“For a good year and a half I couldn’t even bear for somebody to stand near me or be hugged. Apart from hugging my kids and my family, anything else would make me feel traumatized,” Brown told The Guardian in 2020 about the mental health difficulties she suffered in the wake of her ex-husband’s alleged abuse.
“I was like, well, if I don’t touch anybody and don’t let anybody come near me, I’ll be OK. You can’t live like that. But the trust issue is always going to be there. It takes someone who is going to understand and be compassionate and take everything super-super-slow.”
Though she didn’t name names at the time, Scary Spice hinted at her relationship with McPhee — and why it was so special. “I’m with someone who’s very kind. Very, very kind,” she shared. “And more than anything we’re really good friends from way back.”
