'It was the saddest moment of my life': Mel B opens up about her 2014 suicide attempt in her memoir 'Brutally Honest'
'Spice Girl' Mel B has revealed some intensely personal information in her new memoir ‘Brutally Honest'. At a particularly low point in her life, while navigating a difficult marriage with her husband Stephen Belafonte, Mel attempted suicide. In March 2017, Mel filed for divorce from Stephen, to whom she had been married for 10 years.
ET Canada reports that in an excerpt published from the book, Mel discussed how suicide seemed like the only option left for her. She swallowed a dozen aspirin pills in the hope that it would free her from her pain. She describes the incident, which took place in December 2014 when she was scheduled to attend the red carpet launch for the final weekend of “The X Factor” in London, saying, “I’ll be wearing a beautiful dress, my hair and make-up will be perfect. But if you want the absolute truth, I don’t care about any of it. My life is a mess and I want out,” It was after this that she proceeded to take an unhealthy amount of pills.
