Melanie Brown has reportedly left her 2-month-old baby with a house cleaner when she married Stephen Belafonte in Las Vegas.
Melanie Brown left her newborn daughter alone with her cleaner for four days when she eloped, it has been claimed. The Spice Girl's former housekeeper, Tonia Lamere, says the singer abandoned two-month-old Angel Iris when she ran away to Las Vegas with lover Stephen Belafonte to get married in June.
Lamere told America's Star magazine: "One evening of baby-sitting turned into four days. The child was sick, there was no nanny, and when Mel called, she never even asked about the baby."
The cleaner - who is reportedly involved in Mel's child support battle with Angel's father
Eddie Murphy - also claims she had to buy food for Angel and her eight-year-old half-sister, Phoenix Chi, with her own money.
A representative for 32-year-old Mel has denied the accusations, saying Lamere is just looking to make some cash. She said: "Melanie is a hands-on mother completely dedicated to the upbringing of her children and the well-being of her entire family. Any fictitious accusations to the contrary stem from greedy people looking to make a buck."
