Mel B MBE

Melanie Brown, famously known as Mel B or nicknamed “Scary Spice”, rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the best selling female pop group of all time, the Spice Girls. The ‘girl power’ group became pop culture icons selling over 100 million records worldwide. She has also been a judge of X Factor Australia, Australia’s Got Talent, The Voice Kids, and X Factor UK.

Outside of her work in the music industry, Mel B has become A Sunday Times Bestselling author with her book, Brutally Honest. This book was released in 2018 and is a deeply personal insight that removes the mask of fame. It reveals the true story behind the Spice Girls and details the horror of her marriage from 2007 to 2017 which turned into a 10 year struggle for freedom.

Her experience in this coercive, abusive relationship led to her work with Women’s Aid. This is a national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. In November 2018, Melanie became a patron of the charity accepting the role with honour.

Melanie has given speeches at Women’s Aid events, performed in an incredibly moving classical music video with composer Fabio D’Andrea, which has gone on to create international awareness of domestic abuse, and helped Women’s Aid establish its lifesaving Live Chat service.

Melanie also launched an economic abuse report with Women’s Aid at No 10 Downing St by discussing her own experience of financial abuse. She has hosted a fundraising fashion show with fellow Patron Dame Julie Walters, and assisted Women’s Aid in advising Coronation Street on a landmark coercive control storyline. 

She continues to advocate for those who have experienced domestic abuse and calls for national prioritisation of domestic abuse to be a key election issue. In the legal industry, she calls for judges to undergo domestic abuse training to create a more supportive legal environment.

In May 2022, Mel B was recognised with an MBE in the New Year Honours List for her unwavering commitment to supporting survivors and raising awareness of domestic abuse.

In July 2024, Mel B was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Leeds Beckett University for her career and work for the Women’s Aid charity.
