Wednesday, October 21, 2026 -Mariah Carey has emerged victorious in a defamation lawsuit
brought against her by her brother, Morgan Carey, over allegations contained in
her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
Morgan filed the lawsuit after claiming that sections of the
book falsely portrayed him as violent during their childhood and suggested he
had been involved in selling cocaine.
However, a judge dismissed the case after determining that
Morgan had failed to establish actual malice, a key legal requirement for his
defamation claim. The court also found that he had not provided sufficient
evidence to show that Mariah knowingly published false statements about him.
Mariah's attorney, John Rosenberg, welcomed the ruling,
saying the singer was pleased that the court recognised the public interest in
the matters discussed in her memoir and dismissed the claims in their entirety.
Despite the setback, Morgan's legal representative has indicated plans to
appeal the decision.
