As a result of the settlement, a hearing scheduled to be held in the Los Angeles Superior Court was set aside, and Judge Mark Juhas also cancelled a restraining order Mel B had against Belafonte. Meanwhile, they have three months to establish Belafonte's visitation rights to Mel B's 10-year-old daughter Angel, whose father is Eddie Murphy. Mel B and her lawyers banned him from having contact with Angel and obtained a restraining order after the singer and "America's Got Talent" judge accused him of being violent. Belafonte claimed he had raised Angel since she was a baby and therefore could legitimately request access. Mel B, 42, was present at Thursday's hearing, but did not comment.
