Breakups are never easy, but they seem especially shitty for the most famous people in the world. We ain’t exactly fans of having emotional trauma perpetually critiqued and exploited, and we wouldn’t be keen on facing paparazzi harassment one hundo percent of the time.
Same goes when we think ’bout the ultimate diva Mariah Carey, who has certainly invited a shitload of media attention in the past. After being judged on her wild dressing room requests or having her “failed” marriages interrogated, she’s now facing scrutiny over her just-toasted relationship with Aussie billionaire James Packer.
Why would they do this to her? Why? Does the woman with the voice of heaven incarnate – the angel who brought us such classics as Honey and Touch My Body – not deserve the utmost respect?
In any case, Carey has stayed mum on the topic – until now. As all celebs are wont to do, she opened up on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, obviously, as Ellen is everything that is right with the world encapsulated in one little person (as Obama so beautifully acknowledged yesterday).
“I think I am doing well,” Carey said when asked about the split, before acknowledging that “everything happens for a reason.” She changed the subject pretty promptly by complimenting Ellen on her furniture (a timeless non sequitur, tbh), but it was good to see her open up in a relatively safe space, even just a little bit.
Stay strong, Mariah. We’ve got you girl. Hear her speaking about the breakup from 5:18.
