Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown‘s daughter Phoenix, 12, has filed a battery police report against her father, Jimmy Gulzar.
Melanie and Gulzar were married from 1998 to 2000. The entertainer has primary custody of Phoenix and her ex-husband has visitation four times a month.
According to a sworn affidavit filed on October 11, Gulzar refused to let Phoenix leave his house after his custodial time had ended.
Police were called to enforce the court order, which led to a standoff that lasted for several hours before the distraught child was finally released.
Law enforcement officers took Phoenix to a police station where she was interviewed. The police report contains the following, “Victim is suspect’s daughter. Susp has visitation rights w/daughter. When daughter attempted to leave susp’s house to return to mother’s home, susp grabbed vict’s arm refusing to let her leave.”
Melanie and her husband Stephen Belafonte have since packed up her three children and have headed to the land down under where she is shooting Australian X Factor.
