Mel B claims she's "concerned" over her daughter Madison's safety, alleging her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte has been making some questionable "parenting decisions" lately -- like calling the 9-year-old while surrounded by women in thongs.
The 46-year-old Spice Girl is pleading with a judge to grant her more time with Madison as the exes are locked in a bitter custody battle.
According to The Sun, Mel B filed documents telling the court she's "increasingly concerned about Madison's safety" and lists an alleged video call that reportedly took place between Belafonte and their daughter that added to her worries.
Following their 2017 divorce, the Who Do You Think You Are singer moved back to the United Kingdom, but Madison stayed in Los Angeles with her father.
Mel B claims Belafonte had “video communication with Madison while he is on a yacht surrounded by young women consuming alcohol and dancing in thongs," adding this as one of the examples of his questionable "parenting decisions."
She allegedly told the court that Belafonte has no time to parent the 9-year-old.
"Stephen is working constantly, leaving our daughter in the care of third parties for extended times and through the days and nights," she reportedly told an L.A. court.
