Mariah Carey To Be Deposed After Her Brother Claims She Lied About Him In Her Memoir

Mariah Carey will be questioned under oath on Jan. 17 after her brother, Morgan Carey, alleged that she lied about him in her memoir. 

The singer, 55, will be deposed by her brother’s lawyers after he sued her in 2021 over claims that she made false statements about him in her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. 

Mariah will be videotaped during the in-person interview. 

The alleged dishonest words from Mariah claim that Morgan was violent toward her and her family, that he sold drugs in the 1980s while employed at a New York City night club and that he had spent time in prison.

“I was a little girl with very few memories of a big brother who protected me,” she wrote. “More often, I felt I had to protect myself from him, and sometimes I would find myself protecting my mother from him too.”

In a separate passage, she described Moran as a “sometimes drug-dealing, been-in-the-system, drunk a– brother.”

Additionally, the lawsuit references a section in her book where Mariah alludes to her brother’s supposed drug deals by claiming he “discreetly supplied the beautiful people with their powdered party favors,” which Morgan’s lawyer says is “reasonably understood as a reference to cocaine.”

Morgan has denied all claims, noting in the lawsuit that she brought “emotional distress” on him and caused “serious damage” to his reputation. 

“[Morgan] brings this action more in sorrow and disappointment in his sister’s betrayals and malicious falsehoods than in anger at them,” the lawsuit said.

In February 2022, a judge dismissed most of the lawsuit, but allowed two parts to continue: claims that Morgan dealt drugs and the implication that he spent time in prison. 

In an affidavit filed in the case in August 2022, the singer said she stood by her claims “as fully accurate, as stated in my own literary style.”

The siblings have had a rocky relationship for decades – reportedly not speaking to one another since 1994. 

While Morgan has been actively fighting his sister, he is not the only sibling to cross swords with the star. 

Their late sister, Allison, who died at the age of 63 in August, also sued over Mariah’s claims of her “pimping out” and drugging the singer when she was 12. 

In response, Mariah’s lawyers filed court papers ordering Allison to submit a complaint “setting forth in detail her claims in this action.”

Since then, no other court filings appear to have been made in the case.
