Melanie "Mel B" Brown's restraining order against the nanny she
previously claimed had an affair with her estranged husband, Stephen
Belafonte, will remain in place, a Los Angeles judge ruled on Wednesday,
several outlets reported.
Brown, 41, initially requested the
temporary restraining order against Lorraine Gilles on April 11. The
order will reportedly remain in effect for five years.
At the
time, a judge ordered Gilles to remain 100 yards away from Brown, and
ordered her not to remove any property from a storage locker she claims
is under Gilles' name. Brown claimed the locker contained sex tapes that
featured the former Spice Girl, as well as photos of Gilles and
Belafonte, Spice Girls memorabilia and photos of her recently deceased
father.
According to TMZ, Brown visited the storage locker the same day, but came up empty.
Last week, Brown returned to work on America's Got Talent, following news that Belafonte was granted supervised visitation with the couple's only biological daughter, Madison.
A
Los Angeles judge ruled late last month that Brown's restraining order
against Belafonte - who appeared in court for the ruling - would remain
in place until the end of their divorce hearing, following Brown's
allegations that he beat, threatened and exploited her during their
nearly 10-year marriage.
However, Belafonte - who filed for joint custody of Madison - was
granted two, four-hour sessions with the 5-year-old per week at the Ness
Counseling Center in L.A.
Earlier this month, Brown was hit by a
lawsuit from Gilles, who claims she carried on a seven-year sexual
relationship with Brown.
Gilles is suing Brown for defamation,
stemming from the singer's claims in court documents that Belafonte had a
long-term affair with the nanny and once got her pregnant before
forcing her to get an abortion. Gilles previously confirmed she had an
abortion, but says the pregnancy was the result of a one-night stand,
something she confided in Brown about.
In the same court
documents, Brown alleged that Belafonte continually abused her and
further threatened to destroy her career by releasing sex tapes.
