Additional Information: read below 1. Correction Mariah was born in 1970, not 1969 as stated in the video. My apologies 2. Because I like to insert interviews that reflect the specific time period we are discussing, some of these interviews are old and have poor audio quality. Please keep that in mind when watching the video, especially if wearing headphones. 3. Lastly, I had a bad flare -up and was really sick when I recorded this episode. There may be sections where my voice is hoarse. Apologies in advance! I hope you enjoy this episode and find it informative and insightful! Have a wonderful week! -BE

I find it so telling that when her mom was asked why she felt comfortable with Mariah, HER YOUNG DAUGHTER, staying up late with older male musicians, she just said that she knew she would be a singer. She didn't say that she knew she was safe. She didn't seem concerned at all for her daughter's safety. I think her mom wanted her fame, but she couldn't have it, so she helped her daughter achieve it, but then resented her for it. How can someone be jealous of their own child?! That is WILD to me.

It's called being a narcissist ✌

[@gebruederflausch]

I used to belong to the the music world (the technically trained musicians, music school, opera, recording, competitions, choral singing, etc. of those sort. The pro music world)... And I can say that I have met a lot of people just like her mom. Like A LOT! Jealousy is pretty rampant there. Everyone knows they're good & see everyone as competition (this also explains her mom's jealousy towards her). That's how it is there. What she said about Mariah staying up late is literally how it is to be a singer. We stay up late until everything is perfect. The rehearsals were brutal! More with the recording or days before the show. Everything needs to be perfect or else no one's coming home. Our time isn't fixed to our homes' curfews but to when our conductor or musical director's find our performance near perfection. We can't call sick, & if we are, you will be treated like you're the weakest link. There's so much sacrifice needs to be done technically that no normal person (not a professional musician living in our world of music) can ever understand. It explains as to why her mom isn't always home... because we are trained to think that our 1st priority is our music/rehearsal/show/group, never our family. It's not the money but the art (I see that's complete BS now!). We rehearse day & night. The abuse was like a normal thing too. You can suffer more if you ain't as perfect as everyone. It is only now (20 years after) that I realized that everything was in fact abuse & not only because our conductor is triggered to get a tantrum for not hearing the perfect pitch he expected to hear. So, yeah, you're right when you said that her mom never care about her safety, but I truly believe that what I just described is what she really meant with her answer. 😊 Just my 2 cents on why her mom's like that. And I totally contradict what the other comment said. It's not mental health issue all the time & it's not narcissism. She's just a musician.

Ugh. I hate how outsiders were judging her for the weird gr00ming behavior of Tommy and saying she was sleeping her way to success, when it's so clear that she was being preyed upon. I know we always talk about hindsight bias and not judging the way things were in the past thru the ethics of the present, but it still breaks my heart to know she was suffering like that at such a young age and people were ready to shame and blame her instead of see that she needed help!

I believe Jaguar Wright. She was in the industry. She knows what's up.

[@CeeCeeiiNDiiG0]

​@@silenceisgold758 not saying there wasn't an inappropriate relationship that played a role, but I'm saying we as a society see it purely as a blame game where the victim of a power imbalance is the one taking the blame. For example, Mariah couldn't have been his main reason for his contentious marriage, since he said himself he was "already unhappy". All I'm saying is it's rarely as simple as, "girl sleeps with xyz to get a leg up" and it's been shown time and time again. The framing of it all needs more nuance, especially when we consider how young she was. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@universojuanluis12]

Well Mariah was 24 and tommy was 43 when they were together! In the beginning I thought they did last because of the age difference and Mariah's inexperience in a relationship because of her age! But after a watched this video I can see why they didn't last long together it was mainly because of the absence of love and something even psychological deeper and is the Life and the environment she grow up with. And her parents with a disfuncional relationship. Her mother and father where together for 13 years only,her sister living the life she lived,etc! Tommy got married to Thalia(Mexican singer and actress, two years younger than Mariah) in the Year 2000 and the still together they have two beautiful children and their relationship and love keeps growing strong!! Thalia comes from a very solid family bond like the vast majority of Mexicans and Italians, are family oriented! Like Jennifer Lopez, Mariah is the kind of person that would be better without relationship or married to a man!

[@HelloNewMoon]

This is so surreal to me at this point in my life. My grandfather worked for Mottola. I remember in the 90’s right after he retired I was watching Mariah on TV and my grandpa walks in and starts shaking his head. He said something like “my Boss…we had to stop everything for her. Anything she wanted, we had to drop it all and get it done for her. He was obsessed.” I was young and I didnt really get what he was talking about. After that any time he heard me listening to her or watching her on TV he’d shake his head and say some version of the same thing with sort of a sad look. Later on I realized there were a few reasons besides my age that I didnt get it. My mother (my grandfathers daughter) had a 20 year age gap from my father. I didnt understand what implications that had back then. I honestly felt better when I saw it elsewhere. As I got older and I began coming to terms with how my parents relationship started and then once in a while would hear about Mottola and Mariah I started to figure out why my grandfather always looked so upset when he was reminded of her. In the 80s he had seen his daughter (my mom) begin a relationship with my father when she was 19 and he was 40 married and an ad exec on madison ave. Then just a few years later had his boss doing something similar with Mariah and he working under him had to work toward whatever he wanted for her. It was just this tiny part of my childhood and watching this still has me reflecting on Mariah’s experience and also my moms. Of course my mom was no pop star, and its a very different situation but its just crazy to think of my grandpa 96 and still kicking watching Mariah at Christmas time and still shaking his head at whatever he knew back then.

Tommy Mottola: "What didn't work, the way I saw it, was the marriage I was in; and what did work was the strong bond based in music that I had seen between Gloria and Emilio Estefan, I'd seen that bond work for Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, and later I would come to see how it worked for Celine Dion and René Angélil". Since we're making comparisons here, his thoughts should have heavily emphasized the relationship dynamics between Whitney Houston and Clive Davis. That was a relationship that involved talent management, mentorship, commercial success, business... and that's all. Exactly what Tommy Mottola should have seen from the start.

One of my favorite songs of Mariah is My All which is about her affair with another man when she was still married to Tommy. It was amazing, she was very bold and gutsy to make Tommy listen to it and release the song. Which is the right choice! It's one of her greatest hits. And it is so distasteful how he whines that Mariah goes clubbing with her friends, she is in her twenties what the hell did he expect?! She was suffocated and not allowed to express herself. Did he really expect her to not act her age and enjoy life?

She speaks with such grace; it’s clear she’s someone who has earned every bit of peace she has, after the hell she has gone through in life. I’ve always loved her music, found her voice transcendent, and now I love and respect her even more. Thanks so much for making this video. Mottola was abusive and it’s sad and sick to hear his PR-like denials of it. His statement was very telling, saying he “didn’t force her to sell 10 million albums” is classic abuser language… aka distract from the real issue with “what about everything I did for you?” ps- someone who uses language like they “bust through concrete walls” for someone is scary. I’m so happy she has found her freedom, and her voice, and her self again.

This story resonates with me so much. I was born the youngest of 4 kids, and so my moms boss at the time took me to ward with his wife in order to help my struggling mom. So I grew up with an extremely wealthy white family till my teens, and unfortunately, there was a messy divorce, and my mom wanted me to come back to live with her in the township and there was nothing that could be done as i wasnt adopted. Unfortunately, my black family hated me from day one for having opportunities that they never had. They hated that I acted "white" and that I was still going to expensive schools and getting opportunities that they didn't. To say they made my life hell would be putting it mildly. I basically paid for a decision that happened when I was a toddler. Unfortunately, they all died one by one from poor life decisions and left me with all the survivors' guilt. So I have done well for myself, but I am forever 16 stuck in that trauma.

I was fascinated with her energy, passionate soul and music growing up. It’s very comforting to hear someone I looked up to (& was my first same sex crush) for so long that she too went through similar experiences. Extreme betrayals, violations & control from interpersonal relationships, family chaos & completely estranged from toxic families, always feeling out of place, confusion and experiencing loneliness in being mixed race. It really impacts someone for almost all their life if the two family systems of difference races and their cultures don’t harmonize and especially betray you. You constantly feel like you don’t belong anywhere and are treated differently.. for better or for worse. It really takes alot of mental strength to not feel complete disgust about those parts of your blood and remember those parents were just shitty people on their own. Please reconsider having mixed children for ‘glamorous’ & narcissist reasons if both parents won’t harmonize both cultures full of love. It’s a polarizing experience rarely discussed.

Feel better soon Be! ❤ Thanks again for another documentary gem! I’m so glad Mariah Carey managed to get out of that relationship and is living the life she wants to live. One thing she’s been consistent on is going to Six Flags Great Adventure every season with her kids. It may sound small but for what Mariah Carey went through, it’s a big way of shifting out of a toxic cycle and making sure it doesn’t continue to the next generation. I remember some of the stories MJ would tell about Mottola during the early 2000s and the ways he mistreated not only Carey but also him, Prince, and George Michael. Mottola was horrible in personal relationships and in the way he treated artists under Sony at the time.

[@betheecommentator]

[@JuriAmari]

@@betheecommentator I’d love to see it. Mottola would definitely be an episode all his own! I’m curious about other music agents/managers like Barry Gordy and Clive Davis. They played big parts of shaping decades of music and some of the artists who left Motown and Arista (Sony in the case of Mottola) came away with precarious positions in their careers. Carey was definitely one of the lucky ones and I think experience & awareness played a big role in her not getting too sucked into the notoriety trap; the biggest proof is in not selling her masters due to paying attention to the Beatles

She still denies that she depended on me so much when my sister was born until she was about 5. I moved across country at that point just to get away from the responsibilities of a child that wasn't mine and honestly was bad AF, too lol. It allows me to finally spread my wings and fly!

Mariah is such a strong Aries queen..I love her tenacity and the success she’s had..she’s been thrown so many curveballs and she may have stumbled here and there but has always come back harder and stronger than ever before..if that isn’t a true Aries I don’t know what is ❤❤

My sister and brother was both Aries ♈️ 🙄
