Mel B’s attempt to regain possession of alleged sex tapes in possession of her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte was shot down in court on Friday.
The former Spice Girls star, 41, was seeking a court order demanding Belafonte, 41, turn over any “electronic media in his possession” that depicted Brown “in either a sexual situation and/or other compromising situation.”
The judge denied Brown’s request, but the temporary restraining order she was granted against Belafonte earlier this week prevents him from disseminating the videos in any way.
Brown maintains that Belafonte has the tapes — along with other personal items of hers, including Spice Girls memorabilia and photos of her recently deceased father — in a storage facility that she claims is under the name of Lorraine Gilles, the couple’s former nanny. Brown earlier claimed Belafonte impregnated the nanny during their marriage and she later had an abortion.
