That Mel B’s a busy girl. If she’s not in court busting Eddie Murphy’s ass, she’s doing promotional work with the Spice Girls for their upcoming reunion tour or practicing her dance moves for US reality show Dancing With the Stars. Phewee – sounds like she’s in need of a break from her hectic schedule and according to her former housekeeper Tonia Lamere she took one –and promptly dumped her newborn daughter Iris on her. Lamere claims she was given sole responsibility for the baby and her eight-year-old half sister Phoenix Chi, as the singer eloped with boyfriend Stephen Belafonte to Las Vegas where the couple tied the knot.
Lamere elaborates: "One evening of baby-sitting turned into four days. The child was sick, there was no nanny, and when Mel called, she never even asked about the baby." The cleaner claims she had to buy food for the two girls from her own money but Mel’s rep has been quick to quash the damaging rumours. She said: "Melanie is a hands-on mother completely dedicated to the upbringing of her children and the well-being of her entire family. Any fictitious accusations to the contrary stem from greedy people looking to make a buck." And I thought cleaners got a decent wage these days.
