Mariah Carey:”I didn’t really want to get married.”

October 3rd, 2009

In a very honest interview with Emma Brockes, for The Guardian, singer Mariah Carey tells all. On her tumultuous marriage to Tommy Mottola, Carey says “I didn’t really want to get married. But he was so, like, we have to get married. I ended up getting into it because of the wedding and the dress and the whole thing.” She left the marriage and their sprawling mansion with nothing but childhood photos and “little things like that”. She went on to live in hotels for a couple of years.

She also says she’s not a fan of rapper Eminem. She knew him. kind of vaguely, eight years ago, on a purely platonic level she says, “and then he wasn’t my friend any more and I was like, OK, whatever. And this was eight years ago and he’s just writing this song. For no reason. No reason.” She laughs at the fact that her husband, Nick is still saying “”he is going to slap him if he ever sees him.” About the infamous Eminem song; “He wrote a song about me and my husband, and in a really derogatory and juvenile way. And it’s not up to par with his other songs. See, the difference is, my song is on the radio and his, you have to search for it.”

I loved this interview! Mariah has been speaking quite candidly as of late and I think that shows a sign of comfort with herself and her marriage to Nick. Good look for you Mimi!
