Eddie Murphy is the prime example of a deadbeat.

mel is a gold digger her spice girl career was over long time ago.Eddie ain't even a good looking man and he is gay you can tell the only reason he is remarrying is because he has to keep his public image. and tracey gold digger as well look up history on how she met babyface, her mom set that one up.they are all out to use one another as far as i'm concerned.

OK, Mel B had a baby in April (a planned baby from the man she was in love with (Eddie Murphy). ME THINKS THOW DOTH PROTEST TO MUCH MEL B! How did she have a baby in April, and then get married to some guy in June???? Do the math. So, she is nursing, going thru that awful after pregnancy thing, and found time to date, and marry in less than 2 months???? Hmmmm......Something tells me Mr. Scary Spice was there before which is why Eddie Murphy did not believe her filthy lies and wanted a paternity test. Eddie had his wife and family and Scary Spice saw Eddie as a meal ticket and Eddie is tooooo smart for that. No Way would Eddie EVER be a dead beat Dad, but Scary Spice sure has proven to be a low-class, gold-digging, wh*** who is milking this for all it is worth and how ironic before they all go on tour again! Scary Spice is exactly that--SCARY AND SHE SHOULD SHUT UP.

Most of you seriously need a LOBOTOMY.

Eddie Murphy publicly cheated on his wife Nicole countless times with prostitutes (thereby ending their 12-year marriage), dumped Mel B while she once she got pregnant and immediately started dating Tracey Edmonds (whom he is now engaged to, after dating for 5 months). In fact, it was during the Oscar telecast when he first announced to tv cameras that he was seeing Tracy, and in the same breath denied being the father of Angel Iris, when the question was brought up. Astonishing. (Reporters couldn't do a follow-up with him later, as he quickly stormed out of the auditorium in the middle of the telecast, once he lost his award, dragging poor Tracey along with him - real classy.)

And really, most of you think that Mel B is the villain here? That she should have simply "kept her legs and her mouth shut", more or less? I hate to break it to you people, but Eddie is a grade-A a**hole and has been for a very LONG time. HE should get himself "fixed" if he doesn't want to have any more kids (he's got SEVEN now - with THREE different women) The guy ain't hurting for money, and can at least be a MAN and own up to his responsibilities.

Eddie has responded and it is extremely disparaging of Mel B. He says that Mel assured him she was on birth control and exposed that she was out of money and trying to latch on to his gravy train to shore up her negative bank account. Well? Also alluded to the fact that her new husband is not the offspring of Harry Belafonte which assumed was his father.

First, not only is there a raging war going on, but there are also many parts of the Constitution being shredded, too. So, certainly, there are many other important issues of the day. Granted.

My interest in this is not because of Eddie and Mel, per se. But more from the point that there are millions of children that grow up isolated, unloved, low-esteemed, and just generally screwed up due to situations like this. Myself being one of them....

Again, I'm not letting the men in these situations off. I'm only saying that for 34 years women have demanded (and been legally granted) the right to control their own bodies. But, they only speak of another interested party after THEY decide whether to have that child. If Eddie did not want the child, tough bleep. But, if Mel didn't want it, it'd still be tough bleep for Eddie - she could not have it without his consent. SHE is in total control of the situation.

To me, exercising her government established right to child support from the father of the child directly enriches HER - causing what should be a serious conflict. Obviously, from the hiring (of all people) Gloria Alred, she is not intending to ask for mere "support" of the child's needs. She is going for the jugular. Using what as her weapon, you ask? THE CHILD. That, disgusts me. And, this child is far from being on welfare to be "taken care of by the taxpayer" regardless of what Eddie does or not. Mel B is quite capable of taking the FULL responsibility of her "choice" in the same way she made her decision - ON HER OWN!!!!!

Excuse me, but isn't it supposed to happen the other way around? You say your vows, make it official and then start a family.

Oh yes T-Rex tried to say that last week and they attacked her. Mel wouldn't be in this mess if she had held that thought.

Get over it already. Gloria Allred is a total ass-wipe. Who cares about any of these people. They obviously like publicity and money most of all. What does that say about them?

FOR THE MOM...

I am sure that Eddie is going to be financially responsible BUT that is the only thing Mel can make him do. She knows who the father is, she can not force to do anything else but make him pay child support. She is coming out in public looking more interested in wanting her life with Eddie - but to her surprise he does not love her. She needs to keep this child issues private for her daughters sake.
Yes, Eddie should have capped it if he did not want more children but she also should have crossed it - if they were not in a committed or long term relationship.

Oh yeah this is how bright she is - I bet she made a mistake in marrying this other guy - up until now she never mentioned before. She is looking like a moron.

Silence needs to be her best defense right now......

ALL YOU PEOPLE BASHING HER ARE F****ING IDIOTS!!!!!!!! HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CHILD, BOTTOM LINE, IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO IF HE DIDN'T WANT A KID MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE WRAPPED IT UP, HE IS PATHETIC ALL HE IS IS A BREEDER WHO MAKES KIDS ALL OVER AND DOES NOTHING TO BE THERE DAD, HE WILL KNOCK UP THIS NEW ONE AND LEAVE HER TOO, IT IS HYSTERICAL THAT YOU ARE BASHING HER AS THOUGH SHE IS AT FAULT, UM HELLO SHE COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN PREGNANT WITHOUT HIS SPERM IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!

No, you hold on there, hey now.....if a woman lives into her thirties and has figured out how NOT to have children to that point, she knows how to protect herself from an unwanted pregnancy.

Now, before you protest, I'm not letting the man off the proverbial hook. But, I am saying that two consenting adults (with the woman reserving the right to "choose") don't consent without some type of agreement. You know, what time are we hooking up? Who's gonna bring the condoms? Who's on birth control? What kind of relationship is this? Serious, or just fun? Etc., etc.

These are adults. Certainly, if she'd said oh I don't know something like, "Eddie, I'm not on any sort of birth control and this is my most fertile time of the month....one contact with you sperm will probably impregnate me", then HE could've taken that responsibility.

However, if she said, "I've been on the pill for 20 years and have no intention of having ANYONE'S child. I'm allergic to latex and I understand that we're not on that level" then she is agreeing to the construct of whatever their arrangement was and should abide by that.

It is obvious by the turn of events that he "should've" protected himself. But, it seems to me that he trusted that he was in a consenting situation with another adult responsible enough to handle that situation and respect his desire not to have any children. Comments like "he should've insisted" or "it takes two" are ALWAYS in hindsight and never deal with what the agreement between the two consenting adults was.

Funny, you never hear women say that a man should insist on using protection BEFORE they're pregnant. Maybe because that's the time that they're too busy saying, "oh, you don't need a condom, I'm protected".

This isn't Eddie's fault. She's supposed to take care of birth control and obviously she didn't. I feel so sorry that Eddie is getting dragged though the ringer on this. I do hope she was good so that at least he has something to show for this.

Yeah, it takes two, but protect yourself from becoming pregnant with a guy you've known for less than 6 months. My God, does anyone have any shame anymore??

hold on a second, "deadbeat dad". While I too wonder how sincere Ms. Brown's intentions are- it takes two to tangle. Mr. Murphy should have insisted on using protection if he was certain he did not want more children; he should NOT have taken her word that she was protected from pregnancy.

Oh puhleeeeze.....It never ceases to amaze me how women claim the "right to choose" as a sole right belonging ONLY to them - as it is THEIR body that's involved with whichever decision is made. However, once a woman "chooses" to have a child - 10 minutes after delivery she's looking for the first child support check. I thought "GIRL POWER" was about women being empowered? How powerful is it to be chasing down a rich man for money and begging him to be a real father to the child you both know/knew he didn't want?

Look, Ms. Brown, YOU started shagging a newly divorced father of five. He (quite believably) claims that he was clear about NOT wanting to have anymore children. Still, YOU consented to having unprotected sex with him after 4 months of dating and, SURPRISE, got pregnant.

Like many women, you've made the "choice" to have bring a child into this world in a situation other than that of a part of a loving, committed family. I commend you for this, I'm sure it was not easy. However, now that you've made that "choice" - on your own and, apparently, against his will - you should be willing to live with the consequences of that "choice".

Whatever you do, please stop this ridiculous publicity tour designed to garner support for your child support petition against him (why else would she be on Larry King?). To me, it only exposes you as one of the many millions of women that use their illegitimate children as tools in the ongoing battle with the men they hate. Hiring Gloria Alred is also VERY suspect. In the end, this behavior only damages everyone involved. You, the father, and - especially - the child you would claim to care so much about.
