‘AGT’ Judge Mel B Confirms She's Entering Rehab For This Reason

Mel B just confirmed that he will be going to rehab for her sex and alcohol addiction.

The “America’s Got Talent” judge shared the news with The Sun last week. “I have made the decision to go into a proper therapy [program] in the next few weeks, but it has to be in the UK because I am very, very British and I know that will work best for me,” she said.

The Spice Girls member said that she has been working on her memoir, “Brutally Honest,” and writing it has been a somewhat traumatic experience because she had to revisit and confront some of her issues from the past.

“Sometimes it’s too hard to cope with all the emotions I feel. But the problem has never been about sex or alcohol – it is underneath all that. I am fully aware I have been at a crisis point. No one knows myself better than I do – but I am dealing with it,” she said.

Mel B and her ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte, finalized their divorce last year. Prior to this, the singer filed for a temporary restraining order against Belafonte and claimed that he physically and sexually abused her. In the court documents, Mel B detailed the harrowing experience she suffered in the hands of her ex-husband. However, Belafonte denied her claims.

“I desperately wanted to leave the relationship and tried to do so during our first year of marriage and every year thereafter. When I threatened to leave, he informed me he has videos of our sex life and other private moments. He would threaten that if I left, he would release the videos to the tabloids. I have lived the past decade in fear that he would release the intimate videos of me that would embarrass me and damage my reputation and my career,” she said (via Entertainment Tonight).

However, Belafonte never released the videos.
