Re: If it was me (87,649) (87,654) by Dove from United States MusicfanJ, I think we were all thinking that when the awkward Instagram pictures and videos were surfacing. It was a weird time for all of us. Whatever is on these recordings, I don't think it would be that damaging to her career. MC has a loyal fan base and the people who would have a problem are the people who don't buy her music anyway. I just hate the thought of the assistant making money off of things she stole from MC.

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,632) (87,652) by Lila from United States It goes without saying that there would be some level of scandal. That can't be avoided should something of that nature exist and be released. Many A and B celebrities wouldn't be immune to that and many of them also do not have images akin to Cardi B's. I'd say Cardi more of an outlier than the rule. Classy is something many fans see Mariah as. I don't think that's the first word most of the general public would use unless referencing her 90's persona. So, I don't think that's anything to worry about in the sense that she'll be crucified because so many thought she was so classy these days. If another big name singer's performance on a big platform on NYE had gone as poorly as Mariah's had on NYE, a time of the year where there's usually not a lot of competition for headlines, they would've been big news too. That didn't have to do with high standards for Mariah but the nature of news and her being famous. Not to forget, she and her partner in crime were keeping the ball rolling with talk of suing DCP and them foiling her. Things would've blown over a lot sooner had they not egged it on. I think this would be similar to that. It would make headlines and be talked about because she is very famous and it would make for good gossip. People would talk, criticize, and joke but I think most of the public would chalk it up to yet another antic in a long line of ridiculous antics and eventually it would all blow over as long as there was no one egging it on.

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,634) (87,651) by Andrew from London UK At least get the name right. And proceed with caution. (Sunday 20 January 2019; 14:56)

Thimothée Chalamet in "Giving Me Life" music video (87,650) by MC1989 from Spain One of my favourite actors and one of the world's most popular ones, Thimothée Chalamet, revealed he loves "Giving Me Life" and he even lip-synched and danced to the song on a TV program. If I was Mariah's manager, I would contact him immediately and ask him to appear in "Giving Me Life" video. He's super talented, young and very popular, so I would use his popularity and influence and release that song, which is a fan favourite, and Caution's most acclaimed song by the critics.

Re: If it was me (87,647) (87,649) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I think about people who are icons like Elvis, The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe." Paloma but that was a time where the internet and the smartphones didn't exist. That today a grownup global superstar like Mariah is so naive, I can't understand as much as I try to. I mean to hang out with trash people (her old team) and thinking it's ok, nothing will happen, I don't get it. The Instagram videos at that time were embarrassing enough. What was MC thinking? I mean we are talking about Mariah Carey not about a reality TV star. For me it's unbelievable, that she trusted Crustella and her clan. With Amy Winehouse, it was the worst. Because of the clips everybody could see the creeping decay of her as a person and artist. It was heartbreaking. Some videos should have never get public. (Sunday 20 January 2019; 12:16)

Re: A No No (87,644) (87,648) by Dove from United States I agree. I hate the countdown posts. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 23:53)

If it was me (87,647) by Dove from United States I always try to put myself in the position of "if it was me" and if I was a world famous celebrity and I was being blackmailed I think I would just go with it and embrace the narrative. I wouldn't let anyone blackmail me into concealing a part of me that is or was real. I think about people who are icons like Elvis, The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, The Kennedy's; even recent ones like Amy Winehouse and Britney - what makes them interesting are the grittier parts that are embarrassing but also make them feel human to us. It's even better if they overcome, we all want to watch people be victorious. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 23:52)

Re: Random thoughts (87,639) (87,646) by Dove from United States The background of those videos look good but her face looks weird in them, like the film is stretched out. Infinity, CTTA, and #Beautiful too. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 22:22)

A No No (87,645) by We are Lambily from USA I don't know if it's true but a guy who has some kind of connection with Lil Kim said he heard the track with a couple of DJs and that Cardi B is on it. I don't hear it but apparently that video that leaked with the director "who is a hot deal since he is also working on Meek and Drake video for their single", some hear Cardi B but I did hear a whistle note. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 21:04)

Re: A No No (87,642) (87,644) by Shezz from Pk They're clearly keeping a tight lid on things with this remix. I hope it just drops one day out of the blue - video and all, instead of the usual countdown posts Mariah loves to do. It'll be exciting to see who all finally made the remix from Lil Kim, Cardi and Missy. Fingers crossed. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 18:37)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,634) (87,643) by anonymous from UK Wait, what have I done? (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:45)

A No No (87,642) by B from USA Is Cardi featured on the remix or not? (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:45)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey sues personal assistant (87,623) (87,641) by B from USA Right? I'm almost ceartin she's Stella's cousin. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:37)

Caution (87,640) by anonymous from UK Since Christmas and the whole festive period has thankfully left us (sorry to be a Scrooge, I just wasn't feeling it this season haha), I'm back to my usual routines, with an added guest - the album, Caution. I literally listen to it at least once a day. I loved it at first listen and it seems to get better the more I listen. The album length is perfect; I neither want more nor less, and it feels like a finished story by the albums close. It feels to me like a novel; the only other MC album I've felt that way about is Butterfly. And just like Butterfly, Caution is a novel I want to reread time and time again. Love it. To hell with charts, whether fans or MC herself cares about them, I don't give a damn anymore. I'll listen to what makes me happy or what I love, and Caution ticks those boxes and many more. I can't gush enough and I ain't sorry about it. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:33)

Re: Random thoughts (87,630) (87,639) by B from USA He directed I Still Believe, Heartbreaker, It's Like That, We Belong Together, Touch My Body, and Obsessed which are considered her best visuals. The only Ratner directed video that I hate is H.A.T.E.U. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:32)

Scandal (87,638) by anonymous from UK Whatever is on those tapes, I don't really care. That, however, is not the point. Whereas I won't judge or even give a damn what she does in private, the sanctimonious public-at-large who have never put a toe wrong in their lives will be baying for blood. I'm sure we all here have done things were aren't proud of or had dark periods in our lives. I'd rather we keep it loving forward as the past can't be changed. Those lawyers had better be on their A game, I don't wanna see Mariah dragged for her personal life, please can we concentrate on the incredible career? That comment is to the world at large not to the Archives family btw. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:28)

A No No features Cardi? (87,637) by Sheila from United States There is a clip from the video shoot on Instagram and it's a female rapper's voice but could not tell if its Cardi or Missy. It's coming. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 13:05)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,627) (87,636) by Bill from the UK Welcome back Chris the Psychologist. What a ridiculous post. We're talking about two people here across Mariah's entire team, both past and present. Plastic surgery is not the work of the devil, sorry to break it to you. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 08:55)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,624) (87,635) by Lara from Middle East Mariah is a very insecure person with trust issues. Mariah and Nick fell apart because Nick couldn't keep his mouth shut and she saw it as a threat to her bubble. Stella came when she was in a very low point (probably in major depression and her bipolar medications would need adjustment) and probably filled her head with her women-empowerment-single-moms-rule speech and liked how she was unapologetic toward her acts so she definitely was drowned into her. She saw something in her just like she saw something in Tommy despite everyone warnings and repeated the same destructive behavior. I know that's just speculation and theories, but it's just my 2 cents. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 08:33)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,627) (87,634) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway So nice to see people her being honest and constructive with their criticism about Mariah after the counter law suit. Look how civilized we are without Anthony. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 08:19)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,626) (87,633) by Licia from USA Special K exactly. Except the part about Banaka. Ew. I don't want to see or even think about that. Gross. Lol. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 05:07)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,621) (87,632) by Marissa from USA I don't know. When I saw the words "embarrassing" and "personal activities" I immediately thought of something sexual. I don't know if that would destroy her career but it would definitely be a scandal that she is vigilantly trying to avoid thus the lawsuit. Also, we have to consider the public perception of her to determine the impact that a sex tape would have. For example, if Cardi B had a sex tape leak it would be talked about but it would technically be "on brand" since her image is usually pretty explicit and even vulgar at times. Just like how her career either wasn't affected or was boosted by the Nicki Minaj fight. It was aligned with her brand so it wasn't considered to be that deep. Mariah shows her cleavage but she still has class about her and is considered the Queen of Christmas, so I don't know if she would face the same immunity that another celebrity would if that happened to them. Same thing with her vocal scandals. Any other celebrity could sound a hot mess and it wouldn't make big news, but because the standard for Mariah was so high due to her track record, the New Years and mic feed scandals were pretty damaging to her reputation at the time. I've already prayed that whatever the evidence is that it won't be leaked so I'm going to have faith in that. She is making so much progress and I don't want anything to derail it.

Rihanna (87,631) by SM from Citizen of the World Rihanna has a short video out and she's playing the end of "A No No". Imagine if she was on the remix? Rihanna & Cardi B? That would be fire. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 04:42)

Random thoughts (87,630) by Dove from United States When Mariah first hired Stella some were saying right away she was bad news based on the Illuminati jewelry. I was happy Mariah was getting new representation and gave Stella the benefit of the doubt. How could we judge a person based on a few pictures? I figured Mariah wouldn't hire her if she sensed anything was off. Looking back at that time, Mariah was having a lot of weird moments. She looked stoned at the Walmart shareholders concert, the wearing of lingerie out in public, just odd behavior. Some pointed out that Stella seemed as though she was trying to be a star and I didn't see anything wrong with that. If I were famous and my friends wanted to be famous, I would help them out. After watching Mariah's World though, I see it differently. They made a comment on how Stella tries to sue everyone and she just seems mean and abusive. She doesn't seem like a person who is loyal (to anyone but her children) or with a strong moral compass. Then that report came out about the hairdresser being caught at the airport with tons of prescription drugs. She wasn't that great of a hairdresser either. I don't think the recordings are sex tapes because Mariah is older and so are her fans. That wouldn't be so damaging. I think it's recordings of her using drugs and acting like a fool. Anna-Nicole Smith style. I still don't want to see them, I want to see Mariah doing well and succeeding. Mariah met Stella through Brett Ratner and I've never trusted him because the videos he makes with her are not good. Someone who cares about you won't let you look bad and charge you tons of money for it. (She can and has made good videos: Fantasty, AIWFCIY, Honey, the MSG concert, UOMF.) I think they're all a bunch of coke heads who saw a jackpot in Mariah who I see as a vulnerable person even though she's not a girl anymore. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 04:12)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,626) (87,629) by Mara from United States Makes you wonder what really went on in that house during those horrible years. I mean a grown woman "holding someone down and peeing on them". What the hell. Makes you think someone has to be on something to do that. And do it more than once too. I hope Mariah learned a lesson this time as it's costing her a lot of money and she keeps her clothes on in front of the "help" anymore and maybe not even have too much to drink around them either as there are cell phones that capture everything now. Seems like after Stella's lawsuit was announces that it was settled, the blackmail must have came to a head with the PA. Stella better hang on to Kelsey Grammer because I don't know how many people are in line to work with her with stories like these. It doesn't make Mariah look too good either sorry to say. Just so happy they are out of her circle at least. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 04:01)
