Although she gave no indication of the reasons for the death of her family members, nor of the circumstances in which this double death occurred, she did, however, share her pain.

Stormy relationship

"I am heartbroken to have lost my mother last weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day.” "I appreciate everyone's love, support, and respect for my privacy during this impossible time,", she tells the American magazine.

Mariah Carey had already spoken, in her memoir, published in 2020, about her complicated relationship with her mother. "Our relationship is a thorny rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration, and disappointment," she writes.
