The singer has reportedly filed documents asking for her ongoing legal battle with her estranged husband to be sealed from the public in a bid to protect her children.
The website claims that she stated: ‘While [Stephen] may enjoy the media attention, the minor child of this marriage did not ask to be placed in the center of this mounting storm.’

Mel has claimed that Lorraine was having an affair with her then husband but Gilles launched the defamation case saying that while she did have sex with Belafonte and had an abortion, her main lover was in fact Mel.
Gilles claims in legal docs that Mel seduced her when she was aged just 18 and they had a seven-year sexual relationship.
Mel has hit back saying Stephen paid the nanny ‘in excess’ of $300,000 over three years for her work.

She says Lorraine was made pregnant by Belafonte in 2014 and that he used her money to pay for Gilles to have an abortion.
Lorraine says Mel has made her out to be ‘a homewrecker, prostitute, and extortionist.’
In legal documents she said that Mel ‘seduced a naive and a curious 18-year-old foreign exchange student … with alcohol, fame, and casual sex.’
She says: ‘Belafonte was not present during most of the sexual encounters’ and that when she and Belafonte did have sex, it would be filmed by Mel.

She added that her ‘sexual and employment relationship with Brown continued for approximately seven years.’
She also says she ‘personally witnessed both Brown and Belafonte bring different women into their home and engage in group sex on multiple occasions.’
Gilles also says she became pregnant as a result of a one-night stand with another man, not from having sex with Belafonte, and she did have an abortion.
She claims to have confided this with Mel and that Mel helped arrange for her to have the abortion and care for her afterwards.

Gilles is seeking unspecified damages and is suing for libel, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Mel’s divorce battle with Belafonte is also ongoing after announcing the end of her ten-year marriage in March.
He denies inflicting years of mental and physical abuse on her during their time together.
The couple and their reps are set to face each other in the coming weeks over access to their daughter, Madison, five.
Eddie Murphy, father of Mel’s daughter Angel, ten, could also be drawn into the battle after a judge said that Belafonte could apply to see the little girl who he says regards him as a father figure.
Belafonte is currently allowed to see daughter Madison but only under heavy supervision.
Court hearings have also heard that Mel has wiped out much of her $50million fortune thanks to an extravagant lifestyle.
The full divorce hearing takes place on September 25.
