Mel B To Enter Rehab To Battle Booze And Sex Addictions After 'Incredibly Difficult Six Months'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Mel B has bravely admitted that she is heading to rehab to tackle her alcohol and sex addictions after an "incredibly difficult" six months amid her divorce from ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.

The Spice Girls star, 43, revealed she will be entering a UK-based therapy centre next month after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as she wants to be a "better version" of herself for her children - Phoenix Chi Gulzar, 19, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, 11, and Madison Brown Belafonte, six.

Mel spoke candidly about her upcoming treatment as it is a "huge issue for so many people" and she has hit "crisis point".

Talking to The Sun, she said: "I've been working with a writer on my book, Brutally Honest, and it has been unbelievably traumatic reliving an emotionally abusive relationship and confronting so many massive issues in my life.
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. Sometimes it is too hard to cope with all the emotions I feel. But the problem has never been about sex or alcohol — it is underneath all that."

Just earlier this month, Mel was ordered to pay ex-husband Stephen $350,000 in legal fees as their bitter court battle finally drew to a close. And despite the outcome, the singer appeared ecstatic as she celebrated the official end of her relationship with the music producer in an Instagram video where her hairdresser best friend, Gary Madatyan, triumphantly held up the divorce papers in his hands.
