Melanie Brown, known as one of the world’s most beautiful women, has opened up about the emotional toll inflicted by her ex-husband. The 48-year-old pop star was married to producer Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2017, a relationship she has alleged was abusive, though he has consistently denied these claims. Brown has revealed that the consistent insults took a severe toll on her self-confidence.
“In a way, those comments are like rain. They seep right into you, they wash away self-confidence, your sense of self and, when you look in the mirror, you don’t see a strong, happy woman – you see a reflection of what you’re told, ‘fat, ugly, old . . . worthless,'” she shared with The Sun newspaper.
Fortunately, Brown has moved on from this damaging relationship. She is now happily dating and embracing her best life, free from the weight of those hurtful words.
