Mel B has reiterated her belief that 'weak men are pathetic', 22 years after first making the statement, as she spoke candidly about domestic abuse in an interview with Grazia magazine.
The 44-year-old singer, who famously said she hated 'weak men and salads' in 1997, detailed how abusive relationships can start, saying: 'Weak men are so pathetic, for a start, they thrive off a woman’s insecurity, and that’s where a lot of abusive relationships can start: very subtle and coercive.' She added that vulnerability should not be confused with weakness, calling vulnerability 'a beautiful thing'.
Mel was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after accusing her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte of emotional and physical abuse during their 10-year marriage, allegations he has always denied. The couple separated in December 2016.
The Spice Girls star also teased a possible reunion, saying she texted her bandmates this week asking: 'Come on, are we going to do something again or what?' She added: 'I am always going to hold a candle that we can get back on stage together.'
Emma Bunton recently told MailOnline that 'stuff is bubbling under' regarding the group's future, including discussions about new music and an animation project.
