Spice Girl’s Mel B has bravely admitted that she is checking into a clinic after battling issues with booze, sex and post-traumatic stress disorder.
She’d be admitted into a UK-based therapy centre next month, to help her cope with alcohol and sex addiction, alongside a post-traumatic stress disorder.
A close friend who spoke about the sex addiction the 43-year-old former Spice Girls band member is hanging on, revealed how Mel B slept with up to three men in one day in the wake of her bitter divorce from Stephen Belafonte.
“I have made the decision to go into a proper therapy [program] in the next few weeks, but it has to be in the UK because I am very, very British and I know that will work best for me,” Mel B told The Sun in a statement on Sunday.
She also explained how she arrived at such a difficult decision following her divorce from Stephen Belafonte.
“The past six months have been incredibly difficult for me,” she told the publication. “I’ve been working with a writer on my book, Brutally Honest, and it has been unbelievably traumatic reliving an emotionally abusive relationship and confronting so many massive issues in my life.
“Sometimes it is too hard to cope with all the emotions I feel,” she added. “But the problem has never been about sex or alcohol– it is underneath all that. I am fully aware I have been at a crisis point. No one knows myself better than I do — but I am dealing with it.”
She later shared why she is deciding to speak out.
“I am still struggling but if I can shine a light on the issue of pain, PTSD and the things men and women do to mask it, I will do,” she said. “I am speaking about this because this is a huge issue for so many people.”
Mel B shared these details, at almost the same time she shared a link to a website detailing an overview of PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder). “Knowledge is power,” she wrote alongside the link.
