Mel B's ex-husband Stephen Belafonte could be probed by British cops over the Spice Girl's claims he harassed her.
Belafonte, an American film producer, allegedly harassed her while he was in the UK last week - police are investigating the incident, the Sun reported.
Mel B's ex-husband was in the UK visiting, and brough their daughter Madison, 12, along so she could visit her mother.
But sources told the newspaper that the former singer was forced to call the cops in North Yorkshire, alleging he was exhibiting intimidating behaviour.
A source said a drone was flown over her home, and she was served with a lawsuit writ via messenger, despite it already being with her solicitor.
They added: 'Mel believes that it amounted to harassment by Belafonte.'

Stephen and Mel, both 49, were married from 2007 to 2017. The Spice Girl has accused Stephen of physical and emotional abuse over the years, and claimed that financial abuse left her with just £700 to her name when they split.
Appearing on Loose Women in March, Mel B revealed that five years after leaving Stephen, she still suffered from panic attacks and PTSD, and had previously tried to end her marriage six or seven times.
Speaking on Loose Women, Mel made an appearance on the show during their Facing It Together campaign, which aims to raise awareness of domestic abuse.
Over the years, Mel B has accused him of physical, emotional, and financial abuse, claims he denies.
Mel told the panel that she was reluctant to leave Stephen as she had completely ostracised herself from her family.
She said: 'Even though I was in my marriage for ten years I tried to leave six or seven times. I went back due to fear or blackmail.
'You think ''what am i going to do if I leave, I haven't spoken to my mum in weeks, then its month, then years.'' It happens so gradually.'
'You feel like you're doing everything wrong and they encourage that feeling. I went from living in a mansion in LA to my mum's bungalow with my kids.'
