According to court documents obtained by In Touch, a federal judge denied Mel’s plea to sanction Stephen, 49, due to his alleged “blatant abuse of judicial process in filing this action.”
Stephen filed a bombshell lawsuit in May. He accused the singer of spreading lies about him being abusive during their marriage, which lasted from 2007 until 2017.
Stephen denied the accusations. The exes share a 12-year-old daughter named Madison.

Madison has lived with Stephen since the singer’s work visa expired in 2019. In his lawsuit, Stephen said Mel, 49, spent the “better part of the last decade engaging in a deliberate and wide-ranging campaign to cause him severe emotional distress and destroy his reputation.”
