As most people are probably aware Mel B was taken ill and hospitalised, meaning that she had to miss the X Factor final last night. The official line given is that she has a stomach ulcer, however Mel's sister Danielle has now taken to Twitter to attack Mel's husband and accuse of him withholding information from them, she's also made thinly veiled accusations that he may have harmed her in some way.
I know there was a falling out between Mel her mum and sister some years ago, which is a shock as she always seemed close to her family back in her Spice Girls days. Her husband seems like a bit of a knob, sounds like he's isolated her from family doesn't it.
Not a nice situation, hope it's resolved. Must be awful for her mum.

Saddest thing is her mum not seeing her grandkids her mum always seemed nice.
The mail (sorry don't know how to add links ) are reporting she'll be back for the final.
Call my a cynic but publicity has always been a huge a driving force for the x factor ;-)
to be honest she doesn't look 100% on tonights show.
Do we know if her family have commented?
1. Another one of Cowell's endless (and thoroughly counter-productive) publicity stunts.
2. Too much Coke.
To be fair, she was bang on the money with that one. Let that be a warning to you - do not marry a man who insists on wearing a gold suit and a white Stetson.
He was up on charges of beating up an ex before he got with Mel B so he was violent in the past

Check out the #whyIstayed for all the millions of reasons people stay.
That said some of the bruises/scratches could be from IV lines or taking blood samples and banging her face if she fainted or something is not beyond the realms of possibility.
Something is going on - whether it's a family feud, getting caught up in a crisis and forgetting to let people know, something more sinister only they know. Probably happening in 100s of families without access to twitter.
Well I fainted in the loo and fell on hard tiles, ended up with bruises on the side of my face, then I was collected by ambulance and had IVs put in, I was in shock so they could not find my veins and I can only say, by the end of it all, I looked like I had been beaten up and possibly a drug addict!!!!! So looks can be deceptive, especially if you had an emergency situation. Who knows what happened to Mel B. It seems she is happy to discuss all aspects of her private sex life but not discuss her health problem! I
Well it is one way of forcing the issue regarding contact within the family. No doubt Mel does not like to see her family making statements to the media about their fights. Sadly, often fall outs within families can be very spiteful and nasty. Just ask Coleen Nolan!!
Yeah. It just seems spiteful and nasty. Of eg she is a victim of DV, her family tweeting about it and the whole nation speculating it is not going to help her. It will force her into an uncomfortable, maybe unsafe corner she shouldn't be forced into.
Yep, very passive aggressive. After I stopped contact with my mother I'd get letters & answer phone messages trying to force contact - along the lines of 'if you don't get in touch, I'll take that to mean you want me to call you' But at least that was private, not playing out a private matter on public social media and the press.
I don't much like Mel B but I do hope she and the children are safe & well. And if this is typical behaviour from her 'family' then I am not surprised she wants nothing to do with them - especially if they are questioning her parenting publicly with 'are the kids ok' type tweets. They seem very manipulative, controlling and opinionated. Which is a real shame IF there is something untoward in the marriage as she'll have no family support.
I just hope her and her children can remain safe and well and whatever's happened is resolved and she/they get the best care possible.
I totally agree anyone can be the victim of DV, how bolshy you are is irrelevant, however, I don't think people are being intentionally offensive, more a lack of understanding.
Genuinely.... I find commenting with a "lack of understanding" to be "offensive"...
To all those slating her mother and sister.... what should they be doing in that situation??
NO-ONE here can compare with the situation that HER mother and sister are in, unless of course you are the mother/sister of someone very high up in the public eye... and your offspring/sibling is allegedly being beaten on by their spouse...
I applaud them for going to extreme lengths to reached their loved one... reminds me a bit of Lee Chapman/Lesley Ash
I feel for Mel B's family, who appear to be between the devil and the deep blue sea
