Victoria Beckham showed support for her “brave” former Spice Girls bandmate Mel B after the latter shared a video to spread awareness about domestic violence.




“This is so powerful and brave,” Beckham, 47, wrote on her Instagram Story on Monday as she reposted a short film that Mel B, 45, made in partnership with the UK charity Women’s Aid about the realities of abuse.




“Swipe up to watch the full thing and learn more x VB,” the fashion designer added.




In the “Love Should Not Hurt” film, which Mel B originally posted to her page last week, Scary Spice portrays a character in an abusive relationship who is seen looking battered and bruised.




“This is the most important video I have ever made, I will never stop fighting for this cause so please, please keep sharing please, please keep talking,” she captioned her post. “To the abusers, we know who you are, even though you are still out there thinking you can get away with it. The tide is turning.”

She added, “Thank you for helping me shine a spotlight on this, so proud to be Patron of watch think, talk, and donate.”




Mel B’s activism comes after she accused her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte in 2017 of beating and sexually exploiting her — claims that he vehemently denied.

She subsequently got a restraining order against Belafonte, 46, for allegedly drugging her throughout their marriage and recording 56 sex videos, some including threesomes, without her consent.




Mel B later rescinded the restraining order so that he could see their daughter, Madison, now 9.

During their divorce, the former “America’s Got Talent” judge also accused Belafonte of impregnating their nanny, Lorraine Gilles, and claimed that he had forced Gilles to have an abortion. Gilles later sued Mel B for defamation of character, and they reportedly reached a settlement last month.




In 2018, Mel B went to rehab for PTSD from the alleged abuse.




She and Belafonte were married from 2007 to 2017.




Mel B has two other daughters: Phoenix, 22, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar and Angel, 14, with ex Eddie Murphy.
