Carey’s 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” delved into the complexities of her relationship with her mother. In her book, Carey described her bond with Patricia as tangled with emotions—ranging from pride and admiration to pain and jealousy.

“Our relationship is a prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration, and disappointment. A complicated love tethers my heart to my mother’s,” she wrote in the memoir. Despite the conflicts, Carey maintained a sense of love and dedicated part of her book to Patricia, acknowledging that her mother did the best she could.

This tragic news has brought to light the personal struggles that even the most famous individuals endure. Let’s hope that Mariah Carey finds the strength and support she needs during this incredibly difficult time.
