Mariah Carey is crumbling both financially and emotionally under the weight of her family drama. In late August, the Queen of Christmas was dealt a heavy blow when she lost both her mother and sister on the same day. While grieving the devastating loss, Mariah was hit with a lawsuit from her estranged brother, Morgan Carey. With less than three months to their physical deposition, the singer is pulling all her resources and at risk of running on empty.
Mariah has reportedly had to put her grieving on hold to gear up for the brutal fight with Morgan. “She can’t even grieve properly because the dark cloud of this defamation suit is hovering over her. Mariah thinks her brother Morgan is being vindictive and out to get her,” a source revealed. As is often the case with lawsuits, a lot of money is involved. Sadly, it doesn’t bode well for the Obsessed singer, who is reportedly in a cash crisis.
“She’s spending a fortune on her defense, money she doesn’t really have and is scared to death of depositions and all the intrusive questions.”
Mariah Carey Turning To Alcohol Amid Difficult Time
With her finances going down the drain, Mariah feels like “she has the weight of the world on her shoulders,” says the source. Never been one to handle stress well, she is reportedly finding a source of comfort in several bottles of champagne. The insider spilled to Life&Style:
“Mariah can’t take it, so she’s turning to the only ‘medicine’ that works, booze.”
Her increasing dependence on alcohol is a thing of concern for her loved ones. “Her methods of coping have friends worried she’s digging a deeper hole for herself,” explained the source. “Mariah doesn’t manage well when faced with difficult situations.” The songstress was ordered to sit for a deposition with her brother before January 31, 2025. With the deadline around the corner, Mariah Carey has a tough journey ahead.
