Stephen Belafonte is reportedly preparing to show footage of his estranged wife Mel B doing cocaine in court.
According to The Sun, the 42-year-old has ‘at least one’ video of the former Spice Girl with the drug, as well as a number of others showing the pair having threesomes with family nanny Lorraine Gilles.
Insiders close to the producer claim he is keen to show the videos in court in order to ‘clear up’ his reputation, following his messy divorce battle with Mel, 42.

Sources told the paper that Stephen, who has already claimed Mel had an addiction to drink and drugs, plans on showing the footage in court, which sees the pair arguing while Belafonte holds up a packet of white powder.
Only adding to their bitter feud, Stephen is also believed to have a video of the pair engaging in a threesome with Lorraine – after Mel denied sexual intimacy between the group, and instead accused her ex of an affair.
A source told the paper: ‘Stephen says he has at least one video showing Mel with cocaine.’

MailOnline has contacted Mel’s representatives for comment.
Mel and Stephen’s divorce has been raging on for several months – with the pop star recently facing a felony investigation after allegedly trying to intimidate a witness in the bitter battle.
However, it was announced earlier this month that Mel was not to be prosecuted for texts sent to rapper Siya Sherman because the messages sent were ‘too vague’ to be classed as threats.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney confirmed to MailOnline they will also not move forward with the case because the messages don’t show the former Spice Girl, 42, was aware Siya was going to testify against her.

The rapper is reportedly expected to testify Belafonte never abused Mel B and that the singer was in control when they had threesomes during their marriage says TMZ.
Mel B allegedly sent the texts earlier in the month, before Siya filed a police report leading to a felony witness intimidation investigation being opened.
Sources close to Mel B had denied any allegations of witness intimidation. Mail Online has contacted reps for Mel B for comment,
Meanwhile, earlier this week a judge in Los Angeles denied a request by Mel to seal all records in her divorce and restraining order cases and keep the courtroom closed.
The decision was reported by TMZ on Tuesday.

The website had previously claimed the former Spice Girl wanted the proceedings kept secret because she’s worried her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte will expose explicit sex tapes as evidence.
Mel B argued that she doesn’t want her children to find out about the tapes but the judge ruled that ‘salacious details’ are not sufficient reason to seal a case, according to TMZ.
However, anything directly relating to the couple’s children such as visitation schedules will not be revealed in open court.
The former couple were pictured looking stony-faced as they arrived separately for a court hearing on Friday as their bitter legal battle drags on.

Mel has three children, including 17-year-old Phoenix Chi, whose father is her first husband Jimmy Gulzar and 10-year-old Angel Iris, who was fathered by her former lover, actor Eddie Murphy.
She also has a six-year-old daughter Madison with Belafonte.
The former couple are also battling over custody of their daughter and Belafonte has requested visitation rights to see step-daughter Angel.
The couple’s marriage fell apart after she filed for divorce amid claims her husband had been sleeping with the family nanny Lorraine Gillies behind her back.
She has also alleged her husband impregnated the 26-year-old, paid for an abortion and set up a sham marriage so she could stay in the US.
