Mariah Carey did not talk to her sister, Alison, before she died. The reason? Alison’s struggle with drug addiction created a big distance between the two sisters.
Sources close to the family shared with TMZ that Mariah did not reach out to Alison in her final days. Instead, she spent the last week with their mother, Patricia, who was also very ill.
Mariah was not in contact with Alison, and sources say it’s because Alison struggled with addiction for many years. Mariah had tried to help her sister emotionally and financially, but it wasn’t enough to help Alison get clean.
Eventually, Mariah felt she had to show Alison tough love. She didn’t want to enable her sister’s behavior, so she decided to cut off contact and distance herself from Alison.
As we reported, Alison passed away over the weekend—the same day their mother died—without any contact from Mariah.
Mariah talked about her relationships with her mom and sister in her 2020 memoir, *The Meaning of Mariah Carey*. In the book, she claimed that Alison had once “drugged me with Valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, inflicted me with third-degree burns, and tried to sell me out to a pimp.”
Rachael Ray’s fans have noticed a big change in her appearance after some people started worrying about her health.
Former Food Network star Rachael Ray made a bit of a comeback by sharing behind-the-scenes clips from an upcoming episode of her show, Rachael Ray Meals in Minutes, on social media.
Rachael Ray seems to be back to normal
Rachael Ray has eased her fans’ worries with a recent video on social media, where she appeared just like they remembered her. The former Food Network star posted a clip on Instagram showing her acting like her usual self.
A few weeks ago, some fans got concerned after noticing her speech was a bit slurred in a video. But with this new behind-the-scenes footage from her show, Rachael Ray Meals in Minutes, she reassured them.
In the video, Rachael shared a few recipes that could be served for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Fans were happy to see that she seemed much better compared to how she was in the earlier clip.
One fan commented, “I don’t know what everyone was worried about; you look great, Rachael!” Another added, “She looks better now compared to her earlier videos, and her haircut looks good.” A third person said, “You’re looking much better here.”
While many people praised Rachael, a few were still unsure if she was fully back to normal. One asked, “When was this filmed? Something seems (or still is) wrong with her bloated face, slurred speech, and crooked mouth.”
The video that concerned fans was posted earlier this month when Rachael paid tribute to Tony Bennett on Instagram, honoring the anniversary of his death by cooking his favorite dish, ossobuco. Rachael humorously shared a story about how she “almost killed” Tony after accidentally pulling a chair out from under him, causing him to hit his head and fall to the floor. She added, “I thought I killed Tony Bennett, literally. But his wife, Susan, said, ‘He’s fine, he’ll pop back up.’ He made it through dinner. I miss my friend so much.”
During this tribute, fans noticed that Rachael’s usually fast-talking style was slower, and she slurred her words in parts of the video. Some viewers expressed concern, with one saying, “I love you, but are you okay? I’m seriously worried.” Another added, “She seems like she’s been drinking. I love Rachael, but it’s hard to watch her like this.” A third person commented, “It looks like a mini-stroke. Her mouth seems uneven. This makes me so sad.”
