Earlier this week Mel B fans went on the attack accusing Mel's husband, Stephen Belafonte, of abusing the former Spice Girl after Mel returned to X-Factor tapings not wearing her wedding ring and covered in bruises and facial swelling after an unexplained trip to hospital [click here if you missed that].
Now rumors are swirling that Mel has decided to pull the plug on her troubled marriage…
According to The Sun Mel walked out on Stephen even before she was rushed to hospital after a series of explosive arguments and is seriously considering divorce.
The Sun source claims Stephen has since fled the UK for Los Angeles leaving Mel behind to deal with the media scrutiny alone.
