A bombshell video allegedly filmed by America’s Got Talent judge Mel B showing her ex Stephen Belafonte having sex with another woman has been submitted as evidence in the couple’s bitter divorce battle, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The sordid recording will be entered into court in among more than 2,100 exhibits Belafonte’s legal team plan to present at the domestic abuse trial later this month.
The video, one of dozens to be submitted, is marked as exhibit 174 in court documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
It’s described in the paperwork as: ‘Video clip, date currently unknown (Petitioner filming sex between Respondent and female).’
The Petitioner in the case is Mel B, while the Respondent is Belafonte.
Mel B is alleged to have shot a video of husband Stephen Belafonte having sex with another woman, court documents reveal
The identity of the mystery woman involved in the sex tape isn’t known, but both Mel B and Belafonte have admitted to having threesomes with their German nanny Lorraine Gilles among others.
DailyMail.com understands that the sex video, in which Mel is allegedly the cameraman, is intended to dispel the star’s allegations that Belafonte forced her to have threesomes with other women.
Mel has claimed in court papers that her ex forced her to ‘participate in sexual intercourse with him and random women.’
The singer suggested that during their marriage, she was coerced into trysts that he secretly recorded and later used as ammunition against her, threatening to release as sex tapes ‘if she tried to resist the threesomes’.
Mel says she begged him to delete the tapes.
In the newly filed court documents an amended witness list has also been included.
And Belafonte plans to bring in a rapper called Siya Sherman to testify about Mel’s alleged drug use.
She’s one of 18 witnesses Belafonte’s lawyers plan to call and next to her name it states: ‘Ms. Sherman will testify to her personal observations of the interaction and dynamics between Petitioner and Respondent during the time period of 2012 – 2013, as well as Petitioner’s use of illicit narcotics during the same period.’

It’s believed recording artist Sherman, 30, is a long-time friend of the couple.
Earlier this week DailyMail.com revealed text messages filed in court that showed former Spice Girl Mel, 42, was addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
Also on the witness list is the couple’s nanny Lorraine Gilles – currently embroiled in a defamation suit with Mel – and the singer’s ex-husband, and father of her eldest daughter Phoenix Chi, 18, Jimmy Gulzar.
A stripper who publicly revealed she had a threesome with Mel and Belafonte in Australia is also listed.
According to the paperwork exotic dancer Siara Diande will testify as to the ‘circumstances surrounding the sexual interaction between Petitioner, Respondent and herself, in or about early November 2010’.
Diande, 32, has previously revealed she bedded the pair after catching their eye at a strip club in Kings Cross, Sydney.
During the threesome she said Belafonte was a ’gentle giant’ while Mel was the boss in the relationship.
She told an Australian news site that Belafonte was ‘really nice and respectful’ and that Mel B ‘didn’t seem to mind’.
‘I got the impression that it is Mel that wears the pants and is the boss in the relationship,’ she said.

Other witnesses listed in the papers include former assistants of the couple, security guards, accountants, an entertainment agent and even a waiter at a high end restaurant in London.
Waiter Sonny Scibilia witnessed Belafonte getting into a fight with three men at the luxury five star May Fair Hotel in October 2010. One man was left needing hospital treatment following the incident.
Mel later jumped to her husband’s defense publicly claiming he was only acting in her defense and it’s believed Scibilia will back this up while alleging Mel sparked the brawl.
The huge exhibit list also includes hundreds of text messages exchanged between Mel and Belafonte.
It also includes texts sent to their nanny Lorraine Gilles and messages Mel sent to her former husband Jimmy Gulzar during her marriage to Belafonte.
Mom-of-three Mel has daughter Madison, six, with Belafonte, Angel, 10, with Hollywood star Eddie Murphy and Phoenix Chi,18, with ex Gulzar.
Mel was granted a temporary restraining order against Belafonte on April 3 after accusing him of physically and emotionally abusing her during their 10 year marriage.
She alleged that she was ‘in fear’ for her life after a series of beatings and that Belafonte’s alleged abuse ramped up when her career was on an upswing.
But Belafonte has vehemently denied the claims and sources say he plans to discredit Mel with a barrage of allegedly damning evidence in court.

A 16-day trial has been scheduled for September 25 to hammer out Mel’s request for a permanent restraining order against her ex.
A source close to the couple told DailyMail.com: ‘Stephen is ready for the fight of his life to clear his name of the horrific allegations that Melanie has made against him.
‘He never wanted it to go this far, he was happy for an amicable split to get on with their lives and continue co-parenting. Now he’s having to fight for his reputation and the right to see his daughter Madison and step-daughter Angel.’
In a statement released to ET on Thursday Mel spoke out saying she ‘refused to be a victim.’
‘I have remained silent these past six months for the sake of my children,’ her statement read.
‘I refuse to be a victim any longer and trust the legal process to show the truth.’
This comes a week after shocking text messages sent between Mel, Belafonte and their marriage therapist Dr Charles Sophy, revealed Mel battled a cocaine and alcohol addiction and that her kids witnessed her taking the drug.
In a bombshell legal declaration by Belafonte Mel was said to have a ‘habitual and consistent’ addiction to the cocaine and alcohol.
The declaration details the bitter fall out between the couple after they separated and how Belafonte feared for the ‘safety’ of the three children.
In the declaration, Belafonte said: ‘The biggest reason for my concern with respect to the safety of the children was due to the Petitioner’s habitual and consistent addiction to and abuse of cocaine and alcohol.
‘To make matters worse, my fear for the children’s safety was amplified due to the fact that Petitioner had fired the children’s nanny, who had been in the children’s lives sine 2010 and I did not want Petitioner using drugs and drinking around the children especially without anyone else present to care for the children.
‘Petitioner’s drinking and drug abuse had been a major issue throughout our marriage and was witnessed by the nanny, the children, and her own therapist, Dr Sophy.’
The revealing three-way text message exchanges came at the height of their troubles shortly after they had separated in March 2017.
The texts reveal how Mel agreed to take a daily dose of prescription drug Antabuse to tackle her alcoholism, which according to Dr Sophy, would prove she would be ‘safe’ around her kids.
Antabuse is a drug used in the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol (drinking alcohol), making the user feel the effects of a hangover almost immediately after drinking.
Belafonte, who shares daughter Madison with Mel, wants joint custody of the girl and has also requested visitation rights to see his step-daughter Angel, a product of an affair Mel had with Hollywood actor Eddie Murphy.
