Secrets of why Mariah Carey never saw dying Sister Alison revealed

Baker added: “Alison was unhappy that her ‘little sister’ had cut off contact with her.

‘She talked about it often. She wondered if Mariah or any of her relatives would come to her funeral.

“I was told there is a memorial service planned for a future date, but nothing now… Mariah never tried to contact Alison, even after she was told a month ago that Alison was dying.

‘A phone call or, better yet, a video call would have meant so much to Alison. But that never came.

“And now Mariah is ‘heartbroken’ over the loss of her mother and her ‘ex’ sister?

“That callous rejection only added to Alison’s pain.”

Carey also used her autobiography to reveal the “trauma” and “deep sadness” she experienced growing up at the hands of her parents.

By the time she was three, her father and mother – who had a physical argument – ​​had separated, with Carey saying in her book: “It was not unusual for holes to be punched in walls or other objects to be found lying around.”

The singer grew up in New York after her white mother was rejected by her family because she married black aeronautical engineer Alfred Roy Carey.

After her parents’ divorce, she and her older brother Morgan, 64, stayed with their mother, while Alison moved in with their father.
