Mariah Carey’s Brother Files Defamation Suit Against The Singer

Mariah Carey’s brother, Morgan Carey, has filed a lawsuit for defamation and emotional distress with New York’s supreme court over her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey.

Suing for unspecified damages, Morgan Carey asserts that the memoir falsely suggests he is violent. According to his legal case, he’s suffering from “extreme mental anguish” and “serious damage to his reputation.” Morgan alleges that it has negatively impacted his developing film negotiations too.

In the memoir, Mariah describes a fight during her childhood between Morgan and their father. Mariah claims that 12 cops were called to the fight under domestic violence reports. Morgan responded that the described altercation is untrue and that typically only one or two cops would have responded to the scene.

Among other assertions about the memoir, Morgan claims that he was not approached before the publication to discuss or comment on the allegations; and he believes that Mariah is “playing the victim card.”

Mariah’s sister, Alison Carey, filed a lawsuit earlier this month over the memoir for $1.25 million. Alison Carey described the memoir’s allegations towards her as “outrageous” and “cruel.”

Manhattan filed papers state, “Morgan brings this action more in sorrow and disappointment in his sister’s betrayals and malicious falsehoods than in anger at them.”

Mariah has not commented about the lawsuits publically. Co-author Michaela Angela Davis, publisher Macmillan, and the imprint Andy Cohen Books are named in the case and have yet to respond.

Admired by critics, The Meaning of Mariah Carey was published in September and topped the New York Time’s best-seller list in October. The autobiography describes her rise to fame, encounters with racism, marriages, life lessons, and family life.
