Spice Girl Mel B has called for domestic abuse reforms after opening up about her own suffering with an ex
Sharing her own feelings about the impact of the pandemic on those suffering domestic abuse, the singer said: "I had this horrible feeling during lockdown for women that were in abusive relationships."If it wouldn't have been from me taking my own life, or from him killing me.
It was only after the death of her father that Mel B said she found the strength to leave the relationship, after seven previous attempts. "Every judge I have come across looks in complete horror like, 'Well, you look put together, you look all right, what is wrong with you?'" Mel B said. "The stories that you hear of women saying that, actually, that was more traumatic than the abuse itself, that is generally the experience, and that shouldn't be the experience for the place that is supposed to keep you safe and find justice for you," she said.
