Benesch Partner Bryna Dahlin was recently quoted in Law360’s coverage of the high-profile defamation dispute involving Spice Girls’ Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown. The article, “Scary Spice Says Ex Can’t Sue Her For Defamation In Fla.,” features Bryna’s insights on the legal strategy and jurisdictional issues at play in the case. Bryna, who represents Mel B’s ex-husband, film producer Stephen Belafonte, says Brown subjected him to a “relentless campaign” to tarnish his reputation. 

“This was a relentless targeting over and over and over again,” Bryna said. “She should not be surprised that she is now being haled into court for those statements in Florida, where the target of those statements resides.”
