Eddie Murphy sues Melanie Brown

Eddie Murphy is striking back against Melanie Brown issuing a cease-and-desist order commanding her to stop using his name in interviews.

The couple dated last year and the former ‘Spice Girl’ became pregnant. Before she gave birth to their daughter, Angel Iris, they split. Brown always maintained that the child was Murphy’s, and took legal action against him when he wouldn’t acknowledge he was the father.

 

Brown forced him to take a paternity test which proved Angel Iris was his. She now claims that he hasn’t paid any child support.

 

Murphy has not had much to say about the paternity case, but now he is firing back and accusing Brown of “disseminating disparaging, negative and defamatory statements.” He also claims that Brown demanded he buy her and Angel Iris a $9 million house in Malibu to live in the next 18 years.
