Alison Carey, the superstar's older sister, tries to bounce back from a life marred by heroin addiction and a recent prostitution charge in Saugerties.
Mariah did a lot for her sister. She took care of her children by putting a roof over their heads, feed and clothed them. Gave them the best education. She sent her sister to a very good and expensive treatment facilities only to have Allison leave them. There's a point when you have to cut the strings.
Hali D exactly! I'm so over seeing all the comments about how Mariah "hasn't done shit for her sister", yet look at everything Mariah has done for Alison. there comes a point where you can't help someone if they're not making any positive changes in their life
@@joelparkinson3562 I didn't blame Mariah but i think her mother is at fault. She's unfair, treat Alison and Mariah differently. Maybe bcuz Alison resembles her dad, so she kind of hate her?
@@accountuser4525 Nah, Alison grew up with her father while Mariah grew up with her mother. Remember when Alison planned to write an exposé about her sister? Their mother Pat shut down her plans when she revealed Alison doesn't know much about Mariah because they grew up with different parents. Having said that, Mariah did support Alison's children. One of them is now a lawyer, and has gone on record to say without his aunt's help he would be nothing today.
@@itsjemmabond I know about lawyer etc, Mariah is kind darling. I'm talking about her mom. I mean Mariah grew up with her protective mom and bro but Alison grew up with drug addict who is her dad, so what do you expect? Eventhough Alison live with dad but her mom should pay attention and more care to Alison because she lives in "dangerous surrounding." But her mom DIDN'T. That's sad.
And for everyone saying Mariah should give her at least something, let me tell you something, her sister isnt looking at all that money and thinking "help to rebuild her life" she is looking at it and thinking "endless supply to shoot herself up into oblivion!" She is still an addict and if you truly love someone, the worst thing you could do is to in any way shape or form continue to enable them to further self destruct. Nope, she made the right decision. Tough love.
What happened to that $1.6 mil she got in 2002? That's $100k a year to live on for the last 15 years. Tons of people don't get paid that much, and they actually work.
It’s terrifying to think that this could’ve been Mariah’s life if she took the wrong turns that Allison did. Fortunately Mariah had the headspace to better her life x
Yvy Ma'reena Exactly, and after knowing the kinds of stuff Allison got up to I think even back then Mariah knew that that was a horrible way to “live”.
Yep. Even as a small child she had a very intelligent awareness. People say she's a musical genius and she is but she's a genius in general in so many ways.
@J. C. Mariah still has had very rough experiences (some of which were literally caused my Alison) that could have easily let her go down the wrong path
Big B I know, it’s appalling. The crayon thing broke my heart. Although I grew up in a very white area of the uk, I had black and mixed race friends. I didn’t see them as a colour they were just my mates! My parents weren’t at all racist. When my sister had a black boyfriend my parents never cared. Why would they? It’s just melanin
FIRST OF ALL, this lady and Mariah received at least a million dollar inheritance after the death of their father. Alison blew her inheritance. On top of that, Mariah has taken care of her big sister for years! She's paid for her to get treatment at various rehab facilities, she's paid for Alison's children to go to great private schools, & so much more! There comes a point in life where you have to stop enabling people like this so that they are forced to get themselves together. Mariah has reached her limits of helping her sister!
Reso Priazk She can't keep bleeding Mariah out of money. So she gets on social media for attention. She should stop. Even her brother bad mouths Mariah to the media.
@A Addis But who took care of all Alison's children was Mariah and her mother. The youngest daughter graduated from college in 2018, if I'm not mistaken and everyone seems to have a good relationship with Mariah (the oldest is one of her best friends).
@@RayzaEvaristo I didn't blame Mariah but i think her mother is at fault. She's unfair, treat Alison and Mariah differently. Maybe bcuz Alison resembles her dad, so she kind of hate her?
I feel sad for her. She was a victim of bad parenting. She had a hard life, and her bitterness toward her sister comes from jealousy. Mariah has helped her, and Allison doesn’t know how to give her credit due to jealousy, and a failure of the parents to shut this stuff down from childhood.
Exactly. Siblings from abusive/neglectful homes can't always help each others. The trauma takes all the space. Mariah has been struggling with mental health all her life, it shows on the pictures.
@@nickgreatpwrful5754 they’re her older siblings so that’s wrong. I think I read somewhere that that part was about Tommy’s kids, who she saw more as siblings than as her being a parent to them.
Anyone who believes this woman is crazy. mariah has paid for multiple rehabs. but she did nothing about it. she left the rehabs and didn’t care about help.
She is an awful sister The way she treated mariah omg cant believed this lady. Mariah is generous enough to help her despite the abuse she received on this lady
@@mellimel1174 Little sis never felt worthy of existing, having your older sister set you up with her very old boyfriend doesn't help much with that problem.
@@musicworldnow365 I don’t thin either of them felt worthy. Parents should have made sure of that . Troubled kids usually come from bad parenting. They came from the same parents. Not saying A wasn’t wrong. But I’m not sure her mother loved her like the others.
Why do ya'll think Alison had to be the blame? Mariah stood there running with her glamorous life and did nothing by getting to know more about her sister's health. And leaving Alison just to suffer.
addict siblings always play the victim, i moved away and married well and my brother who was in prison and drug addicted, no matter how much we helped nothing worked, after a decade of being hit, stolen from, attacked we had to give up, i can't trust her
that is very true, however she WAS abused heavily and abuse survivors should never be silenced, and at a very very steep price, allison has been. she WAS sexually sold by her mother, so she deserves her voice heard. every human does.
The best way to help an addict is to cut them off and stop enabling them. They'll hit rock bottom faster and be more likely to develop the drive to get sober.
@@rebeccaspratling2865 yeah that's definitely not how to help an addict.. You shouldnt cut them off from being loved. Sometimes someone's love is all that is keeping them alive.
@@rebeccaspratling2865 so true, I myself was a heroin addict for near enough ten years. The best way to help an addict is to cut them off and eventually they will hit rock bottom, maybe go to jail. Once u hit rock bottom the only way is up. But u have to want to get better and help urself. U want to have right all the wrongs u have done and make up for all the hurt u have caused ur family, and trust me it will be an enormous amount. If I’m honest I don’t i I i can ever make up for the hurt I caused my mum, even though she has forgiven me I feel like I can never make it up to her. Addicts have to want to help themselves, otherwise there’s no point in helping them. It’s a hard and rough road but recovery is so worth it. God bless everyone who is active in addiction.
Read Mariah’s book it explains everything , if Mariah were to just help her by giving her money (she’s tried countless times Allison just abuses it and never changes) she would either be dead by now already from spending it all on drugs and who knows what else, or just be living off someone else’s hard earned fortune. Although I do feel sorry in a way for Allison’s trauma that doesn’t excuse the trauma she inflicted upon Mariah either. It’s not Mariah’s job to care for “family” who only seem to care for her when there’s something in it for them.
It’s really sad to see Mariah’s sister struggling, but Mariah really did help her. Alison just didn’t do her part in letting her younger sister help. Mariah literally took care of her nephew that is sweet. Yet Alison still doesn’t understand that she needs to help herself now.
I hate it when ppl like mariahs sister think there everyone else's responsibility........ mariahs helped her sister numerous of times , there's only so much someone can do for a person........especially a heroin addict........... you can bend over backwards for them but they'll always say u never helped them......... I have a sister exactly the same ............ Mariahs put her sister thru rehab plenty of times n helped her children too , im team Mariah 😌
I truly agree with you. I would do anything for my siblings as they would do the same for me. Time and time again Mariah has helped her so now its time for her to help her self. I want support a habit and I know deep down that Mariah is praying for her sister. That's the best she can do now.
You can't help an addict before they help themselves. This is a sad story, but it's not Mariah's fault. Mariah has done so much for her, but her poor soul returned to drugs each time. I hope she gets sober and better!
Its unfortunate to see such a beautiful woman in a defeated state like this. She needs to stop expecting help from Mariah, help herself and get a better support system. Mariah has her own problems and worked hard to get where she is.
sad but the truth is Mariah helped her for so long and Alison took advantage of the fact that Mariah would continue to bail her out. Unfortunately for Alison, she's done it to herself and needs to hold herself accountable.
Very unlikely. Allison has had many chances to get her life together including millions of pounds from Mariah. Allison constantly finds excuses for relapsing. For example, she says she has never prostituted herself but has been arrested multiple times for it, Mariah has stated it on albums, in her book etc, men have spoken out about using her 'services'. I feel that unfortunately Allison doesn't want to accept responsibility for issues she has and passes the buck.
your sister cant help you. even if she wasnt rich she couldn't help you. you need a higher source of power from the universe and some friends that have been through the same thing. who would you blame if mariah wasnt your sister? this is so sad. the blackmail / extortion is REAL in this family. not fair. people make their own choices. Do you know what i'd do if my sister gave me a couple mil over 20 yrs?? I'd take it and invest in MYSELF. i'd put my BRAND out there. in a good way. no pun intended. the way the siblings speak of mariah you would think she stuck a needle in her sisters arm n forced her. I would take care of my sisters medical needs always but nothing else. Where does one draw the line? hard to say.
I can imagine how hard Mariah tried to help her during decades, but here she is.. ungrateful. she also has a brother and a mother but ALL the blame for what she has done in her life is Mariah. it's all mariah's fault
She’s honestly just a victim of her own karma. Mariah tried to help her multiple times (even though she didn’t deserve any help from her) but this woman has evil in her bones. Just like her brother and mother. I’m glad Mariah’s free from these people.
It's sad that Alison is the older one Mariah should be the one looking up to her. Mariah is a role model for all these kids it seems like she didn't have anyone to look up to. It's so sad.
Wtf is wrong with these self-centred people. They are in that position because of themselves not their parents or their siblings. MC is in the position she is today not because it was given to her but because of hard work and dedication her sister should never ask help or expect help.
It's hard to help somebody who doesn't love himself. You can blame Mimi, but the people know how shitty is your life is even if she helped you a lot of times. Maybe you'll never ever change old lady. Good thing your children is with Mimi.
Mariah doesn’t have her kids currently. The older ones I know are adults. Sean has made a life for himself and still hangs with Mariah. Not sure about Michael, but he’s not a kid anymore for sure.
Mariah couldn't help her financially if the money was going towards a drug habit which is illegal. I believe she tried to help her in the past, but Allison misused her help. The fault lies with Allison's mother for putting her out on the street early on when she coukdn't handle her as a single parent. She shoukd have gotten her professional help or found other avenues for support for her.
It's so hard to leave those we love behind but our peace is worth more than a toxic relationship. Mariah needs to stay FAR away from her sis. "Loneliness should not make you reconnect w a toxic person. You wouldn't drink poison just because you're thirtsy."✌🏽
I pray God will guide Alison to a better way of life and heal her addiction to heroine. I pray God will help heal the pain caused between Alison & Mariah as well. Hopefully, God will help Mariah find a way to forgive Morgan for all the nasty things he's done to her, too.
Yeah I think they need healing and love. I am so sorry that happened to Allison. She is like a little lamb, you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her. I didn't know she had 4 kids. Healing up from a heroine addiction seems like it would take patience and little or no stressful situations.
All three Patricia and Alfred’s kids were traumatized. Mariah has got bipolar disorder, Alison became a drug addict and Morgan has got anger issues that turned him into a violent person. Some people really suck at parenting
I have a lot of family members that are addicted to in fact every last one of them, and my partner But I've had to distance myself, to protect myself, because all I've ever experienced in trying to help everyone is hurt, betrayal, to the point where I've lost my job, I even ended up homeless trying to help all of them And to me that's just stupid for me to do that, and now I'm building my life back And sometimes you have to understand the pain After you have been around it so long that it starts eating into your soul, it starts making you crazy, and you're not even doing what they're doing Sometimes it's hard for you to even look at them, after you've gone around them so many times and they've done the same thing to you over and over again It just hurts, and they teach in therapy that sometimes you just absolutely have to go no contact, and not let people take advantage of you anymore And sometimes it's just too painful to look at them, because they keep destroying themselves, and it's super depressing, it rips your heart out, makes it to where you can't work, you can't function sure go see them, do what you can, but if it keeps happening over and over again there has to be a cutoff point.
Mariah tried to help her countless times and she continues to help Alison’s children. I honestly feel for Alison but Mariah’s money couldn’t and didn’t help her and it only enabled her to do worse. Best wishes to Alison and her continued sobriety.
People say this woman was jealous of her sister but jealousy is only taught, and I'm pretty sure her mom/parents were showing more affection to Mariah as they grew up, and children need unconditional love and attention...not to be forgotten..which could be root of the problems Allison have faced.
didnt she have like 2M$ inheritance from his late father? with good handling of that fortune she can be on a nice apt. and how ironic that she wouldnt let a sister sleep on the street but did it to herself. well i may not know the whole story as to why but somehow i have a hint of feeling for alison why mariah seems to be ignoring her. meh
After what I read, all you can do is pray for Alison. She never talked about their life before Mariah, so INK (and always wondered) what happened to her to fuck her up enough that she would do drugs AND OFFER THEM TO HER BABY SISTER (who you were jealous of because she was headed for the clouds and you were headed for the street)😔😔
Naw. Fuck Alison. Addiction doesn't make you run to the media to trash your family for money, threaten to release a tell-all book because your lying, manipulative, jealous, ungrateful ass got cut off, or try to pimp out your then 11-year-old little sister and drug her with Valium and try to get her to do cocaine.
No matter what it's a sad situation all around. No judgement or blame because we truly don't know what happened to Allison growing up. It's sad for Mariah and her siblings. Sad for Pat Carey and Allison's children. Mariah doesn't have to be close to her sister, but I hope she can make peace with Allison before it's too late. Same goes for Shawn, Mikey and Allison's other two children.
Sorry, I can’t imagine being Mariah Carey and having my sister live like this! Even if I wanted to separate myself from her, I would see that she’s safe and taken care of.
I think we all here really want Mariah to think over Alison´s issues and help her, because in the end they´re still family and family should stick together for good and specially for bad times, thick and thin, man!!! OH GOSH!!! PLEASE MARIAH, HAVE A HEART FOR YOUR SISTER, AS A HUMAN BEING EVEN THOUGH FOR THE LAST TIME!!!
Mariah had helped out Allison many times, taken care of her children too and has spent lots of money on treatment but allison always goes back to doing drugs, it's sad. There's only so much one can do to help.
Yes lady it’s Mariah fault that her older sister is a hot mess! Really lady! Growth and help cones from identifying and addressing your own demons and and accountability! Why can’t you take care of you?
She had a pretty voice too. There could've been the carey sisters maybe even siblings if their brother could sing. If only she joined her, then they would be able to replace her addiction with everything else in the world.
Mariah put her sister kids through Harvard 🎓, if that aint care and love than love dont exists, what more do u want from her!! Not including all the other stuff she helped her with, at what point is a person allowed to have peace and no longer be responsible for a person?🤔🤦🏽😡, i dont blame mariah
People in these comment sections really think they know Alison and Mariah's situation it's laughable how they're gonna tell Alison she's not allowed to ask her own sister for help like any of you don't always ask relatives for help
I have always been on MARIAHs side and I still am. But I feel that Mariah Carey should just give just a teeny weeny beeny bit of money. I know she has helped her SO SO SO Much already. But even Mariah Carey's dogs receive more than Alison now. Just like give Alison a teeny weeny bit more and that's It so that Alison can no longer talk trash no more.
Karen smith she used Mariah when they was younger that's why Mariah dont wanna help her cause Alison took advantage of her when she was younger and i can see why Mariah is mad at her
It's not that Mariah is mad because of that, I think she's more hurt than she is mad because it's her own sister that stabbed her in the back and it was something that caused Mariah to cut off her ties with Alison. It's a sad sad story but Mariah explained much of it in her song "Petals"
Johre Worley I know, but since Mariah has the money she should publicly give a little more to Alison to you know make sure that Alison can NO longer say shit.
Karen smith mariah helped her sister enough already, she put her kids in schools and payed for it and she gave money to the sister but all alison does it go back to drugs. Mariah shouldve had gotten someone to help her instead of giving her the money straight cuz she has a drug problem.
Karen smith she has helped her in the past. you can RU-vid the interview Alison did she said mariah gave her money back in the day but u don't give a drug addict money. so she is basically saying she spent the money on drugs. i posted this in my own comment. I've always wondered where their mother is. did she side with Mariah & abandoned Alison too? not saying u know the answer. i just don't see a caring loving mom kicking her daughter to the curb. then again money changes pple so who knows. boy it could of been so different for Mariah. glad her voice got her out of that kind of lifestyle. any one know of it was the rainbow album mariah dedicated to her.? i know she dedicated one to her. i know petals is about her & i think that's on the rainbow album.
Mariah has helped her before. just like she said in an interview mariah gave her money & she said you don't give a drug addict money. so it was mariahs fault she spent the money on drugs? i think not. also i wonder where Pat (their mother is) did she abandoned her too?
I wish her the best but i don't see where Mariah owes her anything. I have also been reading Mariah memoir and there is a lot of negative history and vibes there. Sometimes you have to let people fall on their own face.. Of course Mariah has money but she doesn't have to give it to someone who doesn't want to be helped.
No, about the money because when you're involved with people who are highly addicted, and they have a toxic way of thinking, and they won't really commit to working on the wounds of their childhood All they do is take that money and buy drugs alcohol, and continue to live that destructive lifestyle I've been in these situations before, and it's literally like you're killing them, when you give them money It's best to never do that, you can pay for some meals, buy them some food, pay for rehab, and help out with things like that But even up to a point, even doing that much if they're just going to get right back out and basically spit in your face and go back and do the same thing again It's just like throwing money in the trash, and basically enabling them to know that you'll come to their rescue and feed them come put them back in rehab, they know they can go at least get high or drunk one more time go out and live self-destructively and at least somebody will feed me or if I get too bad off they'll put me up in rehab And they literally think that way I know the addictive mind, it's all in my family, and in my relationships in the past And it's just really sad. But yeah you're right about the money for sure.
Wow, never knew she had a sister. This is so wrong to go on tv REPEATEDLY trying to throw her sister under the bus. She was essentially trying to publicly shame her into supporting her. 😮😢
Te aseguro que MARIAH ayudo mucho tiempo a su hermana. Pero no hay dinero que alcance cuando eres un adicto.MARIAH no es responsable de la vida que escogió su hermana
Your sister is Maria Carey!!?? And she let you go through this? I really don't think Mariah is a diva. She is a cold blooded person that will take all of the stupid money and fame to her grave.
Get informed than being opinionated. Mariah is very close to Alison's son and helped him throughout until this time. Who would you think help a person who in the first place didn't want to help herself. Think again!
Mariah doesn’t talk to her or her brother she refers to them as her ex sister & ex brother & I wouldn’t either if I was giving a pinkie off cocaine & almost sold to a pimp
They never admit their crimes rather they twist the story. When her brother and sister experienced fall, Mariah was there funding them. When Mariah experienced fall in her career, the stress, extreme emotions, suffered from emotional breakdown and miscarriage, even the shadow of these two were not present.
@@qwerty13_incognito yeah when Mariah had her breakdown or what she likes to call it a diva fit her mom & brother called the police on her they were trying to what is happening to Britney Spears right now
@@tykelwilliams6053 Her mom was the one who called 911 asking for help because of Mariah's emotional breakdown leading her to break some dishes due to exhaustion. But she is strong actually she was able to perform Hero for 9/11 even though her doctors disagree with her decision and went back straight after the performance. I doubt that Britney can surpass this huge milestone due to her father, the press much everyone around her. Wishing all the best for these two brave and talented ladies.
I noticed back in August, 2020 she's in serious need of dental implants of now all of her teeth are missing and she needs food. I don't know if she's still living at this place so she would need to living in a proper and decent apartment, new clothes, and a case worker. I don't mean this as a harsh criticism or to attack her, I say all of this because feel it could help her and she really needs it.
Can't imagine not helping someone you love says the woman who put drugs before her own children. Your life may be sad but thats not Mariah's fault. Sort yourself out lady and stop tarnishing YOUR YOUNGER sister for not working her ass off so you could free load. You probably would have gotten it too had you cared more for your kids, your family and yourself.
Poor lady when she was young she was just as beautiful as her sister but took wrong route made bad choices in life got into Prostitution got infected with hiv addicted to drugs took a toll on her
