Mel B enters rehab for PTSD after six "incredibly difficult" months of drinking and sex addiction
Former Spice Girl and recent divorcee Mel B has revealed her plan to enter a British rehab facility after being diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She has admitted to relying on heavy drinking to get through some very traumatic periods in her life, including the death of her father Martin Brown and the very messy divorce battle with her former husband Stephen Belafonte, who was also allegedly abusive. She had to relive these memories while writing her yet-to-be-released autobiography ‘Brutally Honest.’
The television personality claims to have reached a “crisis point,” which is what has forced her to seek help. Claiming that the past six months have been incredibly difficult for her, Mel B said, “I am being very honest about drinking to numb my pain but that is just a way a lot of people mask what is really going on.”
