work . He did however lock her in the property she was living in which caused her to end up dying , she caught covid , which caused a chest infection causing pneumonia causing her c.o.p.d to flare up , causing congestive cardiac arrest
You can tell she is still upset 💜 wish I was a fraction as strong as her.
I can relate to this 100%
If Loose Women read this, if they can advocate for 1. Change in the justice system. The divorce system does not look at abuse, I believe the two systems should be joined up. 2. Coercive control is a crime but police hardly ever enforce it. 3. Men can completely ruin a woman's finances. Mortgage companies, banks, and the credit system need to give women grace if she can prove it was her partner that created the bad damage. Otherwise the abuse and trauma continues on for years.
Mel B is a star here
From the outside she seemed strong
When I watched her reality show knew something is off with her ex husband.
It was obvious even if the show was scripted. Very bad vibes from that guy.
Great job melb... perfectly described
I am also domestic abuse survivors in uk
I was thinking at the time - are you that desperate for money? It was so obvious during the reality series that they couldn't stand each other. 😳
Prob Stefan's idea
Why would you play a Britney Spears song for her entry. She has tons of music you could have used.
A load of old spice so lovely ❤
Love Mel B and The Spice Girls!!
The police has no clue.
more money for refugees ! well said!
I wonder what the Beckhams had to say about her book
I don't think Linda Robson said a word!
Two sides check out her ex on James's English 😮
The reason that countless publishers didn't want to publish her book had nothing to do w her talking about coping strategies such as addiction.. the reason was because she infact dismissed ALL charges against her ex husband.. not the courts, HER.. so everything she says and writes is pure unsubstantiated speculation. I don't believe Mel.. and I think that it's very important that celebrities claims are held to some kind of standard of proof.. or infact they could be getting away (and financially profiteering through books and interviews) w infact being the biggest abusers of them all.
❤️❤️❤️
Lovebombing is so confusing!
And she’s also a multi-millionaire
She has so many more ways of getting out of a terrible situation
Ok but she's using her platform to create awareness and get more funding to help these charities? I think she's aware of her privilege but it highlights if it can happen to someone and outspoken and brazen as Mel B, it can happen to anyone.
Money isnt always the answer to everything
He took her money too
Even with women with money. If you have no family and try to go to a shelter for abused women they won't take you -- they figure your rich and don't need help. Luckily Mel has her Mum.
Her ex took all her money and her legal bills were huge
Not keen on Mel B But I take my hat off for highlighting abuse
Ime not keen on any of the spice girls . Gotta give her kudos though for the work shese doing too help others go girl
♥️
Mel looks hot since she was 20! Queen
Where do they get the audience from …😱😱😳
Off the street 😂
who ever is free
Maybe geri could get rid of her cheating husband.
Wow she hasn’t changed one bit. Nobody can get a word in edge ways lol
she's there to talk...
Plugging her book that’s all
She had a choice to leave a chose to stay
Wasn't she the one a few years ago boasting about beating up the "black girl" in girl group All Saints and going to "rip out her weave" because she was giving her attitude?
I'm starting to think she is a professional victim bc let's be real Everytime she is in the news it's her rising form the ashes. Girl stop doing these interviews .
Why do people idolised these kinda fools? Note, she moved back into her Mum's bungalow, why didnt she buy her mother a house on a farm .
It sounds like she squander her money
Meghan & Harry
My thoughts exactly
Grow up their situation is completely different
she was involved in all sorts of deviancy allegedly
That was all part of his manipulation of her in the relationship. This was a part of the divorce proceedings that he still wanted to totally humiliate her- she had to watch all of his films of herself when she was 'self medicating' and he was topping that up as well.
Having listened to the book, she is so honest about the situations she was put in by delafonte and what he did to traumatise her children as well so that not only she has PTSD but some of her children as well because of him and what he did to her.
Don't be too judgemental because until you have been there you don't know what you'll do to survive.
It is a really powerful book, I recommend you listen to it or read it yourself.
Read her book
yea that’s how coercion within abusive relationships works pal
Belafonte was evil
How come when men have “power” it’s called misogyny
There is a difference between power and abusue you can be a positve powerful husband / father and be a great influence but abuse is different all together you have negative power control ect there is a difference
@@Mumma1DonDonz - I agree with you power should be used in a woman’s best interests if you’re a masculine man.
I lost respect for her when her mother called out the abuse long ago. She called her mother a liar and stopped speaking to her. Hope she has apologised to her mother.
😰😰
This is part of the abuse sadly.... she deserves every bit of respect for her speaking out
A lot of women spend a lifetime with their abuser, she was going through abuse and not ready to face up to what was happening to her, maybe she she thought her relationship was normal which is why she wasn’t listening to her mother or anyone else, point is, she got out of it in the end and has been an inspiration to others
You've clearly not suffered abuse, lucky you. Anyone who has knows that this is part of it.
Ahh for god sake that can happen between mothers and daughters , being a bit dramatic!!
If you believe this tosh you need your head testing,these celebs are conning the sheep!
Agree
Shame on you for this comment
@@Mumma1DonDonz why?
@@Mumma1DonDonz Shame on you for being so gullible.
Shame on you both for the way you view things abuse does happen its people like you that stop people from speaking out shame on you
She is no innocent…
There’s no way she was abusive to her partner(s).
😂😂 Delusional
Why?
It's a FACT; when a man is being selective he is labelled as being prejudiced, when women are being selective they are praised for empowering themselves.
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHOyou have got this all wrong
@@Mumma1DonDonz Ask men and they will tell confirm what I said.
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHOif you read my comment from a prevoius reply to this same person (may i add is also a man ) you will also get what i said this really isnt a laughing matter
A load of nonsense. Just someone who had it all and blew it. Like those lotto winners who end up back in a council flat, she was reckless and now pushing this victim narrative . That's all she can do. she's reduced to being on tv with fellow bitter post menopausal divorcees because they're the only ones who will probably listen and promote her book, which will be in Poundland and all charity shops the next day. She has both nothing worthwhile or new to say and is a poor role model.
She should been responsible instead of a hedonistic lifestyle . People like this get old and bitter then make historical accusations in a desperate attempt of getting more money. Won't be long before she goes in the jungle or the big brother house
Read her book
@@Tawadeb
I wouldn't even have that book in my bathroom
@@dee2973 up to you
@@Tawadeb
I just think she's very silly. She should have married a footballer or a CEO of F1. Instead she blew her money. She's on TV now saying "My kids and my mother now will always come 1st" well I got news for you: she should have put them first instead of living a frivolous lifestyle.
She's only herself to blame
@@dee2973 oh were footballers and F1 execs lining up to ask her out??
Thank you Mel
❤
