A source says, “Mel is refusing to lie down and let Eddie walk all over her – and this is reflected in her choice of lawyer. She wants to hit him where it hurts the most – in the pocket. They don’t come much better than Don. His services don’t come cheap, but he’s one of the best lawyers around. oost relish taking on an A-list star and Don is no exception. This is a war and if Eddie doesn’t know it, he will very shortly.”

Meanwhile, oel’s friends are spreading the word on why she and the ‘Daddy Day Care’ star called it quits. Apparently, there were a series of rows over Eddie’s wild ways. The final straw came when Mel caught him drinking and smoking marijuana while her seven-year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, was sleeping nearby.

A pal reveals, “That night, she snapped and stormed out of the house. She thought if she flew to London, it would make Eddie miss her and change his ways. At first, he did send her messages saying he loved her, but by the time Mel returned, he’d firmly put her out of his life and didn’t even try to contact her. She was heartbroken.”
