AceShowbiz - Things don't look good for Melanie Brown. The former member of Spice Girls is reportedly desperate to rebuild her life following costly split from Stephen Belafonte. She is said to be eyeing a $1.5 million property in the U.S. but cannot afford it. So, Mel B ends up asking her friends to help her raise money, according to Mirror.
"It's well-known Mel's finances are not great, but if the house deal falls through she'll be in an even worse situation," a source revealed. "She just can't afford to lose any more cash. So she's turned to pals in her hour of need and they're trying their best to help."
Earlier this month, it was reported that the 42-year-old singer had only 961 pound sterling in one of her back accounts, after spending 38 million pound sterling, which she earned from her pop career, on "extravagant lifestyle." Due to her financial crisis, Mel B was even said to be asking Simon Cowell to sign her as a judge on another season of "America's Got Talent".
In the meantime, Mel B is trying to sell a lavish Hollywood Hills mansion she previously shared with Stephen before their split in February. The property went on the market in March for 7.2 million pound sterling. However, she reduced the price by a whopping 800,000 pound sterling two weeks later. Stephen recently made claims via his lawyer Grace Jamra. She said, "Their lifestyle was extravagant and affluent. She wiped out all her Spice Girls money, approximately $50 million if not more."
