Mariah Carey’s large earrings are almost as distracting as her cleavage, and along with her incapability of eloquent discourse, it’s hard to take her seriously. But abuse, on the other hand, is serious. Mariah Carey appeared on Larry King Live on November 4, mainly to promote her new album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” but also to discuss her love life and her thoughts on motherhood.
Most of the interview was your typical ditzy celebrity responses, however King climaxed the interview when asking Carey about Rihanna, and the abusive circumstances she went through. Carey defends Rihanna, stating how difficult it is to get out of an abusive relationship, and then goes on to admit that she has been in emotionally and mentally abusive relationships (and overtly alludes to her marriage with Tommy Mottola)
Carey states, “Abuse has several categories. It’s scary. You get into a situation and you feel locked in.” The following morning, Rihanna appeared on Good morning America admitting that it was wrong of her to go back to Chris Brown after he beat her.
We all know that young girls struggle with trying to be as skinny, beautiful and desirable as celebrities. But very few celebrities offer an image or a story that can actually have a profoundly positive effect on their female fans. I hope this inspires women to start talking about what they experience, and to not be ashamed. Carey is right: abuse comes in many categories. It’s not just physical. Sadly, women are too afraid or too attached to leave it or even admit that it’s abuse in the first place. Some, like Rihanna, are embarrassed that they even let themselves get there. If it can happen to Mariah and Rihanna, it could happen to you.

Was the bitch-bashing of Mariah Carey really necessary?
I’m not infatuated with her but honestly??
Mariah Carey’s large earrings are almost as distracting as her cleavage, and along with her incapability of eloquent discourse, it’s hard to take her seriously.
It’s hard to take YOU seriously when you’re so blatantly sexist as to say something along the lines of “She dresses ’sexy’ so she must be stupid. Boobs = dumb.”
Agreed.
Mariah is ridiculous and I don’t believe one word of what she says. Tommy Mottola made her career, she would be nothing without him.
MARIAH CAREY is another victim of the showbiz, believe it or not. U have no fuckin clue whats going on behind the curtains. They show u only what they want to see or they think what ud want to see. Yes, MARIAH and her sister were abused. Now, Mottola the mobster took another slave, THALIA, after he got tired of Mariah (and JLO). MOTTOLA is affiliated with the mafia. What others details u need, Peggy?
Um, how bout some actual PROOF of this alleged mob connection? And for your info Mariah herself credited Tommy with giving her a career. Do you think it’s some kind of coincidence that confessions like this come out when there is something to promote?
Personally, I don’t think that Peggy Olsen is a real person.
I think that *she* is a plant, sent to incite more comments.
C’mon. NO ONE is this thick headed. Just look at the comments made on the assertive speaking post. *she* was begging for it.
