Mel B Addresses Her Attempted Suicide in Upcoming Memoir 'Brutally Honest'

Mel B is getting Brutally Honest in her upcoming memoir. The Spice Girls member decided to open up about how she attempted to commit suicide in 2014.

Mel B, born Melanie Janine Brown, aims to make her book a "tell-all" event, according to Brutally Honest's description. The 43-year-old singer intends to address what truly goes on behind the headlines, including her attempted suicide.

In Brutally Honest, Brown detailed her suicide attempt where she took 200 pills of Aspirin. She, however, instantly regretted her decision.

"'Now what's going to happen, Melanie? STOP!' As soon as I'd swallowed that last pill, I knew I didn't want to go anywhere," the English talent wrote, according to The Sun. "'Melanie! What the f*** are you doing? Get a grip!' Suicide was not the answer. I had to make my life count. I had to get to a hospital."

Brown was taken the intensive care unit for treatment. She suffered damage to her kidney and liver. The X Factor judge's oldest child, Phoenix Gulzar, visited her in the hospital. It was "the saddest moment of my life," Brown recalled. She wanted to reassure Gulzar how "sorry" she was and how she'd "never, ever abandon her again."

Brutally Honest, which hits shelves November 27, delves into other areas of Brown's personal life, including her former marriage to second husband Stephen Belafonte. The book described the pair's 10-year relationship as a "horror."

The couple split in March 2017 after she filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." She requested the judge refuse Belafonte spousal support, but was ordered to pay him monthly.

In court documents, Brown alleged Belafonte abused her and sought a restraining order against him. According to E! Online, her suicide attempt was cited in the legal documents as something that stemmed from "physical and emotional exhaustion." The domestic violence claims were later dropped as they reached a settlement. Brown and Belafonte currently have joint custody over their 7-year-old daughter, Madison Belafonte.

Brown suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, something she talked about during an August appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I've been in therapy since my father got diagnosed with cancer nine years ago," she said. "My therapy changed a little bit because I was in a very intense relationship, which you can all read about in my book. I do address a lot of those issues. But you know, no, I'm not an alcoholic. No, I'm not a sex addict...I did kind of have to ease my pain...I do suffer a lot from PTSD."
