Mel B Claims She Can't Find Work in the United States

Mel B is opening up about her work struggles.

As the expiration date for her work visa draws closer, the 44-year-old Spice Girls singer is ready to head back to the United Kingdom so she can find steady work again, The Blast reports.

In new court documents, Mel claims she is having trouble finding steady work since her judging gig on America’s Got Talent ended last year.

“My United States Visa expires in February 2020. I will not be permitted to work or live in the United States after that point,” the documents read. “During my marriage to Stephen [Belafonte], we lived in Los Angeles, where I worked. However, all of my sources of income in the United States have been exhausted. My contract on the show, ‘America’s Got Talent,’ ended in September of 201 8 after several years of my participation. I have not had steady income in the U.S. for over a year.”

Also revealed in the court documents, Mel is requesting a custody agreement change regarding 8-year-old daughter Madison, who she shares with ex-husband Stephen.

Mel is requesting that she move her daughter from California to England with her.

“As the court is well aware, my marriage to Stephen was unhealthy,” Mel continued in the docs. “I was subjected to years of verbal and sexual abuse by Stephen, which included his active isolation of my daughters and me (including Madison) from my home and family in the United Kingdom.”

Mel currently has primary custody of Madison with gets overnight custody every Wednesday, as well as every other weekend.
