The legal fight between Mel B and her estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte, has a new chapter, according to TMZ.
The former couple are in a heated divorce and a custody dispute, and both sides have made public claims about the marriage. TMZ now reports that a police report has been filed against Mel B and that a felony witness intimidation investigation has been opened.
According to TMZ, the rapper Siya filed the report on Monday. Siya claims Mel B sent her text messages urging her not to testify in the case. TMZ reports that Siya took the messages to police, and that officials opened the case.
Siya says she was prepared to testify under oath in support of Belafonte and that she considers herself a friend to both Mel B and Belafonte. Sources close to Mel B told TMZ that Siya has only met the singer a few times.
Mel B’s camp says the witness intimidation allegations are bogus. No charges have been announced. Baller Alert will update you if there are any developments.
