I knew it! Eddie Murphy is the father of Melanie Brown’s baby Angel Iris Murphy Brown. She listed him as the father for crying out loud. I know she is “Scary Spice” but she was not crazy about this one. The test came back, now Eddie must step up.
LOS ANGELES – A day after Eddie Murphy confirmed that he is the father of Melanie Brown’s baby, the former Spice Girl’s lawyer complained that Murphy isn’t accepting his parental responsibilities.
“He has not indicated in his statement or to us that he plans to visit the baby,” attorney Gloria Allred said Saturday.
Brown’s primary concern is that Murphy “see his child, spend time with her, hold her, love her and bond with his daughter,” Allred said.
Murphy, 46, “always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father,” according to a statement released Friday by his publicist, Arnold Robinson.

Pfeiffer has ‘Star’ power, Damon and Affleck together again, Borat’s babe sports baby bump and more.“He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel and has paid child support to Ms. Brown, as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy,” Robinson said.
Murphy considers the matter private and planned to have no further comment, he said.
Angel Iris Murphy Brown was born April 3. Brown also has an 8-year-old daughter.
