Imagine what Girls Aloud woulda done with that level of success and fame!!

The reissue of Brutally Honest seems to be doing quite well, currently #72 in the Amazon book chart but also the #1 “musician autography”. I know #72 may not seem great on the surface but I think it appearing amongst every kind of book that’s selling well enough to be in the Top 100 at the moment (fiction, children’s, cookery books, self help etc), is pretty good!

I think I'm right in saying its sales have blown the other girls books out the water. It sold something like 12k the week it was on the Sunday times bestsellers list, while Emma and Mel C managed about 5k and Geri didn't make the list at all.

 

The number of reviews for Mel B's book on Amazon absolutely dewarfs the others too.

Yeah it is quite a success for her, and I am glad.

 

Did Geri's book really not make any list in the UK? Thats quite bad for such a massive slap in the press.... It did flop a bit right?....

I have no real idea how Geri's book sold but I don't think it was good sales in the UK. Geri seemed to cling to it making the New York times list but it was such a niche list 'hardback kids books'. I cant imagine many kids books are released as hardback.

 

The Rosie Frost insta page hasn't posted since 20th Dec 2023, which if you think it is meant to be a series then you would think they would want to keep posting every now and then. There is also no pre-order up for a 2nd book despite it supposedly coming out this year.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rosie books are put on hold or it just gets shelved.

It was a massive flop. When she gets menrioned thesw days, it's in scathing pieces about the publishing industey being choked by "celebrity writers" and people having to become ghost writers for "celebs". There was one on tv the orhee day and it focused on loads of others and just mentioned her in passing as part of the problem!!! :rofl:

The reason why Mel does so well is she is authentic, ans ahe tells the trurh. Look at her with Piers. She told the truth. We all know their split might be what actually helped end the spicu girls too, but Geri is uust putting on yet another persona. The only one you can get the truth from is Mel B.

I'm just curious about Mel B's spellings. Has she always been dyslexic? Or is this all new?

I guess it’s always been there for her, but she didn’t get diagnosed until a few years ago?

Were the new paperback chapters ever discussed? I still haven’t bought it! I don’t know what the new content is overall, but I assume it’s mostly about Women’s Aid and her work with them?

I’ve been reading Mel Bs book whilst I’ve been on holiday (it came in handy on my ten hour flight!).

 

Not yet finished it but it’s definitely been a good read so far and one I’d recommend. My favourite celebrity book I’ve read for some time.

Happy birthday to Mel B from Pippa! I mean from Geri, oop-

 

 

I mean I think we all know that the girls aren't 100% responsible for their own Instagrams, but this accidental exposure of that... it makes it look so impersonal lmao

Oh Gerita... lol at least she bothered considering taht we know things arent as rosy as we would hope between them.

The birthday wishes from Mel C and Emma read more heartfelt and personal than those from Geri and Victoria. Mel C even mentioned creating more memories soon. Who knows?!

Melanie 'Mel B' Brown's Ex-Husband Stephen Belafonte Sues Singer for Defamation in $5 Million Lawsuit

Belafonte claims he "never" abused the Spice Girls star during their 10-year marriage

 

- Melanie "Mel B" Brown's ex-husband Stephen Belafonte has filed a defamation suit against the Spice Girls singer

- Belafonte, with whom Brown shares a 12-year-old daughter, says "he has never physically, sexually, emotionally or financially abused" the star

- She has repeatedly accused him of physical abuse, rape and more, both in interviews and in her 2018 memoir Brutally Honest

 

Stephen Belafonte, ex-husband of Melanie “Mel B” Brown, has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Spice Girls singer, claiming that her allegations of abuse against him are false and part of a “deliberate” campaign to “destroy” him.

 

Belafonte filed his suit in a Florida court on Wednesday, May 29 (Brown’s 49th birthday), and said in the documents, obtained by PEOPLE, that he “has never physically, sexually, emotionally or financially abused” Brown.

 

Belafonte, 49, shares 12-year-old daughter Madison with the singer, and his primary custody of the child. In his filing, he said he stayed quiet for years “in order to protect his young daughter from a drawn-out and public litigation.” Now, though, he is looking "to stand up for himself.”

 

A rep for Brown did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

 

Belafonte’s complaint says he's had custody of Madison since 2019, and that in those years, Brown has “barely maintained a relationship” with the child, allegedly visiting her in the United States just once over the last four years.

 

His complaint also notes previous defamation lawsuits against his ex, including one filed in 2017 by the couple’s former nanny Lorraine Gilles. She sued Brown after the singer said publicly that Belafonte got Gilles pregnant while the two had an extramarital affair. The complaint says that Brown “later admitted that her accusations regarding the affair between Ms. Gilles and Mr. Belafonte were false,” and eventually paid Gilles more than $2 million in a settlement.

 

Belafonte is seeking at least $5 million in damages, and he wants a trial by jury, punitive damages and a gag order against Brown.

Never knew she paid $2,000,000 to the nanny after false allegations of the affair!!! That is not going to look good for her in this defamation suit! :(

 

The fact that he filed this on her birthday really speaks volumes for me on how abusive he is, there is no way he did not know that when he did it, that was a calculated move typical behaviour of a narcissist.

Mel B didn’t repost Geri’s post on her Instagram stories while she did the others so I guess they are still on ice lol.

 

Geri won’t give in to her demands clearly.

 

I remember Mel C got unfollowed by B when she wouldn’t give in either circa 2016/17

Poor Mel, this awful man keeps harrassing her and using her to make bank.

 

I hope she gets rid of him and wins this
