Mariah Carey’s brother sues her for emotional distress

Mariah Carey

Morgan Carey, elder brother of pop star Mariah Carey, is suing the singer for defamation and infliction of emotional distress caused by her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Filed in New York Supreme Court, the lawsuit claims that the memoir contains passages that are false and defamatory, according to reports.

Co-author Michaela Angela Davis and Macmillan Publishing Group are also listed as defendants. The suit read, "[Morgan] brings this action more in sorrow and disappointment in his sister's betrayals and malicious falsehoods than in anger at them. He is by no means envious of his sister's enormous artistic and personal success, has enjoyed his own successes both professional and personal and has always wished her well."

The court document lists a slew of memoir passages that Morgan says are false. The suit also stressed that the damage was intentional, pointing out a pre-publication interview Mariah did with Oprah Winfrey. His actions follow in the footsteps of their sister, Alison Carey, who also sued Mariah for emotional distress caused by the memoir. She has demanded $1.25 million in damages.
