Eddie's the Baby Daddy, Says Scary DNA Test

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."

61. I feel bad for the little baby involved. When she grows up she's going to know about how her dad trashed her mother and she'll feel unwanted. I hope Eddie really tries to be a good father to her but if he still has the attitude he has these past few months I don't see that happening anytime soon.

62. Another Perspective, the reason why the people on this site are so full of hate for Eddie Murphy is because of the horrible way he treated Melanie Brown. How would you like to have to find out from the MEDIA that your significant other left you? Eddie didn't even have the decency to tell Melanie that it was over, he let her find out from the media. Very classless indeed.

And then, if that weren't bad enough that he already publicly humiliated this woman via his means of breaking up with her, he also has to throw in this garbage about how her child could have been anyone's. Melanie was 100% sure the entire time that it was HIS. Okay, so maybe Eddie did have some doubts about the paternity of the child and wanted a test to prove it--fair enough--but WHY did he again go to the MEDIA and not MELANIE about it? The decent and reasonable thing to do would have been to go to Melanie PRIVATELY and TALK to her about it, but he got all in a huff and then it was obviously a matter of his pride. He shamelessly dragged this poor woman's name through the mud, making her out to be some easy whore when HE was the one out looking for another woman while he was still with Melanie!

Eddie's despicable actions were very unbecoming of a gentleman and he deserves to be made to pay for that because it's not only Melanie he's hurt--this is also going to hurt his innocent child when she grows up because she's going to learn that her father was a slimeball who flat-out denied her and publicly humiliated her mother for no other reason than his foolish pride. Eddie Murphy is a disgusting pig and a pathetic excuse of a man for doing this to his baby and to the mother of his child. Even if he didn't believe that the baby was his, that is NO excuse for his actions, especially as he knew there was at least a CHANCE that the baby WAS his. He should have acted accordingly.

Yes, it was Melanie's choice to get involved with Eddie, and yes, it was her choice to have unprotected sex with him, but let's be fair here--lots of children are born out of wedlock now (not that I personally support that) and how could she possibly have seen something like THIS coming? She might have pondered the possibility of them eventually breaking up, but nobody thinks that their current love is someday going to publicly humiliate them and treat them the awful way that Eddie has treated Melanie. Also remember that Melanie has not been slinging any mud at HIM, but he has made all kinds of vile remarks about her.

While it may be half her own fault for getting pregnant in the first place, Melanie is still very much a victim here, very wronged, and Eddie is going to have to own up to that. So far, he hasn't, he's setting a horrible example for other men, and THAT's why we're so angry at Eddie.

I respect your perspective, but what Eddie did was just completely wrong. They were both irresponsible, but he was just plain nasty and Melanie at least was not nasty or cruel like he is. But I certainly hope that you're right about this working out, especially for that poor little baby's sake.

63. You all are the biggest ass wipes. Eddie NEVER denied he was the father. Considering he was not in a serious relationship with the girl and it was probably just a sex thing for BOTH of them (her ass too), he has a right to request a DNA test. You all would want a test too. You don't know what kind of women she is. She may be a come get it for free type bitch. Eddie's only mistake was not protecting himself. You all act like you are so above others and their lifes issues. Most of you live on websites like these because your lives are so screwed up. He has stated if it is his child, he will take care of it. However, she is not going to lay up rich off of her child's father. He is responsible for the child, not the mama. So, she better really push for this Spice thing reunion.

And, He was robbed of his Oscar!

64. 9 times out of 10 when a woman says that a certin man is the father of her child. SHE KNOWS and so does the man. It is a shame that the burden of proof always fall on the woman. It was unnesessary for Eddie to take her through this. He knew he was sleeping with her, and he knew he made a baby with her.

Now that it is 99.9% proven, I hope that he will step up and be a MAN and take care of HIS CHILD. And if Tracey Edmonds (Babyface's ex wife, Eddie's present woman) is any type of a woman, she will make sure that he does the right thing. And most importantly, Eddie, KEEP YOUR THANG BEHIND THE ZIPPER, OR USE A CONDOM AND DON'T MAKE ANYMORE BABIES. You already have enough children by your ex to take care of. I know you think your pockets are deep, but children are expensive.

66. I wonder how he will feel knowing, his comments are forever documented and that his daughter will find this out when she is older?

67. Even after Eddie pays child support for the 18-23 years Eddie Murphy will still have more money in the bank than every person that made a comment here. He will have more babies probably and it doesn't hurt his pockets because he makes millions. People go make some real money of your own and dont worry about this rich mans kids. He is going to pay the child support he has no choice. But he will still be rich and living a lifestyle you could only dream of. Money talks.

68. Why be a jerk, Eddie? You insulted your ex and YOUR innocent baby. Why? New wife impressed with you? She needs to be close attention - they say past behaviors predict future behaviors.

70. Both IRRESPONSIBLE....

Obviously, she wanted another child born out of wedlock and, hopefully, after this one she will (permanently) take care of things to prevent another out of wedlock pregnancy. From my perspective, it doesn't look good on her behalf! It is time that women take responsibility for their bodies (along with men so they are not to be used as sperm donors).

Eddie Murphy had said that if the child was his the support would be there on behalf of her; however, you can only imagine the contentious relationship the adults will have in the future....interesting! Eddie Murphy was used by Melanie Brown, and I can imagine we haven't heard the last of her--why didn't she stay in England?!

71. Eddie is so stupid for not having put a cap on it. Put on a baggie on first. Seal your deal so she won't seal a meal ticket.
And Meal B did. It is so sad that Eddie has a 3rd or 4th child from out of wedlock to a woamn he has does not even like and another child he WILL NOT recognize or know. His five kids with Nicole are thereal ones and the chosen ones inwhich he married their mum and sees them. The others get money and nothing else. What a awful thing to do to a child. Mel B, will get monetary suppor tfor this child for 18-21 years. That is it. What an awful thing these women like her do in trying to trap these men. Why make a child to hurt it ,but hey ,you get some money. Pitiful.

72. Eddie boy. Like they always say. IF YOU PLAY YOU PAY.

73. Time to be a real man and take accountablity for your child Eddie.

Pity you couldn't have admited the child was yours even before DNA; instead you act like a pimp and try to deny it. Shame on you!!!

74. No pun on your Mr. Rogers Hood skit from SNL. But, can you spell vasectomy boys and girls.......cripes sake get snipped Eddie!!!

75. I make typing mistakes. Sometimes I use the wrong word, too. But some of these posts are unintelligible. I hope it is just in your rush to give an opinion that makes it difficult for you to express yourself; if not, the American School Education is failing miserably.

Having a child out of wedlock is never an easy situation for anyone. But this occurs every day, everywhere around the world. Most people deal with it and do what is best for themselves and the unborn child. Mr. Murphy behaved poorly. He should have kept his opinions regarding the paternity to himself and the potential mother of his child. He has only himself to blame for looking like an ass.

As for those who say that women trap men by getting pregnant I say that is also something that has happened throughout the ages everywhere around the world. But remember you can’t get pregnant from a toilet so if you don’t want a child then make sure you can’t conceive one. Wear a raincoat, use spermicidal gel and pullout if you are not willing to go the final route of a vasectomy.

Keep in mind that the least of your worries when having unprotected sex is procreation. The test they both could have been waiting on could have been an HIV test.
