Whose side is Mariah Carey on?
Mariah Carey has come to the defense of her ex-hubby, says a source. The singer has been uncharacteristically quiet during the nasty and sometimes bizarre feud between Michael Jackson and Tommy Mottola, head of Sony Music - in which the self-appointed King of Pop has called Mottola a racist and has depicted him as a devil for under-promoting his latest album. Jackson has been saying that Mariah "cried in my arms" over Mottola's treatment of her. He was referring, apparently, to the widely reported rift between Carey and her ex-hubby Mottola - who she accused of trying to sabotage her career.
But Thalia, Mottola's current wife, has been telling people that Carey phoned Mottola to offer her support in his dispute with Jackson. "Thalia said that Mariah called Tommy and said that she's on his side, not on Michael's," says a source. "She said Mariah said Michael's wrong in this whole thing, that Tommy's anything but a racist. She wants to leave her dispute with Tommy in the past and she's rather appalled that Michael has dragged her into this thing."
Carey was in Capri, recording an album, but her spokeswoman says, "To the best of my knowledge, Mariah has not spoken to Mr. Mottola in several months." Mottola's office had no comment. (MSNBC) Many thanks to Mariah Mania.
