Mariah Carey Getting Closer to Releasing Abuse Details
Mariah Carey is one of those ladies that really seems to show off the vixen no matter what shape or size she is in, and here she is showing off her glorious vixen shape while filming a new music video on the beach in Los Angeles. The Precious pop star oozed nothing but glam as she danced and sang for the camera while wearing a revealing but sexy one piece suit. And though she looks happy and sexy and uber glam right here, we do know that this Precious girl has a little bit of a dark history. She has in the past alluded to a history of abuse, and now it seems that as time passes, she is willing to offer a little more insight into this. She has officially come out admitting she was ”abused” in a relationship, hinting it was at the hands of ex-husband Tommy Mottola. Mariah Carey- who married actor-and-rapper Nick Cannon in 2008 – has spoken out about how she has been affected by the struggle she faced in previous relationships and hinted her ex-husband Tommy Mottola was responsible for her ordeal. On abuse she says,
“Abuse has several categories. Emotionally, mentally, in other ways. I just think you get into a situation and you feel locked in. If your situation is similar to one of the situations I’ve been in, which I won’t harp on. For me, to really get out, it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage but a business thing where the person was in control of my life.”
Mariah wed music executive Tommy in 1993 after he signed her to the music label CBS Records. They separated just three years later and divorced in 1998. And what has led Mariah to this public admission? The heated case of Rihanna and Chris Brown. The 40-year-old beauty spoke out in support of ‘Rehab’ singer Rihanna, who was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown earlier this year following a pre-Grammy’s party. Mariah flat out admitted she can empathize with the 21-year-old starlet’s experience of domestic abuse. She told TV talk show host Larry King:
“I was very sequestered, as you know, when I first started out and if I were just allowed to be young and with a young boyfriend who’s also a star and you know, you’re working and you’re both ? I don’t know what goes on. You know what I mean? So it’s like, I wasn’t really allowed out of the house, so I can’t imagine what she went through.”
Yes, isolation is definitely a hallmarker of abusers, so we can only hope that any woman connected with the man Mariah is referring to is extremely careful. But what else is Mariah up to, and can we expect more smiles than not in the future? Children may be on the way, as the singer-turned-actress says she is desperate to have children with Nick, but is waiting for a gap in her career.
“Being pregnant would be the happiest thing in my life, but what I’m saying is right now with this movie ‘Precious’ coming out, with the next few singles from the album and those things that I’m doing, I need to focus on that because I cannot do the having-a-child thing halfway.”
And no, when it comes to Mariah, we certainly wouldn’t ask for anything but a job well done, but that’s not something we have to worry about with this one, is it?
