Eddie Murphy reportedly believes that Melanie Brown was trying to ruin him after he dumped her. A source close to Eddie claims that Mel B exaggerated their relationship. Eddie was allegedly shocked when she got pregnant because they only had sex three times and Melanie promised she was using a coil fitted contraceptive. Although Mel B says they had moved in together and she told friends she was going to marry Eddie, it was never a serious relationship in Eddie’s eyes. The insider said:

“Mel might have been in love with Eddie but he was certainly NOT in love with her. Mel did NOT live at his house although she told people she did. And it wasn’t a passionate relationship. They slept together just three times. That’s why he was stunned when she announced she was pregnant after they split. He truly did not believe it was his child. As they only had sex a few times, and she’d PROMISED she had a contraceptive coil fitted, Eddie was certain it couldn’t be his.”

The source explained how crazy Scary Spice was after she met Eddie:

“Right from the moment she was introduced to Eddie she was infatuated and started to tell her friends she was going to marry him. It was clear Mel was desperate to be like Posh Spice and wanted a high profile catch like David Beckham. She wanted the fame and the fortune and more than anything she wanted a wealthy, A-list husband. Getting involved with Mel was the worst mistake Eddie ever made and he’ll regret it for the rest of his life. He’s eaten away by bitterness and is convinced she’s trying to ruin him. Mel said all the problems would go away if Eddie agreed to her demands for a $9million house in Malibu plus living expenses for 18 years.”

As far as a relationship with his daughter Angel:

“Of course he will pay to support Angel - at the moment it’s $15,000 a month - but he refuses to be part of her life right now because he doesn’t want anything to do with Mel. Things got so ugly between them Eddie even had his lawyer send her lawyer a letter accusing her of extortion - he thinks she’s been rubbishing his name in order to make him cave in to her outlandish financial demands.”

The source also claims that Mel B gave birth to Angel early on purpose just so she could share the same birthday with Eddie:

“Angel was due on April 15th but Eddie’s birthday is on April 3rd and he firmly believes she purposely made an appointment to have a premature Caesarean section so that she could give birth that day. He says Mel wanted to have another tie to him and this was her sick way of doing it. Now he says he’ll never again be able to enjoy his birthday as he’ll just be thinking of all the hurt she’s caused him. It’s all so sad because there’s an innocent little girl involved here but Eddie is adamant that the two of them mean nothing to him - and I can’t see a time when he’ll ever forgive Mel. Eddie says when Angel is old enough to start asking about her dad, then he’ll meet her. But only if that ever happens. He’s still so angry and I think he always will be.”

Based on Eddie’s recent split from Tracey Edmonds, I would not be inclined to believe this source. Even if the claims are true, Eddie’s still a jerk for not wanting to meet his baby. He could be a man and put his angry feelings aside just so his little girl could have her father in her life. No matter what, Mel B didn’t get pregnant by herself and she could’ve gotten pregnant even if they only had sex once. Duh! If he wanted to make sure she didn’t get pregnant, he should’ve used a condom (maybe the Beckham brand?).
