Mariah Carey's estranged sister Alison is suing the star for $1.25million, claiming her 2020 tell-all memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey caused 'immense emotional distress.'
Alison, 59,
says that Mariah, 50, lied about her older sibling drugging her and her older
brother Morgan abusing her as a child in the book.
The elder Ms.
Carey - who described herself as 'profoundly damaged' - said that the Butterfly
singer fabricated the stories 'to promote sales of her book' and offered no
'evidence to substantiate' her claims, according to legal documents obtained by
TMZ.
Mariah
recalls her troubled childhood in the chapter 'Dandelion Tea,' claiming Alison
'gave her Valium, tried to pimp her out and threw a cup of boiling hot tea on
her causing third-degree burns' at 12-years-old, according to Alison's
Manhattan Supreme Court summons filed Monday.
Alison, who
is representing herself in the case, says the Honey songstress made the untrue
claims despite knowing the damage it would cause her, given her personal trauma
and health troubles.
She cited
trauma stemming from the alleged 'satanic' abuse she suffered at the hands of
their mother Patricia, which are the subject of another suit Alison Carey filed
against her mom last year, per Page Six.
She also said
Mariah was aware her sister was suffering from spine and digestive disorders
and a traumatic brain injury, short term memory problems and vision problems
after being attacked in 2015 in an 'unsolved home invasion.'
Alison - who
is HIV+ has been arrested for soliciting prostitution in the past - also said
she was struggling with alcohol abuse after having been sober for 'a long
time.'
With this in
mind, Alison says her famous sister maliciously 'used her status as a public
figure to attack her penniless sister, generating sensational headlines
describing lurid claims to promote sales of her book.'
Hence the
suing.
