Last year the pop star, 43, divorced the film producer, 43, after ten years of marriage, and has since exclusively spoken to The Sun about the "abuse" he subjected her to.
Today, after an interview in which they discussed Mel's new autobiography Brutally Honest, Susanna said: "It's been lovely to talk to you. We have to read a right of reply.
"Mr Belafonte has told us there are new litigation plans and he will be answering the allegations in full, which he denies."
As she read out the statement, the star could be heard off-camera gasping: "Oh god. Don't want to hear that."

Piers suggested: "Well when he replies, you can reply again."
Mel said: "No! Why would I? Why would I get into a spat like that?"
Piers said: "Unfortunately we had to do that, whether we wanted to or not. And I didn't want to. I'm with you on this. Team Mel. Team Scary."
