Thank God she found the strength to leave!

Mel B filed for a restraining order against ex Stephen Belafonte, and her reasons for doing so sound totally terrifying. According to the former Spice Girl, her estranged spouse was physically and emotionally abusive, forced her to engaged in nonconsensual threesomes with random women, and got the nanny pregnant, TMZ reports. He also secretly filmed their romps and threatened to use them against her if she ever tried to leave him. What a monster!

Brown alleges Belafonte would closed fist punch her, choke her, and throw her to the ground, and these incidents always were precipitated by big moments in her career, as a way to "beat her down" and let her know "he was in charge." Her injuries were visible on multiple occasions, and Belafonte pressured her into making up elaborate excuses. "Running in 7 inch louboutin no good!! I'm wearing Prague on my face!!!" she captioned one photo of her bruised face.

Belafonte also coerced her into having threesomes, and secretly filmed them so that if she ever filed for divorce, he would release the footage. He ended up getting the nanny pregnant, and paid her $300K to have an abortion, after suggesting that they all live together and raise the child.

For the record, Belafonte denies all the allegations.
