That isn’t exactly a fair assessment. We don’t know who she is friends with on a long term basis beyond what we see for ourselves which is a very small part of her life. She’s definitely still friends with Josephin, her roommate from the 80’s. You mentioned employees like Trey but there’s also Maryann who’s been with her since 1997. Same with Kris Buckle. Both of them have been very loyal to her and she to them. Then there’s Liron, who was first a fan and then they became friends over the years and they have been extremely close for years now. As for her family, we know the kind of people her brother and sister are but Mariah is so close with Alison’s son Shawn, Alison’s other son Michael always went to Aspen. Many of the people she has cut from her life were also present for years and maybe deserved to get cut if that’s what happened. Or else these long term employees left as a result of the arrival of the likes of Stella. So I don’t think it’s fair to say Mariah can’t sustain longterm relationships. It’s hard to trust people when you are a star of Mariah’s magnitude. We’ve seen what happens when she has trusted the wrong people. Sorry but her backing singers arent really her friends. They are primarily in her life because they are her employees. Same goes for Kris. Im not saying they arent friendly but they prob would not be in her life much unless they were on her books. And sorry but that whole Liron situation is just weird. Who hires some random fan off a website ? Also IMO her brother didnt do a lot wrong. He knew she needed help and was cut off so it maybe was his only way of reaching out to her. Pat is clearly out of her life. That is telling to me. Maybe his talking was finally the push that she needed to accept her problems. Mariah has been in denial for a long time and anyone who has tried to help her has been attacked. I remember many people pointing to her weight gain and loss cycle every few months as not being normal and definitely a sign that she was on medication or having other issues. But lambs used to try and shut anyone down with dumb comments about how Mariah has a right to enjoy her food, or Let the girl eat. Fans who expressed concern over her drinking were also attempted to be silenced with people claiming that Mariahs glasses are never empty and she doesnt have a drink issue. Its clear that all the yes people have just been blinded by their disturbing obsession to this woman and its clear that what Morgan said or what Damizza said in his interview way back in 2001 was 100 percent correct. 1. Yes a lot of her friends work for her, but who else does she meet? When you work and travel as much as she does, the people you spend the most time with are people with whom you work. Isn't it pretty common for celebrities to befriend and even date people who work for them? J Lo, Madonna, etc have dated their dancers. Other celebrities have friends and family who act as managers, PR, etc for them. I am not saying it's healthy or not, just saying it's normal for the business. Mariah has also been in the business since she was 18 or so, so it's not like she had lifelong friends of 20 years when she hit it big. She moved a lot as a kid and then became a celebrity who got into a marriage where she wasn't allowed to socialize much. Who the hell else was she going to befriend except the people with whom she worked? 2. Why is the Liron thing weird? Do you even know Liron's education and other work experience? Additionally, I think it would be smart of Mariah (and other celebrities) to hire more fans. We know and care about her more than some random person brought in to work for her. Assuming fans have the proper education and experience, who better to work for her? Da Brat is another person who has been her friend a long time.

When i see Liron posting rubbish up on twitter about "not knowing" the grammys, thats all i need to know about her. Unprofessional and tragic. As if she woluldnt be begging to be brought along if Mariah ever ended up back there again.

Looking back at the cover of Memoirs of an imperfect angel I wonder if that was a subconscious thing on her part ? The three different shots of her ? Who knows..

This is the problem with our society people have lost their humanity. They have no respect for other people truths and sit their mocking and laughing her as if she just pulled a diva antics moment. No wonder people keep mental health issues private.

Assuming fans have the proper education and experience, who better to work for her? Da Brat is another person who has been her friend a long time. I agree with everyone who said her friends can work for her. And I agree about you saying a fan can work for her or any artist for that matter. I sent people at Arista a whole planned out idea for Whitney's return album. I sent that to them via LinkedIn in 2007. The SVP did reach out to me and say their ideas were eerily similar. Then in 2009, before the launch I got a call from said SVP asking if they could use my idea. I did a whole promo campaign but as a graphic designer, I outlined ads and ideas. The official rollout where Whitney was back was my whole idea. You are right. Sometimes labels need to go to the fans. My idea certainly didn't hurt ILTY. My campaign/idea was to remind people of who Whitney was and to get out of the drug talk. Again, I am proud of her for coming forward. I'm just sad that she has dealt with this for so long and likely longer than she was diagnosed. And one other thing I will say, I feel bad for all the commentary on her weight. I don't and won't say anything about her weight bc I fluctuate a lot. It's not easy, but depending on medications she's been on it's a lot harder. I just figured she was on steroids for her voice at times like Whitney and it caused her to gain weight. I think this is a great step for Mariah. And I wanna see her do the damn thing!

I'm so proud of her and love her so much, I'm glad that she came to terms and is getting the help she needs for this cause Lord knows I've been praying hard for her. Not knowing exactly what was wrong, but we could tell that something has been off for awhile especially during the Stella era, I'm so glad that she emerged from under her. THANK GOD! It makes me look back at this video and take account into what Morgan is saying and think perhaps he actually still cares about her.

I kinda doubt she'd divulge the album photoshoot like that. My guess is it's got to do with something more directly related to bipolar disorder (if the caption is anything to go by)... maybe another magazine shoot or filming an actual interview about her condition?

It was natural lambs would call him out for doing what he did. So I don’t think anyone should feel “dumb”! Is every lamb a psychiatrist who can diagnose someone through a tv or computer screen? Cut the self-righteous attitude. Most fans had some inclination she had depressive periods but no one knew she was bipolar.

I'm guessing you're joking righhhh? No. Here to defend you. The Mariah incident happened when I was 6. I don’t even think i had a concept of who Mariah was until we belong together (11 years old). And she wasn’t even on my radar until touch my body (13 years old) I doubt the vast majority of my friends know about the 2001 Mariah incident. Mariah is a multigenerational Star and id bet many who weren’t introduced to her until her mid 2000s comeback are clueless about the 2001 fiasco.

Lambs were saying he was inventing lies and inventing stories. Mariah is fine, they all said. You dont know if he was concerned or not not do you know if he was paid any money for that interview. Maybe it was the only way he could reach her. Stop acting like you know everything.

Why does it seem like some are trying to be right about this? She has a medical condition, why are some in here talking about it like hey I was right and some of you were wrong. What a terrible thing to argue about who was right or wrong over it.
Also so Morgan was right about many things. He was also very wrong on so many levels for that video. Revealing your sister’s personal health information before she is ready is a pretty despicable thing to do. If he was concerned about her health, again doing so in a public way before she has even said anything probably didn’t help matters for her. There is a reason why he and her sister aren’t at the table. Things like this video show why she has cast them aside.

I'm not sure if Mariah would ever have told the world her struggles since 2001 if it wasn't for Morgan. She probably was notified of this interview he did. And then she had no choice. So casting him aside surely wasn't a light decision on her part because she must have known that he could be a liability to her secret. Add to it that Stella found out as well and here we are. I think Mariah would've liked to take this one to the grave while quietly struggling with it behind the scenes.

You are twisting my words and inventing a narrative that I never pushed. I said for many years a certain group of the fanbase berated Morgan for being a flat out liar and inventing stories. Clearly they were wrong. That is all I said. And no one is happier than me to see Mariah in a good place, finally. LONG may it continue for her.

Well she probably wasn't aware of it during the Stella era as she was being very sheltered from the real world at the time. Roger Freeman at Showbiz 411 also said Stella was screening all of Mariah's calls. I'm sure her new management brought Morgans interview to her attention not Stella.

I'm 100% sure that Mariah google her name everyday. The same way she knows everything about her chart history.

Like do some people have anything worthy to add to the conversation other than YouTube comments trash. We have to got to raise the standards and clean out the thread of users who repeatedly bring nothing . Its making the rest of us not want to sit at a table with annoying fleas and ticks .
