Mel B is being sued for $500,000. The former Spice Girls singer, her husband Stephen Belafonte and their business partners are the subject of a lawsuit filed at Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday by BMEDIA accusing them of fraud and breach of contract.
The media development and distribution company claims to have made a deal in 2008 to invest $500 000 into Mel B's upcoming projects, after she assured them she had a multitude of concerts lined up in support of an album she had ready to release - only for her to then take on a role in Las Vegas production 'Peep Show' instead.
The company are suing for $500,000 plus interest, and are also seeking a 12.5 per cent share in profits made by Mel B for her work in 'Peep Show' and from sales of her 'Totally Fit: Mel B' exercise DVD.
Neither Mel nor Stephen - who are currently appearing on US reality TV show 'Mel B: It's A Scary World' - are yet to comment on the lawsuit.
