Re: Rumors and stories so far (67,598) (67,600) by Mara from United States I agree and think the assistant is indeed Stella. If they came out and said "manager" we would all know exactly who they were talking about, hence the word assistant is a bit more vague. We also know Stella's personality is pretty confrontational, unless the assistant was Bryan but he was not in Greece at the time in September. What a mess this is. This has Stella's name all over it. Why feed the fire? Just say they are working things out behind closed doors and trying to resolve some issues or please respect our privacy as we take a break. Anything is better than what is going on. Why try to discredit a persons character? Do they have to state mentally unstable? If Packers team wanted, there are plenty of things they can come back at Mariah with as we have seen from the partying pictures all summer and throughout the tour. Stella needs to stop this and If Mariah ever needed to clean house, now is the time. She should enjoy her Christmas era and Beacon shows and focus on her kids and music. Maybe in the spring go over to South American and do a free public show or two for those fans who are so loyal to her but now very angry. I have to say that indeed maybe James really just found out about the Bryan footage. James doesn't seem to me to come off as a social media type as he seems to important and busy to care, therefore didn't see the pics we all saw during the tour. A lot of MW includes Bryan and Anthony going to zoos with MC and visiting landmarks in those countries so maybe it was too much for him to bear. Who knows? It would explain the abrupt exit of Bryan from Vegas though and maybe why and I hate to say this, maybe why Mariah added Hawaii shows around Thanksgiving. Since James doesn't usually tour with her, she would be able to spend time with Tanaka if he was visiting family over there. Listen to me with my adding fuel to the fire. This all sounds like a Lifetime movie. (Friday 28 October 2016; 15:10)

Re: Stella pictures removed? (67,595) (67,599) by Shezz from Pk I just checked and I think that is correct. I'm pretty sure there were a few pics of her - no sign of any blush or contour there. Strangely enough though Stella just added a pic of Mariah and Mishka titled "faves". (Friday 28 October 2016; 14:23)

Re: Rumors and stories so far (67,593) (67,598) by Susana from USA Let's add Stella to the list of possibilities. She was always there, everywhere. I wonder if the "assistant" they write about is Stella. They probably mean Bryan, but I doubt he was on his boat. He got tired of Stella always being around. I can't blame him really. (Friday 28 October 2016; 14:05)

Re: Packer went beserk on dancer (67,584) (67,597) by Susana from USA Maybe Packer saw the raw footage of Mariah's World. It's possible he doesn't follow social media and is more old school, and wasn't aware of the partying footage. (Friday 28 October 2016; 14:02)

Drama (67,596) by darrian liu from taiwan Fire Stella already. Seriously. Instead of shutting the rumors down, she decided to fire things up. Foolish. Is this what she thinks would pull ratings up for MW? Is this what she thinks would be good for Mariah's image? All these stories being planted are so wack, from Packer's mental problems to violence to Tanaka. Can Stella do anything right? Mariah, why would you let your manager do this? You have nearly 3 decades of experience in this industry. Even I could think of something better for the hype than Stella. Hell, Mariah should fire Stella and make this board her group of managers. We would do a much better job at this. (Friday 28 October 2016; 13:33)

Stella pictures removed? (67,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So according to some UKMix member, all pictures of Stella has been removed from Mariah's instagram. Can anyone confirm this? I don't even remember being any pictures of Stella there. The ones with Mishka are still there. (Friday 28 October 2016; 12:09)

Re: Bryan Tanaka and Anthony Burrell are gay (67,592) (67,594) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It has been established well in advance that Bryan Tanaka is quite straight. He has a girlfriend, or had so as recently as earlier this year. Anthony Burrell is also straight (I don't know if he swings both ways and that's his choice) but he has a kid as well and was rumored to be involved with Rihanna at some point. I don't understand where this "all male dancers are gay" thing comes from? I mean come on, Casper Smart? Kevin Federline? Ariana's donut licking partner? Criss Judd? (Friday 28 October 2016; 12:06)

Rumors and stories so far (67,593) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter A lot doesn't add up. We have so many contradictory stories. Let's make a list. (1) James dumped Mariah because Mariah is extravagant and because he doesn't want to be a part of the reality show. (Um okay so you are telling me that the man who owns one of the biggest water vessels and uses it for vacations year round, along with his private jet and multiple homes is going to have problems with Mariah's spending? Also if he didn't want to be a part of the reality show, it was discussed early on that he won't be a part of it. Then Mariah later said he is in some of it. But why would he suddenly decide he doesn't like it so close to the premier date?) (2) Mariah dumped James because of the alleged fight in Greece. (3) Mariah dumped James because he wasn't there for her and she found comfort in Bryan. (4) Mariah dumped James because James is mentally unstable and has been so for a while. (5) Things started going bad between them when James started suspecting Mariah of having an affair with Bryan which led James to ban/threaten Bryan. (6) The tension started when Mariah didn't attend James's sister's party, that and mother Packer never was fond of Mariah. These are the stories we have until date, let's see what more comes up. (Friday 28 October 2016; 11:59)

Bryan Tanaka and Anthony Burrell are gay (67,592) by Sheila from United States This is a publicity stunt or the relationship is on pause. But not because of Bryan or Anthony, why? [...] are gay. Anthony is known around the [...] area as being "gay" and dating various guys. Bryan is also gay, the gays say. So it's truly not their fault lol. But Nick Cannon, that's who you need to be looking out for, he has looked horrid since they broke up. I'm always amazed that they always blame one of the dancers who usually are gay for sleeping with a diva. (Friday 28 October 2016; 11:43)

Re: E news (67,586) (67,591) by RibbonB from USA But really why would he "allow" any of it? He has been right along from day one. First Mariah is dating Brett, on JP's boat, then weeks later it is revealed that she is actually starting to date James. He signed onto this thing and they have been parading around ever since with the blush queen Stella always present. When Maria's old team dragged Stella in the press, James was right along with Mariah. Never said anything about all the press leaks and TMZ exclusives. There were even stories that he approved of Stella and the show, never a peep from him or Brett. The only one who spoke up about the show being a bad idea was Lee Daniels and later Mariah made a joke of it, at Brett Ratner's house. This has gone on and on, even from all the summer leaks of Mariah drunk in the club with her "help", to him groping her in Italy all for the public to see and discuss. Why would he ever agree to be on a reality show, heck why would Mariah is what I have been asking all along? Money and attention seems to be the key for both. An excursion or something. E news is documenting it all to air it all out on those 8 episodes and they don't care about anything but scaring up some ratings. (Friday 28 October 2016; 11:33)

Re: E news (67,586) (67,590) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter One possible scenario: there really is a break up, and maybe it's because James yelled at Liana (who is a member of Stella's family/friends). Now that James is out of the picture, Stella is going lunatic with the accusations saying he is mentally unstable and implying he is violent physically. Why is Stella doing this? Because Liana is very close with Stella and so if Liana was yelled at by Packer (Which honestly, what finally got him to yell? I'd have done it too since why one earth does an assistant and manager need to be on a personal vacation? It's not like Mariah is sick or can't walk), anyways if James yelled at Liana, Stella would get personal or suppose James yelled at Stella, that would grind her gears too, so she'd want to come for his reputation. What Stella doesn't get is Packer is quite powerful and can get her thrown out of Hollywood. So since Stella (like always) only thinks about the short run, she is really digging her own grave here. I really want to know how much of these new leaked stories have actually reached Mariah. It is clear that they hide a lot of stuff from her. This Stella brought more drama into Mariah's life in the past 2 years than what Mariah had in her entire life. (Hashtag) Fire Stella, (Hashtag) empower your contour. (Friday 28 October 2016; 11:31)

Re: E news (67,577) (67,586) (67,589) by Luke from United Kingdom Lets hope he stays with his homeboy because Mariah needs a new director for her future music videos lol. (Friday 28 October 2016; 11:13)

Re: Packer went beserk on dancer (67,582) (67,588) by May from Denmark But if it were true that Mariah was scared of Packer and he had drama with Tanaka, why would Mariah promote Tanaka to creative director and give him free will to do the choreographies? Why didn't Packer blow up then and instead decided to go with Mariah on holiday? Something is not adding up. (Friday 28 October 2016; 10:44)

Re: Packer went beserk on dancer (67,582) (67,587) by Licia from USA I also can believe this one more than any of the other stories. No man wants his future wife giving lap dances or being too flirty with other men no matter how innocent it may be. (Friday 28 October 2016; 10:41)

Re: E news (67,577) (67,586) by Licia from USA I really want to believe that this is a stunt, but why would this man allow Stella or whomever to put out stuff that could really damage his reputation for publicity or a distraction. He's crazy if he's allowing it and Mariah is even crazier for going along with it. If this is real though how awkward will this be for Brett Ratner? Who's side does he take? His home boy and business partner or his sister from another mister? Lol. (Friday 28 October 2016; 10:33)

Re: E news (67,577) (67,585) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly if this is in any shape proven to be a publicity stunt, as in suppose this whole relationship is fake or this break up story is fake or the break up happened but these different versions have no truth to it, no matter what but if this drama is in the least bit staged (which it is looking like it will be) then I will lose a lot of respect for Mariah as a person. I'll still be a fan of her craft and artistry but as a person, I'll really lose respect for her because this isn't the woman I admired since I was a kid. I used to love how classy Mariah was, how poised and drama free and all in all a good role model. Her personal life was her personal life and she'd keep it private (hello she got married to Nick without anyone knowing) but now we have people "finding out" that she got engaged and be outside right then and there to click pictures of her ring the very same night? I used to love that she had this aura of mystery around her, but nowadays she is so overexposed. Her personal life is being used for commercial purpose, she is engaging in publicity stunts left and right. She is teaming up with TMZ and tabloids to "leak" stories and personal pictures. I can blame Stella all I want, but Mariah is a 46 year old woman who has been in the business for so long, she should have known better. All that these recent drama will do is cheapen her image further. No one needs to know why you broke up with Packer, like no one needs to know why you broke up with Nick. All these story leaks will eventually lead to a nasty fight. (Friday 28 October 2016; 10:20)

Re: Packer went beserk on dancer (67,582) (67,584) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes plus no one would be fine seeing their fiance give this same dancer a lap dance for no good reason. It's not like it was part of her routine. Why do it? I always felt like maybe it was a publicity move they were filming for the show. Then let's not forget those Snap-chat videos of all the private party grindings and this moment along with many other moments being leaked which had me, Licia and Marissa shook. Haha we were posting about how this doesn't affect James. What I don't get is why this is becoming an issue now. These happened months back. After that Mariah and James were seen together, she talked about him in interviews, she said how she's very happy. Then how did this burst all of a sudden. The timing is so weird. (Friday 28 October 2016; 10:11)

More and more suspicious (67,583) by Marissa from USA So "Mariah's rep" has come out making statements that have me very suspicious of the authenticity of this "breakup". First of all, as private as Mariah has been about the reasons why (besides Tommy) all of her relationships have ended, why would she allow a rep to come out and say explicitly that a fight is at the root of their split? Why not go the "things just didn't work out" route like she always has done? If they are still trying to work things out, why even make a public statement instead of just waiting until everyone knows for sure what the outcome is going to be? People make announcements when they have official break-ups, not "breaks". We all know how many months of speculation we endured before it was ever confirmed that Nick and Mariah were getting divorced. Why would she suddenly feel so shook now to run out and address the media so quickly? The bottom line is as seen in the divorce scenario and Allison and Morgan betrayals, Mariah has never been the type of person who feels obligated to sprint to the media to clear her name whenever something comes out about her in the news. I'm starting to agree that this was a diversion tactic to distract from the SA tour cancellation as well as a foot in the door for more publicity so they can keep dragging this out until Mariah's World. Something ain't right and I want all of the tea, chai preferably, not earl grey. (Friday 28 October 2016; 9:01)

Packer went beserk on dancer (67,582) by 123 from USA No one would be ok with a back up dancer being around his fiance all the time. I kind of believe some of this, it makes the most sense. (Friday 28 October 2016; 7:50)

Mental state (67,581) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Boy oh boy, Stella better stop. All these "insider" talk about how James is mentally unstable, Stella dear you are going to ruin Mariah. If James really gets pissed, he'll go all out and make sure they shoot down every claim and maybe turn it on Mariah. So far the Packer team has kept it calm and just denied allegations. The moment they start firing back, jeez. Stella stop your immature self before you ruin Mariah. (Friday 28 October 2016; 6:23)

It's getting crazier (67,580) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So now TMZ is reporting openly about Bryan Tanaka. They are talking about how James was very suspicious about Mariah's relationship with Tanaka and even used his casino ties to get him banned from Caesar's. I'm sorry but this seems to be purely Stella's pathetic attempt at spinning the story but she is just playing with fire because James obviously will hit back with his professional PR team. All these should never have been public if Mariah really "feared" James. Plus why is this becoming an issue months after all those moments when we were having meltdowns here on MCA about Mariah being weird with Bryan. Also what I've feared is out, the lap dance video has resurfaced and it's only a matter of time before that gets blown up to. Has Mariah gotten completely nuts? Is she really going to allow Stella to get down and dirty about her personal life like this? When Nick and Mariah divorced, Mariah was very quiet about it. Until date she never said anything bad. When Tommy and Mariah divorced, she didn't start bashing him after years later. That too was done in a classy manner. This is getting so nasty, it will eventually explode on Mariah. (Friday 28 October 2016; 6:02)

Breakup (67,579) by THE TRUTH from USA Like that wedding was ever gonna happen. Cancellation of tour dates doesn't bode well either. Nice devil costume though. (Friday 28 October 2016; 4:07)

Working overtime (67,578) by Licia from USA They are really trying hard to cover up this tour mess. Now JP is unstable? Any who, the general public may forget after awhile, but the disappointed fans won't. I don't condone or agree with the things the fans are spewing at her, but they do have a right to be upset. By her and her team not acknowledging or ignoring this thinking refunds will be enough, the bashing will only get worse. (Friday 28 October 2016; 2:42)

E news (67,577) by RibbonB from USA Lol E news is spreading both the Bran Flake story and now the James is mentally unstable story. Supposedly James hasn't been mentally well for a while and has not been present for Mariah, so she had to let him go. So all in one day, James dumped her for over spending, and for rendezvousing with the help, or Mariah dumped him for doing something bad to her assistant, or for being mentally unstable and not present. Wow. What a sloppy mess this story has become. TMZ also has five or six versions of this "breakup". I won't be surprised if James and Mariah pose for Halloween and act like nothing has happened. Still a month to Mariah's World, if it does't get stalled. Yikes. (Friday 28 October 2016; 2:35)

Re: This is KickAss? (67,573) (67,576) by May from Denmark Being from South America I can tell you we are very much used to being stood up by mega stars. Mariah isn't the only one and she isn't the first one giving promoters drama as an excuse, it happens all too often, yes, promoters there suck and the major one that deals all is the same one in most countries down there, it's like a monopoly, it's also very unorganized, an usual complaint when big names come. Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Adele, Christina, Selena Gomez, a bunch of artists had cancelled South American tours, generally the excuses are the same "I hurt my knee", "my voice is wee", "the promoters scammed me". I just don't know if others fans are as aggressive as the lambs. The insults in Mariah's FB are outrageous. (Friday 28 October 2016; 1:52)
