In an interview on Dutch Television Eddie was asked if he was happy with Mel.
He freaked out and snipped that they were no longer together..AND that he will be requesting a paternity test, as he believes the child is not his. (Someone’s acting a QUEEN!)
What a way to breakup with someone. In this case I think that email or a text message may have been the gentler route.
Apparently, Mel B had no idea that this was coming and learned about the incident through a friend. The day before Mel had told the press that she was looking forward to spending Christmas with Eddie.
Mel is said to be hurt, especially with the paternity test request, and she said that the couple did have a small fight previous to Eddie publicly ending their relationship.
Eddie Murphy is reportedly ’seeing’ Tracey Edmonds now. (WTF?) Tracey is the ex-wife of ‘Babyface’.
But always remember, Eddie bats for both teams and will deny it to the ends of the earth!

Eddie Murphy tells Entertainment Tonight: “I love my wife and I’m not gay. I’m married with three children. I’m not going to be out there screwing hookers off the street or anything like that. I’m just being a nice guy… I was being a good Samaritan. It’s not the first hooker I’ve helped out. I’ve seen hookers on corners… and I’ll pull over… and they’ll go, ‘Oh you’re Eddie Murphy, oh my God,’ and I’ll empty my wallet out to help.” |

In the Gay & Lesbian Times Nicole Ramirez Murray declares: “For well over a decade, it has been known among the drag queen and transsexual underground that movie star and comedian Eddie Murphy dated numerous drag queens. One San Diego native, Summer St. Cerely (aka Alfie) has already sold her story to The Globe and appeared on many talk shows. Another local San Diego queen who still lives here and had an affair with Murphy is the ever-sexy and beautiful blonde bombshell Evelyn Thomas (Queen of Queens III and a former Miss Gay San Diego titleholder), who told me that she remembers that Murphy’s “private part” curved like a banana! Another gorgeous drag queen, Mercedes Alexander… has also been splattered all over the press for her affair with Murphy… What makes this so outrageous and Eddie Murphy such a hypocritical asshole has been his years of anti-gay jokes and vicious attacks on our community earlier in his career. Yes, Eddie, every dog has its day and you deserve all that you’re getting.” |
