Eddie Murphy 'Abandons' Fatherly Duties

02 Mar 2009 520 entertainment, gossip
Eddie Murphy reportedly doesn't visit his daughter because he wants to stay away from "crazy" Mel B. The 'Shrek' star, who fathered 22-month-old Angel Iris with the former Spice Girl, is keen to avoid a confrontation with his ex-girlfriend Mel. A friend of Eddie's told America's OK! magazine: "To see the kid, he'd have to see the mother. Maybe when she's older, Eddie will see Angel, but not now. "Mel is a crazy woman. Eddie wants to stay far away from her." Eddie - who has five other children with his ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, and two from a previous relationship - dumped Mel on a Dutch TV show while she was pregnant with Angel, and then questioned the paternity of his baby. A DNA test later proved he was the father. In 2008, Mel revealed she was considering writing a song about the 'Beverly Hills Cop' star because she claims he rarely sees the pair's daughter. The 33-year-old star said: "The working title on my new song is 'Beverly Hills C**k' because that is what he is. He never bothers with his daughter. I mean, what kind of man is that? "I want Angel to know she has two parents who love her so much."
