Morgan Carey: Last News

died on the same day as their mom Patricia, 87, this past weekend. Both causes of death are unknown.David Baker, a friend of Alison’s for nine years, told PEOPLE that Alison and Mariah hadn’t seen each other since either 1994 or 2002.Four years ago, Mariah explained that she cut ties with Alison, Patricia and her brother, Morgan Carey, in her 2000 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.”“For my sanity and peace of mind, my therapist encouraged me to literally rename and reframe my family,” she wrote in her book.“My mother became Pat to me, Morgan my ex-brother and Alison my ex-sister … I had to stop expecting them to one day miraculously become the mommy, big brother and big sister I fantasized about.“I had to stop making myself available to be hurt by them.

Mariah Carey must face accusations that she defamed her brother in her memoir, a judge ruled earlier this week (February 15).Last year, Carey’s older brother sued the singer for defamation and emotional distress which he alleges was caused by her best-selling autobiography, The Meaning Of Mariah Carey.Carey’s brother claims to have suffered “extreme mental anguish” and “serious damage to his reputation” as a result of the book.While the judge did dismiss numerous allegations made by her brother relating to several passages in the book, she did rule that Morgan Carey could sue his sister for defamation over two passages that claimed he had sold drugs and had “been in the system”.In her decision, Justice Barbara Jaffe wrote: “Although Carey maintains that the phrase ‘sometimes drug dealing’ is a ‘rhetorical epithet,’ in light of the earlier statement that plaintiff had supplied clubgoers with ‘powdered party favours,’ the average reader could understand this phrase to mean that plaintiff had committed a serious crime.”She continued: “The context reasonably permits an average reader to conclude that Carey refers in this statement to cocaine, which is a controlled substance, the possession and/or sale of which is proscribed by New York law…It thus implies that plaintiff committed a serious crime and is sufficient to support [an] action for defamation per se.”A solicitor said Morgan was “pleased” by the judge’s decision. NME has reached out to representatives of Mariah Carey for comment.

Mariah Carey is facing another family legal dispute after her estranged brother filed suit over allegations made in her memoir. Morgan Carey claimed his superstar sister falsely painted him as a violent man in her 2020 autobiography, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, in which the singer described a struggle between him and their father, which sparked a call to the police.
