Melanie Brown's relationship with Eddie Murphy broke down because aspects of his lifestyle made her uncomfortable. The pair split when Murphy publicly ended their romance on a Dutch TV show last year and denied fathering her then-unborn child.

But the Spice Girl has hinted their relationship was doomed from the start because his private life shocked and worried her.

She tells essence.com, "There were certain things that went on in his house with his lifestyle that I wasn't prepared to be a part of. I have a baby with this guy, so I have to be somewhat respectful. I'll simply say that there were lifestyle changes that he would have to make if we were going to live together... I don't have people knocking on my door at three and four in the morning."

She adds efforts to confront the issue became "a trippy discussion, which ended up where we both refused to budge."

Murphy was famously detained by police ten years ago after driving with a transvestite prostitute in his car. Murphy insisted he was merely giving his unusual passenger a ride home.
