Eddie's the Baby Daddy, Says Scary DNA Test

Posted Jun 22nd 2007 2:30PM by TMZ Staff

Eddie Murphy is definitely the daddy of Scary Spice's 2-month-old baby, according to a DNA test that the singer just received, and a source who has seen the actual test tells TMZ that it "leaves no doubt" that Eddie's the dad.

A rep for Scary -- aka Melanie Brown -- confirms that her client has received the test results and that they point to Murphy as the father of Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Scary had preemptively given the baby the name even before the test.

As for the test, we're told that the results are "irrefutable" and that, as with most DNA tests, there is a far greater than 99% probability that Murphy's the dad. Mazel tov!

Murphy's rep tells TMZ, "We don't comment on our clients' personal lives."

31. It's called CHILD SUPPORT, Eddie. See you in court!

32. I'm so glad Melanie Brown proved what she has been saying all along. I thought it was horrible how Eddie Murphy treated her through it all. I lost a lot of respect for him. I hope now that he knows that this child is his he will not only financially own up to being the child's father, but also be an active part of the child's life, and introduce her to her other half siblings.

33. Amen, Tressah, I was thinking along the exact same lines. Eddie ought to be ashamed of himself for dragging Melanie through the mud like that and dumping her VIA THE MEDIA when she obviously hadn't slept with another soul and HE was the one out looking for another partner! I hope Melanie takes him for all he's worth for making her out to be some kind of whore who could have had a list of potential fathers for her child. She knew all along that it was Eddie's and was completely sure about that. If Eddie ever had any doubts about the child's paternity, he could have addressed that with her PRIVATELY instead of turning it into a circus and trying to look like a big man, demanding a paternity test and saying how the child could have been anyone's. He made a real ass out of himself and I hope he regrets ever opening his big mouth because he sure put his foot in it. I also hope that Melanie takes him to the cleaners for what he put her through. Not that she needs the money, of course, but no woman should be subjected to this kind of humiliation and Eddie should have to pay for his despicable actions which were very unbecoming of a gentleman.

I am so glad that Melanie is finally vindicated. I only wish I could hear her tell him, "I told you so!" Rub it RIGHT IN HIS FACE, Melanie! He'll deserve every bit of it.

34. You would think that after 6 or 7 kids that Eddie Murphy would learn how to use a condom?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Skip, please leave race out of this. There are people of all races that find themselves in the same situation. I hope TMZ deletes your comment. Racism shouldn't have a place anywhere in this world, or on this board.

36. That's true Liz or at least pull out. Doesn't he know how babies are made? I feel sorry for the baby boy, well, no I don't. Who would want a asshole like that for a father anyway!

37. As much as I think "scary spice" (what a STUPID name) is a joke, this just shows what a scumbag eddie murphy is. First dumping his then girlfriend on danish TV, then intimating that the baby is not his because "he's not sure who she's been with".

As far as I'm concerned, murphy is a total scumbag; no class, no breeding, he's just another hollywood *sshole who will say anything to get out of having to take responsibility for his actions. I hope his daughter Angel will understand this when she asks "Mommy, why doesn't daddy ever speak with me?"

38. Dottie Dame: Dont go trying to decide what people can and cannot express. If Racism is part of the world, than sorry about that, always has been always will be. Go tell the ACLU, oh thats right they wont help you either---if they protect Child Abusers imagine the protection and support they must give Racists.

The guy is a skank, in any color. He should have stayed with his He-She Fetish, that way theres no pregnancy.

39. Both Mel B and Eddie are in a tizzy for this one. You can't just blame Eddie and call him a loser because he wanted a DNA test. Hang the bill on Mel B also for getting in this fix and she was not married to Eddie.

They both are responsible as they were not married to each other in this case.

Why are you women / men on this site so full of anger, rage and hate toward Eddie? This is really something especially since it takes two to tango. Mel B could have chosen not to go through with this but she apparently wanted a life with Eddie. So far, he is preferring otherwise. So tag her too for being irresponsible.

Seeing that the item of romance is not going anywhere away from the human race in the near future, women will continue to get pregnant by men they are not married to.

Just out of curiosity for the women telling Eddie to be involved in the childs life, how many of you have had a baby out of wedlock hoping to get the guy because you are pregnant, then ended up bitter and hateful because your romance with him did not work out and you had to raise the baby without him, child support or no child support? Then to boot he fell in love with and married another woman?

Also, how many of you want to deal with a "scorned" mother if you end up meeting a guy with kids from a relationship that did not work out?

Women have to become more responsible when they are having sex. It is women who are the final decision makers in this. It is their body who will bear the child. Anyway, it will all work out. It always does.

Paying Child support is the least of his concerns I am sure.

40. Where is Jessie Davis Father? dose she have one? We see her Mom but not her Dad, or was she like her son and come out of wedlock?

41. These movie stars and celebraties have SO MUCH CLASS!

42. Melanie is going to take Eddie to the cleaners and he deserves it.

For someone who has been in Hollywood for so long you would think that he picked up pointers on how and when to break up with your baby-mama. Announcing this on world-wide television while she's heavily pregnant with your child and at 30,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean flying home to see you is NOT, NOT, NOT the way to do it.

Mr. Murphy will be breaking out the checkbook for at least the next 18 years. Cha-ching!!!!!

43. Now she should take that baby, live in England where she is from and never allow Mr. Murphy to see his child. He may be biologically the father but he doesn't know the meaning of the word. He totally abandoned her, dragged her name in the mud and has no respect for women...just likes to screw them.

44. Ever heard of using protection you idiots? You get what you deserve for your stupidity.
