Mel B accused of pressuring witness into claiming Stephen Belafonte raped her

Fresh off claims that Mel B has reportedly been intimidating a witness who is set to testify against her in court, the former Spice Girl has now been accused of asking another potential witness to lie about being raped by Stephen Belafonte.

A 22-year-old student has claimed that she regularly enjoyed threesomes with Mel and estranged husband Belafonte but that in recent days Mel called her and claimed that she would have to appear in court ‘in two or three weeks’.

She was then allegedly told by Mel that it was a legal requirement for her to appear in court and that Mel wanted her to testify that Belafonte raped her.

‘I know about the sex act and that you were crying and saying “no” and I want you to be in court for that,’ the Daily Mail reports Mel told the student during the call.

When she denied being raped, Mel reportedly then tried to pressure her into saying she was.

Rapper Siya has also alleged that Mel sent her threatening messages warning her not to testify against her in court, according to TMZ.

The website claims that Siya – real name Michele Sherman – filed a police report regarding the alleged text messages, with law enforcement opening a felony investigation into Mel after seeing the texts.

Sherman – who stars on the reality show Sisterhood Of Hip-Hop – was set to testify in court against the Spice Girl in her trial with estranged husband Stephen Belafonte.

Sherman, 30, was believed to be prepared to testify that Stephen, 42, didn’t physically abuse his wife, and that Mel ‘frequently used illegal drugs’.

TMZ claims that the rapper also was set to testify that Mel was the driving force behind threesomes with Stephen and Lorraine Gilles, the nanny the pair hired to look after their children.

Mel, 42, has accused Belafonte of domestic abuse throughout their 10-year marriage, while she has also accused him of having an affair with their nanny Lorraine Gilles and getting her pregnant.

Belafonte denies these claims.
