The former Spice Girls star admits that she doesn't think the 'Flubber' star will ever have a role in three-year-old Angel's life because of his conduct during her pregnancy.
Melanie Brown used to "hang her head in shame" when people doubted
Eddie Murphy was the father of her child. The former
Spice Girls star, who has a three-year-old daughter Angel with the comedian, admitted she doesn't think the "Flubber" star will ever have a role in the tot's life because of his conduct during her pregnancy.
"Angel is three and I didn't expect her real biological father to pop back into her life," she explained. "I think, in my mind, I fought so hard for justice at the very beginning of my pregnancy. I was hanging my head in shame because everyone was like, 'Is that really the father?' but I knew what I knew. Do I really want to be back on a red carpet entertaining everyone else's world like, 'Ooh, Eddie's back in our life - we're one big happy family'."
A DNA test eventually proved Eddie was the father of Angel, but Mel, who also has an 11-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi with first husband Jimmy Gulzar, admitted the period when he denied fathering Angel was a "horrible" time. Mel, who is now married to producer Stephen Belafonte, added on her new reality TV show "It's a Scary World", "I had to keep my head down - I had no choice but to just carry on with everything. It brings up all that again and all that hurt I went through by myself and pregnant."
"I had to move to the beach, I had paparazzi following me everywhere, I had people calling me a gold digger and saying that I got pregnant on purpose. It was a horrible time so I had to make sure I wasn't frustrated by what everyone was saying and forget what actually went on."
