There is definite bad blood between Mariah Carey and her sister Alison.
According to Page Six, Alison has filed a lawsuit against her for using, “her status as a public figure to attack her penniless sister, generating sensational headlines describing lurid claims to promote sales of her book.”
The book in question is Mariah’s memoir which she published last year: The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
The charges of the lawsuit claim, “intentional infliction of immense emotional distress caused by defendant’s heartless, vicious, vindictive, despicable and totally unnecessary public humiliation of defendant’s’ already profoundly damaged older sister.”
And naturally the lawsuit is no small amount, with Alison suing Mariah for a total of $1.25 million dollars.
As reported by the New York Post, it seems that Mariah spared no detail in the book, telling all and hence spilling the tea.
The Post summarised “10 juicy highlights” from Mariah’s memoir, those highlights being incredibly intimate and very revealing facets of the singer’s personal life.

Some of the things Mariah shares in her memoir include that she grew up in a violent household, Christmas wasn’t a happy time for her growing up and also that her older sister once drugged her when she 12 during a creepy car ride (with Alison’s boyfriend).
If you aren’t quite up to speed with all of Mariah’s personal affairs, including her troubled relationship with her older sister, you wouldn’t know that according to the New York Post, she suffers from PTSD, anxiety and depression due to her past, which includes her long history with prostitution.
The court documents go into further detail of what she suffers from.
As per Page Six, Alison claims to have sent an offer to Carey’s lawyers at the beginning of January to settle the lawsuit. However the court documents allege that she has not yet heard back.
