Sure she made a mistake trusting him but who hasn’t ever made mistakes on trusting someone? Give her a break.

aw, i just adore mel, what a woman, what a role model.

someone said something above, about eddie’s new lady, and how she should encourage him to step up. i can’t imagine doing some of the things i hear about celebrities/people doing… my boyfriend’s ex is pregnant, and swears it’s his. when he first told me, he was on a “i don’t know if she’s mine” kick. i said to him, “did you sleep with her? do you have any reason to suspect she was with someone else?” No and no. So, I’m happy to say that he is now much more involved in this baby-to-be’s life, and I’m very proud. If only we all lived by the golden rule.

Madam Pince, I’m really sorry you and your daughter had to endure that. That said, I think this is different. It isn’t as if they are co-parenting and she’s deliberatly setting Angel up to hate him by being vile in public. The man has refused to acknowledge the child and be a presence in her life. While I absolutely DO NOT agree with trashing a parent to a child, I also think she has a right to publicly defend herself since he used the forum to attempt to discredit her. She hasn’t called him names and she hasn’t been nasty, she’s just said exactly what happened in her estimation. Given his track record with the eldest two of his children, it’s more likely that what she’s saying is true. He really took a swipe at her by basically implying she was promiscuous, and I believe he would have kept on going if DNA hadn’t shut him down made him look stupid. I do hope now that she’s defended herself she lets this go through the courts as quietly as possible. There isn’t much Eddie can come out and say now that won’t make him look worse, so there’s no more need for public statements from her. Lets all hope she can concentrate on raising her daughters in the anonymity she they deserve.

So she made a “choice” to have a baby with a man who has only been divorced since April 06 and decided to have a baby who was born about a year later? Was their relationship serious? I mean you have to also take responsibility for your own choices in life as well. I am sure Eddie could of promised her things and could of told her he wanted more children but then again I would just decide to have a baby with someone unless I had been going out with him for a long time and know for sure this is something I want to do. What kind of father is he to his other kids?

I feel bad for Mel B. that she has to go through this and think Eddie is being a jerk, however I can’t put the full blame on him when Mel B. should of perhaps took some time to evaluate the relationship as well as Eddie himself. JMO

I think this mess is more Mel’s fault than it is Eddie’s. Crocodiles don’t purr, and she expected one to. Having unrealistic expections of someone is more the fault of the person WITH the expectations.

Her getting pregnant on purpose and THEN telling him that he needed to change for her is like jumping into a swimming pool when someone promises there will be water in it by the time you hit bottom. You’re supposed to wait for the water, not ask for it when you’re mid-air.

Madame Prince… I agree with your comment about Tracey Edmonds. What on earth is that woman thinking?!

i just cannot force myself to believe her story. i mean, they were dating for few months only and he already has 5 children. or maybe he just wasn’t involved in ‘planning’ ?

Lila, I completely agree with you. While everyone else is praising Mel for being so “open and honest,” the first thought in my mind was, “You meet a guy who just got divorced, has five children with his ex-wife plus two others, you’ve been together for six months if that-and you decide you’re going to be responsible for creating human life with this person?” Why does Mel not own any responsibility for taking Eddie’s word as gospel and not choosing to take things more slowly. She said herself that there were lifestyle changes Eddie was going to have to make for them to live together, and still she willingly chose to have a child with him? If she waited a little longer before choosing to start a family with a new man, she might have actually seen that in the long run, things weren’t going to work out. Honestly, this is the kind of reasoning teenagers use when they get pregnant: “Well, he told me he loved me and promised me we’d be together forever and get married! *Sob.” Please. I’d have expected an older woman who already had a child and was divorced to know better.

Mel says she is smart, so y was she s quick to remove her IUD? She says she was conscious about keeping the relationship private & shielding her daughter..so was she not aware that he was going thru a divorce? He was not in the best state.

Have sex fine, but I think she removed the IUD to soon.
