Carey said she’d dine with dead stars: report
In opening up last week to a national magazine about how she has bipolar disorder, Mariah Carey, above, seemed to downplay the extent to which this mental illness, perhaps coupled with alleged substance abuse issues, has spun her life out of control.
The Blast is reporting one incident in particular: A night in 2016 when the 48-year-old singer apparently had a psychotic break and believed that Prince, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston were coming to her home for a dinner party.
That night, Carey’s estranged husband Nick Cannon called the singer’s former manager Stella Bulochnikov in a panic, The Blast said, citing sources close to the situation.
Cannon in turn had received a call from the star’s nanny, saying she found Carey “wearing a ball gown and a tiara” and sporting a Ring Pop she claimed was given to her “from the royal family.”
Carey asked the nanny to prepare her two young children for dinner with Prince, Jackson and Houston — who were all dead at the time, The Blast said.
Even on the way to the hospital, Carey reportedly was out of control and tried to jump out of a moving vehicle, sources told The Blast.
Doctors at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center suggested to Carey’s team that she be placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold, but The Blast reported that her high-powered friends wanted to keep her breakdown as private as possible.
