Mariah Carey recently spilled all in an intimate profile with Harper’s Bazaar UK, that she was still angry with an ex. While Carey touched upon the ups and downs of her life, she revealed that her first marriage to Tommy Mottola in 1993 resulted in what she previously called “a private hell.” “Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I’ve made peace with it—in any case, I vowed I’d stop talking about it,” Carey said. Sony Music CEO Mottola helped launch Carey’s successful singing career, but Carey recalls Mottola attempting to limit her into being a mainstream pop artist. Carey described the relationship as controlling, which Mottola denies. Carey and Mottola met in the 1980s when he took Carey’s demo tape at a party. After signing Carey onto the music label, the two got married in 1993, with their marriage lasting five years. Carey shared that humor was her coping mechanism. “I’ll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story,” said the singer. Carey’s second marriage with Nick Cannon in 2008 ended in 2016, but the two had twins together, which Carey calls “the major loves of her life.”
