Her brother, Morgan Carey, wants her back in court a few weeks after she lost her mother and sister on the same day in August.
A judge has mandated that the siblings appear for depositions in his lawsuit by January 31, 2025, according to records obtained by News.
Three days after the deaths of Carey’s mother Patricia and sister Alison, the order was filed on August 27.
I lost my mother this past weekend, and it shattered my heart,” Carey said at the time to People magazine. “Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day.”
Carey continued, “I consider myself fortunate to have had the final week with my mother before she died away. “During this impossible time, I am grateful for everyone’s love, support, and respect for my privacy.
The lawsuit was filed in response to Morgan’s defamation lawsuit against Carey from 2021. Morgan claims that several references to him in Carey’s memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, from 2020 are “false and defamatory, personally invasive and painful, and have caused serious damage to his reputation and to his personal and business affairs.”
According to Morgan’s initial complaint, “the damage was intended,” and it cites an Oprah Winfrey interview in which Carey stated that he “drew first blood” and referred to him as her “ex-brother.”
