Mariah Carey: The diva had an unhappy childhood, was almost sold into a brothel by her sister, the marriage did not work out

Before she became a pop phenomenon in the 1990s, few people knew that Mariah Carey had suffered from stage fright since the early days of her career. And yet, behind that shining smile, the singer has experienced many events in her life.

Eventful childhood

Born in 1969, Mariah Carey is the leading female diva of the American entertainment industry with many globally popular albums such as Music Box (1993), Merry Christmas (1994) and Daydream (1995). In particular, the success of the song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" helped Mariah Carey be dubbed the "queen of Christmas music" by the public.

Mariah Carey grew up in a family of an Irish-American mother and an African-American father. In her 2020 memoir "The Meaning of Mariah Carey," Mariah Carey revealed many hidden corners behind her glorious life.

The diva said she had a rough childhood when she always faced racism, due to her father being African-American. Not only that, every day the singer has to witness scenes of quarrels and conflicts between her parents. By the time Mariah Carey was 3, her parents divorced. The singer moved with her mother to Long Island. The life of 2 mothers and children is always in a precarious situation. Even the house the singer and her mother live in is not called home, but merely as a shack.

The lack of love and attention from her parents and witnessing bad scenes in the family left a psychological haunt for Mariah Carey. This is also the reason why Mariah Carey's MVs all appear images of love between black boys and white girls.

Also in her memoir "The Meaning of Mariah Carey", Mariah Carey also revealed how she felt very lonely and difficult to get along with when she had parents of different colors. The singer even suffered from being ridiculed by her classmates as a "fluffy bear", due to racism.

Not only Mariah Carey, the singer's mother also suffered the same situation. She was abandoned by her own family for daring to marry a person of color. The obsession with racism dogged Mariah Carey for most of her life.

But this is still nothing compared to Alison's own sister with the diva. Her sister Mariah Carey is 8 years older than the singer, who has an extremely bad past when regularly using banned substances.

When Mariah Carey was 12, her sister gave her tranquilizers and banned substances. Even a splash of hot tea left the singer with 3rd degree burns. But even scarier was Alison's attempt to sell Mariah Carey to a pimp. Mariah Carey said she always believed her sister was the one who recruited girls to call a pimp named John. Alison even left Mariah Carey alone with John in the car, causing her to be nearly humiliated by the pimp. Luckily, an elderly man looked curiously inside the car so the singer escaped.

The singer suffered from bipolar disorder in 2001, a disease that can cause sudden and extreme swings in mood. However, Mariah Carey has always kept a low profile about her illness and is silent about any criticism from the public about some aggressive behavior or diva attitude. It wasn't until 2018 that Mariah Carey first talked about the disease. The singer said that she always felt lonely and feared that someone who knew about it would reveal this secret.

The love affair is controlled by a husband of more than 21 years

Rich and famous, Mariah Carey's love line was not very happy. Mariah Carey first married in 1993 at the age of 24. The first husband of the singer was Tommy Mottola - talented music producer, CEO of Sony Music. Tommy Mottola was born in 1948 and is 21 years older than the singer. The idea that marrying a man with musical harmony will make Mariah Carey's marriage fulfilling and happy. However, after 5 years of marriage, the two have "gone their separate ways".

Mariah Carey once described her marriage to Tommy Mottola as "hell" of restraint and control. According to Mariah Carey, she was only allowed to leave the villa with her husband's permission. Every corner of the mansion is equipped with cameras, every step of Mariah Carey is followed by a team of bodyguards and security. The marriage was so scary that Mariah Carey couldn't sleep in the mansion and had to secretly rent an apartment in Manhattan next to her acting coach. In fact, she only used the excuse of working with her coach to go to this apartment to sleep.

After a long period of restraint, Mariah Carey has decided to divorce Tommy Mottola. But the fact that the singer said this decision in front of her husband's friends made him angry. According to Mariah Carey, for 1 night, Tommy Mottola threatened her angrily.

Post-divorce, Mariah Carey left Sony Music, but Tommy Mottola used her power to ruin the singer's career. He cut her image out of advertisements at record stores.

In this memoir, Mariah Carey also confides in her love affair with baseball star Derek Jeter. But this love affair did not last long. After that, the singer went on to date singer Luis Miguel. The two were together for 3 years when they broke up. In 2008, Mariah Carey married her second husband, Nick Cannon. The couple have twins together and officially went their separate ways in 2014.

Next, Mariah Carey also quickly began a relationship with Australian casino billionaire - James Packer. The couple dated in 2015, then announced their engagement in January 2016. However, after only 9 months, the media revealed that the two had called off their marriage. What's even more surprising is that Mariah Carey herself suffered a mental shock when she learned the news through the media, not from her fiancé.

The reason is said to be that Mariah Carey horned her billionaire fiancé while having an affair with the young male dancer. But Mariah Carey's representatives have adamantly denied that the singer had an affair. Despite denying it, just a month after the incident, Mariah Carey went public with her dating relationship with a young dancer 13 years her junior - Bryan Tanaka.

Always appearing as a successful and strong woman, few people thought that Mariah Carey would face so many events in the past. Through the sharing in the memoir, the public also understands part of Mariah Carey's efforts to escape the dark past and reach out to reach the glory of her career. Although she has now turned 60 and rarely shows up, it is undeniable that the diva still has a strong influence in the American music scene.
