The 52-year-old pointed to being pregnant with daughter Scarlett Chrisholm Starr, 16—who she shares with ex Thomas Starr—as a turning point in how she saw herself.

"The thing is, with Scarlett, she’s not in the public eye," Melanie went on. "I made that conscious decision when she was a baby.

But for me, probably because of my experiences with fame, I didn’t feel comfortable making that decision for her."
