OMG!!!!!!!
Berger takes the stand – Mariah Carey´s Rep ends the Rumors! Article by: Jonathan M. Boyer Mariah Carey´s spokeswoman, Cindi Berger spoke with Music Insider and E-Music News regarding the different rumors that have been circulating about the singer. To set the record straight once and for all, Berger speaks out about the various reported media and press "gossip" about Carey. According to Berger, Carey has not dated anyone since her breakup with Latin heartthrob, Luis Miguel. Berger states, "Mariah is not dating anyone at this time. All she wants to do right now is focus on herself and her career. She has never dated rapper Eminem, P.Diddy, or Tyrese. Those rumors are completely false. She hasn´t been dating since her breakup with Luis Miguel", she tells Music Insider reporter Dennis O´Leary. Regarding Jackson´s attack on Carey´s ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, Carey is appalled by Jacko´s actions and didn´t want to be hauled in the battle between the King Of Pop and her former label. Her rep releases this statement on the singer´s behalf. "Mariah doesn´t really know how to react to Michael Jackson´s accusations. She was shocked of course as we all are. Throughout all the years she has known Tommy, she has never known him to be a racist. Mariah does not feel that he is such a person after all the support he had given her. Michael did not have Mariah´s permission or consent to use her in his battle with Sony and did not want any part of it. He dragged her in this mess on his own." Rumors are flying that the R&B Diva has sided with her ex during the dispute and believes there is no truth to Jackson´s accusations. "Mariah feels Michael is wrong and she is rather surprised that he has dragged her into this. She is very upset with him and is not behind him in this at all", says Berger. To set the record straight she continues, "To my knowledge, Mariah has not contacted Tommy personally. From what I´ve heard she has told friends of hers that she is indeed standing behind him and supports him fully." The CEO who was rumored to have tried sabotaging Carey´s career was found innocent after legal actions and private hearings took place to prove he did no such thing. With a superior position as president and CEO of any record company, a serious accusation of that sort must be proven for the sake and security of an artist(s) under that particular label. Such improper behavior is not tolerated in the business and if Mottola was indeed found guilty, proper actions would´ve taken place for his removal. "If Tommy Mottola had sabotaged Mariah Carey´s career, he would have been fired and not permitted to work in the industry", says Music Executive, Darryl Harvey. "He is not stupid enough to put his own career on the line by trying to ruin Mariah´s", he states. Carey´s spokesperson, Cindi Berger told E-Music, "Mariah has never directly accused Tommy of trying to ruin her career. Circumstances led her to believe that her former label may have been involved, alongside EMI with their lack of promotion and efforts led to the misfortunate failure of Glitter. Mariah has accepted the fact that it did not succeed as she hoped and has to move on. She does not hate Tommy. She hated the way he had treated her while she was signed with Sony. Mariah does not hold grudges and has decided to leave her dispute with Tommy in the past and move forward." On another note, Hip Hop princess Ashanti is rumored to be collaborating with Carey on her forth-coming album not yet titled. It has been reported that she is to be writing a song for the pop diva. "There´s a possibility they may work together from what I have heard, but nothing has been confirmed just yet", says Berger. "Mariah is very busy working on her album in Capri and may not need a use for Ashanti." Carey´s father, Alfred Roy Carey, 72, has recently lost his battle with cancer. He passed away on July 4th. Although she and her father had been estranged for quite awhile, her spokesperson states that they have grown close over the past few years and she has been by his side for the past few weeks. Carey has been spotted at several locations since her father´s passing, with reports claiming that his death has no impact on the singer from her facial expressions. But Berger tells E-News, "Mariah has been deeply affected by her father´s passing, but at the same time she has an album to finish up and other things to do. She got to spend a lot of time with him so it´s not difficult for her to let the pain go, or at least push it aside and focus on other things." Carey was last spotted out on a dinner break in Capri while working efficiently on her new album expected to be released this fall. Source – Inside The Music Business
