Los Angeles, CA – Mariah Carey’s estranged relationship with her late sister, Alison Carey, has come under scrutiny after reports emerged that Mariah never reached out to Alison despite knowing of her sister’s deteriorating health.
Alison’s close friend, David Baker, revealed that Mariah did not make any effort to contact her older sister during their estrangement, even when Alison was placed on hospice care weeks before her passing. Baker mentioned that a simple phone call or video call from Mariah would have meant a lot to Alison, but it never happened.
Furthermore, Baker noted that Alison was deeply hurt by Mariah’s decision to cut off contact, adding that the rejection only added to Alison’s emotional pain. In fact, Alison frequently discussed her doubts about whether Mariah or any of her relatives would attend her funeral, highlighting the strained family dynamics.
The sad news of Alison’s passing came over the weekend, coinciding with the death of their mother, Patricia Carey. Mariah confirmed the tragic events in a statement, expressing gratitude for being able to spend time with her mother before her passing and thanking everyone for their support during this challenging time.
Alison’s struggles with alcohol addiction and various health issues, including a traumatic brain injury, vision problems, and digestive disorders, were also highlighted in court documents related to a lawsuit filed by Mariah’s siblings following the release of her memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” in 2020.
The strained relationship between Mariah and her siblings, including Alison and her brother Morgan Carey, continues to be a point of contention, with legal battles and emotional distress playing a significant role in their interactions. Despite the family challenges, Mariah’s fans continue to show support and empathy during these difficult times.
