Mel B Asked Pals Not To Report Estranged Husband's Abuse To Police - Reports

Former Spice Girl Mel B reportedly asked her pals not to report her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte's alleged abuse as she was frightened that he would "kill" her.

She has been granted a restraining order against Stephen after she claimed in court documents that he was physically abusive to her.

A source told TMZ: "Some of the people who confronted her said they were going to call the cops and report him, but she became emotional and begged them to stand down, and not just because she was in fear for her life. She believed anyone who blew the whistle on Belafonte would become his target."

However, her former boss on the X Factor, Simon Cowell, was suspicious and tried to help her contact a divorce lawyer after she tried to overdose on Aspirin.

A source told The Sun: "Although no-one was sure what was going on, Simon and the team at Syco really became concerned at 'The X Factor' finale in 2014.

"In the days afterwards, following her release from hospital, they tried to help her leave Belafonte. They introduced her to divorce lawyers to help her to go through with it."

Mel has a five-year-old daughter with Stephen.
