It has been a rough week for former Spice Girls member Melanie Brown. The America's Got Talent and X-Factor judge has been dealing with domestic abuse rumors that have emerged about her husband, Stephen Belafonte, but now the star is having to do some damage control on other reports that have been making there way online, saying that she overdosed on alcohol and prescription pills the other day.
The star made headlines last week when she appeared on the British reality show, sporting bruises on her hands and face the day after missing a live taping of the singing competition. The reason for the star missing the show was reported as, "stomach pains," however Radar Online is claiming that the real reason might be somewhat worse.
According to the news site, Mel B "was hospitalized because she mixed tranquilizers, including Xanax, with alcohol. It was absolutely accidental, and not intentional. She wasn't suicidal, but the pressure of being back in London brought a lot of unresolved issues to the surface concerning being estranged from mother, Andrea, and the rest of her family."
Perez Hilton is also reporting on the accidental overdose, saying that the bruises she was sporting during the show's taping were from the nurse being unable to find a vein for her i.v.
"Since being back in London, Mel lost a lot of weight, and that is why she had bruises on her arms. Nurses had a very hard time getting an i.v. started on her, and the bruising was a result of that," a source told the site.
Whatever the reason for the bruising, we wish Mel the best during this difficult time.
