Her mom.and sister both passed away on the same day last month.


My sympathies to the singer.

reply

Wow. Sympathies indeed.

reply

I read she made peace with her mom, I am not sure about her sister. Her mom was a vocal coach and opera singer. I never knew that.

reply

Sadly she and her sister never reconciled.

reply

I recall reading about her sister's issues with substance abuse. I think she also engaged in prostitution too sadly. I recall her sister speaking on either Inside Edition or Hard Copy decades ago, and detailing the hardships she faced growing up.

I think for awhile Mariah was helping her, but something went downhill with them years ago.

reply

Yes, her sister struggled with a drug addiction and contracted HIV from prostitution. Mariah and their mom tried helping her, but Mariah cut ties with her after she kept selling her out to the press.
