Mel B Insists She's Straight but Went Through a Lesbian Phase: "I Was One of Those"

Mel B may be happily married to husband Stephen Belafonte—but that doesn't mean the former Spice Girl hasn't sexually experimented in her past.

During a recent appearance on Alan's Carr: Chatty Man, the America's Got Talent and X-Factor U.K. judge revealed that she has previously had romantic relationships with women, although she insisted she is not a lesbian. 

Speaking about straight women who have also had same-sex relationships, Mel B (via Daily Mail) said, "Yeah. I was one of those for a few years." 

Asked by Carr if she would consider herself a lesbian, the singer replied, "I would not call it that. I was just one of those ladies. Now I'm happily married."

The 39-year-old beauty also opened up about The X Factor U.K. during her chat and couldn't help but spill a few secrets about her naughty side. 

"I do drawings of stuff that get me into trouble a lot," she admitted. "I show it off to Cheryl [Fernandez-Versini] and she laughs and I show it to Louis [Walsh] and he goes, 'Wow, yeah.'"

She added: "I will have to ban myself from having paper now as you now all bloody know."

In addition to dishing on her X-rated X Factor antics, the TV personality told Carr about the time when she had an impromptu business meeting with a half-naked Simon Cowell. 

"His dressing room is stunning," she said of the X Factor boss. "It is like what Liberace would have. He has got a bath, it is gorgeous.

"I was sitting there with a cup of tea and he walked out of his bathroom with his towel on and he said, 'Oh, hello darling, I have just come out of the bath,'" she continued. "I said, 'Can we talk about the show please?' He just sat there in his towel."

Last year, during an appearance on Howard Stern, Mel B—after admitting she has kissed all of her Spice Girls bandmates—was asked whether she considers herself to be a role model for gays and lesbians. The question prompted Eddie Murphy's ex rip off her mic and storm out of her interview.
