Oprah Winfrey Dragged Into Mariah Carey Defamation Lawsuit


Three years ago Mariah Carey's brother, Morgan Carey, filed a defamation of character lawsuit against her claiming she lied about him in her memoir [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Morgan wants to subpoena Oprah Winfrey in an effort to prove his claims... 

From The Sun
The U.S. Sun obtained court papers, filed in Los Angeles on December 13, which demand that the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) hand over all communications, emails, unedited videos, and documents relating to Mariah, any interviews she has given, and the book.
It states: "Plaintiff Morgan Carey in his lawsuit against Mariah Carey requests that the non-party OWN; The Oprah Winfrey Network LLC produce all documents responsive to these requests... no later than January 16, 2025."
Mariah has given several TV interviews to Oprah over the years, including to promote The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
In September 2020, Oprah wrote on X, then known as Twitter, "I may not have known the words back then but after 10 interviews together, I now know the FULL meaning of@MariahCarey.
"On this episode of #TheOprahConversation, the world’s most fascinating star speaks her truth for the first time in her memoir #TheMeaningOfMariahCarey.
"We talk about the real meanings behind her songs, her famous marriages, and the lasting imprint her traumatic childhood has on her own life."
She also appeared on Oprah's show in 1999 with her mother, Patricia, where she spoke about her childhood and her relationship with Morgan and Alison.
The latest court paper requests "documents and communications that refer or relate to agreements by, among, or between any of the following: You [OWN], defendant [Mariah Carey], or Micaela Angela Davis, Andrew Cohen, or Tyler Perry."
It also requests: "Documents and communications that identify services performed by OWN for defendant [Mariah Carey]."
It says the deposition topics will include "the authenticity and source of all documents" and "OWN's promotion of the book."
Morgan filed a suit in 2021 alleging that claims Mariah had made in the autobiography were "false and defamatory" and had caused "damage to his reputation."

What did she say about him? I love MC but why can’t she just kick her brother a million or 2? He’s her last sibling left. Mom, dad, sister - all gone. She could do that and it won’t make a dent in her account.

Mimi, please pay off this fool. Spend a few coins and make him insignificant.

@5:36. She's stubborn and (on this) very small minded. People with her kind of money, who have had money for generations, control family members by paying them off. Mimi, Serena, Vanessa Bryant, etc are all "new money" and they're still learning how to control family members and people who hang on.

Companies that want to invest with people like Mimi, Serena and Vanessa do not want this kind of publicity. They''ll learn.

If you read Mariah's book, you would know why she wouldn't pay this leach off. Among other horrible things, he fed her to the Big Bad Wolf (Tommy Mottola) when she was at her lowest point for money. If I was Mariah, I would go broke before he saw a dime of my money.

^^^You're right and you didn't tell a lie. I thinnk Mattola makes Sean Combs look like a saint. Still, I would pay the brother off with an NDA and shut him down.

Brother does not get one dime. People do not get rewarded for evil chicanery.

I don't know why he is so pressed. Nobody knows him. He is looking to cash in.

Team Morgan!!! I love Mariah but right is right and wrong is wrong. She better hope Tommy's ex wife doesnt write a memoir.

Alicia isnt the only homewrecker in the music industry...
