About this listen

Please note that this audiobook contains explicit language and content some listeners may find distressing.

The memoir from the real woman behind the leopard print, for real women everywhere.

As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor and America's Got Talent, Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, has been an international star since the age of 19. And yet there are sides of Mel that no one has ever seen or really known.

Brutally Honest is an exposé of the struggles and acute pain that lay behind the glamour and success. With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and Melanie’s trademark Yorkshire humour, this audiobook removes the mask of fame and reveals the mother, wife and daughter behind the Spice Girl everyone thinks they know.

The audiobook edition features narration from Melanie, her daughter, Phoenix, and her mother, Andrea.

Wow this is the best female autobiography I have ever had the pleasure of listening to! Just like the title it is brutally honest! I haven’t been able to stop listening to it and finished in 2 days! And what a woman Mel is, after going through so much in her private life she’s come out the other side, I love the endearing stories of her Dad and black grandma and it sounds like she certainly takes after her! I can’t see anyone not loving this book and hopefully it will spur the people that may be going through the same to be strong enough to get out and live a life they deserve like her! GIRL POWER FOREVER XXX

A must read it’s amazing

Really opens your eyes that super stars and the famous, also get abused, gas lighted, made to feel less than, useless and worthless,
Brilliantly written,
An honest truthful book of a woman’s self worth being destroyed by a leach and narcissist, I applaud you Melanie Brown, for helping other’s by telling your story,

Brilliant.... perfect Title!
