Morgan Carey Accuses Mariah Carey of Defamation, Seeks $40M in Lawsuit

Morgan Carey, Mariah Carey's brother, is escalating his legal battle against her by filing an amended lawsuit that includes new allegations of defamation and emotional distress due to her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. He claims that he has discovered additional false and disparaging statements made by Mariah, including accusations of violence and drug dealing, which he vehemently denies. Morgan is also targeting a YouTube video created by one of Mariah's fans, alleging it was part of a conspiracy to damage his reputation, and he is seeking $40 million in damages. His original lawsuit from 2021 faced setbacks, with 14 out of 16 claims being dismissed. In his latest filing, he argues that Mariah's statements have significantly tarnished his reputation and were made without giving him a chance to respond. The legal dispute continues to draw public attention, particularly regarding the complex family dynamics and the serious allegations involved.
