Ellen DeGeneres' show continues to be criticized. Mariah Carey also struggled with the aftermath of an action by the US presenter.
Behind the scenes of the US talk show by Ellen DeGeneres (62) there is said to be a "highly toxic" climate. Those responsible and the moderator have been criticized for several weeks. In the course of this, her dealings with Mariah Carey (50, "The Rarities"), who many years ago almost forced her to share a pregnancy with the public, went through social media again. According to a recent interview with "Vulture", the singer had to struggle with the consequences of this situation for a long time.
In 2008 there were rumors that Carey was pregnant. DeGeneres had approached the singer, who did not want to comment, on her show. She forced her to have a glass of champagne, which Carey refused to drink because of the alcohol content. This is how pregnancy came to light. "I can't believe you did this to me, Ellen," Carey said on camera. Shortly afterwards, the now 50-year-old suffered a miscarriage.
"What should I have done?"
"I can only say that I felt extremely uncomfortable at that moment," the singer describes her emotional state at the time. It was very difficult for her to deal with the aftermath. "I wasn't ready to tell anyone (about the pregnancy, editor's note) because I'd had a miscarriage before."
Carey does not want to step on someone who is already on the ground, "but I did not enjoy that moment". In such situations, according to the singer, you can proceed more empathically, which she would have liked. "But what should I have done?"
