Mariah Carey is slamming a report that claims she thought Jennifer Aniston was Reese Witherspoon while attending a Variety event last week. The 49-year-old singer was honored at the Power of Women Luncheon and Jennifer was another honoree at the event.
When she arrived on stage, Mariah's teleprompter went out in the middle of her speech and she said she "predicted it".
"This is why I have cue cards because I was watching Reese Witherspoon doing her speech - I am completely off speech right now - why can't it be the one that's right in front of you? Oh Lord, well I will just get into it and trust these prompters will work," Mariah told the crowd.
Jennifer had spoken before Mariah and media outlets in attendance reported that the singer confused the actress with Reese. Mariah was really referring to Reese's speech at the Power of Women event in 2014, where she gave a speech referencing the teleprompter going out.
"That's idiotic. Daily Mail, Mirror, Metro, Buzzfeed. You're mistaken and didn't do research. Trust me, I know the difference. I know them. If this is your takeaway from an event that celebrates women, shame on you! I was referring to Reese's speech below," Mariah tweeted with a link to the speech.
