PHOENIX Brown appeared to have it all as the privileged daughter of pop star Mel B.
But the 25-year-old has revealed she was bullied mercilessly at school for having a Spice Girl for a mum.
She spoke as her new film explores the advantages and disadvantages of being the child of a celebrity.
Phoenix told the Mirror: "Everyone has their own struggles when they go through school.
"People think that I would be popular, or everyone would love me because I had a famous parent. But it doesn't really help you in any way.
"You can't really bring your mum to school every day and be like, 'Oh, look at me. It's more of a thing where you're the odd one out because everyone's like, 'Oh, you're the one with the famous parent'.
"It was a bit weird. I guess people just didn't really like me."
She said some children even set up a "We hate Phoenix" club when she attended school in the US.
Phoenix added: "I was a coloured girl, I had big hair, I was very loud.
"Some kids just don't like that, and I just got bullied all throughout my schooling. It sucked. People are just mean at that age, I guess, and I was easy to pick on."
