According People, Mariah Carey’s older sister, Alison Carey, filed a $ 1.25 million lawsuit against the singer for “intentional emotional suffering” caused by “cruel, cruel, vengeful, despicable and totally unnecessary public humiliation” in the way Alison Carey was represented in her sister’s recent memories, The meaning of Mariah Carey. The book, which refers to Alison Carey as the singer’s “ex-sister,” includes a series of stories from Carey’s life that Alison Carey says were intentionally included to “humiliate and embarrass her” in order to promote the book. The stories include an incident when Mariah Carey says her sister gave her Valium and tried to “puff her up and pour a cup of hot tea at her”, with Alison Carey pointing out that she never had a chance to tell her side of the story.
Alison Carey – who describes herself as Mariah’s “penniless sister” in the process – says the contents of her sister’s book led her back to “alcohol abuse” and left her “unusually tearful”, in addition to resurging memories PTSD triggers of “horrible abuses” since childhood, like “terrible satanic worship meetings in the middle of the night” that her mother attended. Alison Carey says her sister’s lawyers have not responded to an offer to reach a settlement, and People adds that Carey’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment.
