Who is Stephen Belafonte husband of Mel B? Criminal record, arrests, assault, deadly weapon

Stephen Belafonte, Stephen Bellafonte, Stephen Stansbury, Stephen Brian Stansbury, Mel B, Melanie Brown, Melanie Janine Brown, Madison Brown Stansbury, divorce, marriage, criminal record, assault, domestic violence, deadly weapon, jail, prison, fraud, evicted, con man, scammer

BREAKING STORY. CHECK BACK FOR FREQUENT UPDATES. Divorce documents at the bottom.

06/23/2017 Recent actions in divorce court. Stephen Belafonte asked for ridiculous sums of money for monthly support, i.e. $750/mo cell phone service, $4,300/mo groceries, $11,000/mo housing, $2,000/mo clothing... Mel said no. Judge will have to decide. Remember Stephen said he was a big wheeler dealer producer making big bucks before they got married. Did you lie? Yes. Then it's deceit and fraud. One could annul a marriage that way but there is still the kid.

The misspelling below is from the court, i.e. "testimoney."

04/21/2017 The nanny just sued Mel B for defamation for what Mel wrote in her legal documents. Legal documents are privileged. They can never be defamation. Nanny will lose.

04/11/2017 Stephen Belafonte is a real piece of work. This TMZ article states that Stephen and Mel's ex-nanny are trying to extort her. Stephen also got the nanny pregnant. Mel B got a restraining order on the nanny today.
_______________________

Stephen Belafonte real name Stephen Brian Stansbury gives many different stories about his life and history. He tells some he's the son of actor Harry Belafonte or nephew of singer Dionne Warwick. He is neither. Stephen was born May 18, 1975 in Pleasant Point, New Jersey. His mother is Sheryl Ann Dowell Stansbury born 1954. She is a school teacher in Shelby County, Tennessee school system. She is white. I believe this is an older photo of her. She had blond hair and light blue eyes. She is well loved by every member of her family. Stephen is not. Her parents are Daniel Emory Dowell and Charlotte Wilma Webbert listed as white on census documents and marriage certificates.

Sheryl Ann Dowell Stansbury

Stephen's father is black and his name is Kenneth B Stansbury sometimes goes by Kenneth Jackson, Kenneth B Jackson. He had a stepfather named Jackson. He seems to have changed his name after his alleged criminal behavior. Per newspapers Kenneth Stansbury has a criminal record which includes domestic violence, assault, threatening police... In 1968 when he was 21 he was charged with malicious mischief, fornication, using profanity and threatening a police officer. I hope people can see this link to the newspaper article.

https://www.newspapers.com/image/?spot=10124998

If not, here's the images of the article. The name, age and home address match.

He allegedly assaulted Georgia Pope. He kicked down her front door, used profanity and threatened her. When the police went to arrest him he refused to open the door and said "After I get you on the other side of the river, I'll put a bullet in you." The fornication complaint was signed by a 17 year old girl. Kenneth was a boxer in New Jersey Golden Gloves in 1964 after high school. He was charged with threatening to kill his father Theodore in 1965. That charge was dropped.

Below is a pic of his brother Charles who was one year older. Charles was on the basketball, Track, Cross Country, Hall Monitor, Italian Lab, Debate club, Speech club, Booster Club, college Michigan State University. His future plans are "To go to college and make good." Turns out Charles is in the Hall of Fame of Black Americans in New Jersey High School and is an author. Ken was also the black sheep of the family.

Stephen's grandfather Theodore also has a criminal history for adultery and not paying child support for three illegitimate children in 1945. That's why some of his sons are Stansbury and some are Jackson. He was then arrested for abandoning his wife. They hauled him back to his wife. He was also arrested for probation violations. It appears Stephen may have inherited his father's, grandfather's anger management issues and lack of good judgment either by nature or nurture. Still, the rest of his siblings are sane, productive people.

Stephen's six siblings are Hannah (1983), Jeremiah (1973), Ruth, Esther and twins Reuben and Daniel (1976). The Stansbury family lived at 2301 Pulaski Dr, Point Pleasant Borough, New Jersey 08742 during the '80's and '90's. Sheryl's mother lived at that address as well. I'm posting the address so you can see that it matches the criminal reports and newspaper articles.

Below is Stephen Stansbury's family tree to the best of my knowledge. I correlated known addresses, ages, dates with public records, newspaper articles and obituaries.

Stephen's brother Jeremiah went to Point Pleasant Borough High School in same borough in New Jersey. He looks like Stephen but with darker eyes. He graduated in 1992. Jeremiah later graduated from the University of Tennessee with an art degree. Jeremiah was arrested for trespassing when he was caught skateboarding on someone else's property July 1992. I can't believe they would arrest a kid just for skateboarding on someone else's property. I did that many times in abandoned pools and was never arrested. This was before skate parks. Jeremiah is now a successful artist in Oregon. He even warned Mel B about his brother. All of his siblings have darker eyes unlike Stephen who has blue eyes. I'm starting to wonder if it's real. His dad was BB. Mom was bb. They can only make a Bb baby which would have brown eyes unless there was a genetic incident.

Stephen appears to be the black sheep of the family. He's been arrested numerous times as a kid and adult in New Jersey and California. October 1992 Stephen was arrested at the age of 19 for possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana with intent to distribute, sell, possession of drug paraphernalia. Deputies found 100 grams of marijuana in 45 baggies during a traffic stop.

July 1994 at the age of 21 in New Jersey Stephen was arrested for burglary and theft of a stereo kicker box and an amplifier worth $600 from a vehicle in the high school lot. Stephen was taken to Ocean County jail, Toms River in lieu of $1,500 bail. He was charged with intent to sell stolen items.

He was arrested again in 2001 for trying to change his criminal record. That's probably why he changed his name.

1996 he was evicted for non payment of rent along with roommate Arina Cabral. 1997 another eviction against them. 1997 his ex-wife Nancy Ann Carmell filed for nullity of their short lived January 8, 1997 marriage in Clark County, Nevada. Oddly enough it's listed as "pending." Mel B could get lucky if the nullity was never finalized. That would mean she's not really married to Stephen. I sent that info to her lawyer. 1999 two more evictions which ended up default judgment and possession of premises.

January 12, 2001 Stephen Brian now Belafonte was arrested case # SA040815 along with Marlin Edward Cooper for vandalism, assault with a deadly weapon and throwing a substance at a vehicle in a road rage incident. He plead guilty to vandalism. His bond was $40,000. He was sentenced to 24 months of probation and Cal Trans trash pickup duty. He also had to pay for damage to the car. He violated his probation. There was a bench warrant, another probation violation, another bench warrant...This guy is a total loser.

May 13, 2003 he was arrested for vandalism and domestic violence. He was convicted of domestic violence. He was sentenced to 36 months of probation, 30 days in county jail, 20 days Cal Trans trash pickup, he had to pay restitution and take a domestic violence class. And of course he violated probation a few times, more bench warrants for his arrest ...

June 2007 Stephen marries Mel B in Clark County, Nevada. I doubt she checked out his real history. I doubt she would have married him if she knew all of these things especially his domestic violence conviction. She should go for nullity based on fraud and deceit.

Here are a few more cases only in one name in only Los Angeles County, California. He also uses the name Bellafonte. I have not found his legal name change. Generally convicted criminals are not allowed to change their name. The person has to state they are not a criminal when they change their name. Then the police check to verify.

Stephen tells people he graduated from Loyola University. I don't even see him graduating from high school. I'll continue looking. The only degree he may have is in BS, bull shit.

Here is the complaint in the divorce and restraining order case in Los Angeles. Seems her attorney knew about one of his NJ arrests but not the others for selling drugs and such.

Dylann Storm Roof, Dylann Roof, Bennett Roof, Charleston Church massacre - Mary Cummins, Los Angeles

June 18, 2015 Dylann Roof went into the Charleston Church, sat for 45 minutes of prayer then opened fire on the parishioners killing nine. Everyone's first reaction was extreme sorrow which turned into a compulsion to understand the motive for such a racist and senseless killing spree.

Dylann Storm Roof was born April 3, 1994 in South Carolina to father Franklin Bennett Storm and Amelia "Amy" Cowles. He had behavioral problems in middle school and had to repeat a grade. He dropped out of school after the ninth grade and never returned. Someone who drops out of school at this age obviously has major problems.

Dylann's father Benn Storm is a contractor. Based on divorce documents he was abusive to both of his wives. He was distant to his children. After his second wife left him there was no one to care about Dylann or his sister Amber. Because of Dylann's social and behavioral issues this had more of a profound effect on Dylann. Left alone he appears to have become depressed and angry. He directed his anger toward black people.

While his manifesto in his website ... UPDATE: Website is now gone. I saved it and had the web archive save a copy as well. Looks like six other people had the same idea. http://web.archive.org/web/20150620135047/http://lastrhodesian.com/data/documents/rtf88.txt says he wasn't raised in a racist environment I find it hard to believe he could have such strong racist hatred by himself. He states that whites are superior to blacks. I believe this most likely came from his father, relatives, friends. This is as stupid as saying a white piece of paper is superior to a black piece of paper.

While his manifesto gives us a tiny window into his thoughts and feelings it's still very hard to understand all his hatred. For him to go to a church and kill people as they prayed is just too difficult to understand or comprehend. While the relatives of the people who were killed forgave Dylann in court I do not feel forgiveness for this person. Something is very wrong for a young man to feel such racist hatred and then take it out on innocent people praying in a church.

He stated his goal was to cause a civil war. I can only hope his evil act instead opens up a deep conversation into how we can end racism in our country. I was fortunate to grow up in Los Angeles in the 1960's in a melting pot of races, cultures and religions. Only a couple of times did I see racism in elementary school. I saw none in high school. I did see quite a bit in college at USC but it went both ways. I hope we can use this tragedy to end racism in our country so more innocent people will not have to die.

Below is a screen capture of his website.

I have always been against racism for many reasons. The first is from a very early experience as a young child. My best friend growing up as a little kid was black. I would tell my Nana how great my school friend was. My Nana said I should ask my friend to a sleep over and I did. When she arrived my Nana saw she was black and sent her away. I was so upset crying and did not understand. Another family member said my Nana was racist and racism was wrong. They probably used different words as I was only six. Next day at school I was worried my friend would not want to be my friend any more after my Nana sent her away. She came up to me and said her mom explained it all and we could still be friends. I was relieved. I didn't really understand what racism was until years later. I still don't understand how people can be racist. Try as I might I could never convince my Nana that racism was wrong. She also thought gays were sinners then refused to believe Liberace whom she adored was gay.

The second reason has to do with my Mexican grandmother. My grandmother was born in Mexico in 1899 in the Federal District of Tacubaya. My grandmother raised me here in Los Angeles, California. I thought I was 100% Mexican. I know, blonde hair, white skin, green eyes. I was five and didn't realize that I didn't "look" Mexican even though I was part Mexican. I didn't realize people thought that Mexican means brown skin. When I was about six my Nana told me not to speak Spanish outside of the house. This was my first inkling that Mexicans were not thought to be the best people. To be a Mexican was to be ashamed.

Growing up I heard people say horrible things about Mexicans. They are lazy, alcoholics, criminals, rapists and gang members. None of my relatives were anything like that. I took offense when they said these things to me. Looking white they assumed I must also hate Mexicans and blacks? I heard the most racist things imaginable from college and on from other people about blacks, mexicans, arabs, asians.... I even had one guy from my gym say "we pure whites must stick together. Our race has been muddied by other races." WTH?

Donald Trump announced his run for presidency a few days ago. It his announcement speech he bashed Mexicans! From the mouth of Donald Trump,

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."

While I most certainly would have never voted for Trump his racist remarks about Mexicans make it so I never want to see him speak again. There is no room for racism in the United States. We are a mix of many different cultures, ethnicities, religions, languages.... We left Europe to start our own country here so we could be equal and free or at least that was the goal. Instead we dominated the natives, dominated other races and cultures that moved to America and we had African slaves. In reality we just didn't want to be dominated by British rule. We wanted to be able to be the dominator of others which we did. Racism is still alive and strong in the US. This is why I'm so against racism.
