Alison Carey sues singer Mariah Carey for emotional distress

Alison Carey, Mariah Carey’s elder sister, is suing her for intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to Alison, the emotional distress is over her sister’s claims in her book The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which came out in September 2020.

In the lawsuit, Alison claims that Mariah made atrocious claims about her while knowing that she was struggling with the trauma of alleged childhood abuse by their mother, Patricia Carey. Alison claims that while she was in her pre-teens, Patricia forced her to attend “terrifying middle of the night satanic worship meetings that included ritual sacrifices and sexual activity.”

Meanwhile, in Mariah’s book, she claims that she felt neglected throughout her childhood. She also claims that Alison contributed to her unstable childhood.
