According to reports by People, Mariah revealed having a complicated relationship with both of her siblings in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Born in 1969, she was youngest of the three siblings.
In the 2020 memoir, Mariah Carey referred to Morgan as her "ex-brother."
Morgan Carey had previously sued his reportedly estranged sister Mariah Carey in 2021
In the latest lawsuit, Morgan Carey has sought $40 million in damages along with profits from her 2020 memoir.
This is, however, not the first time that Morgan Carey has filed a lawsuit against his estranged younger sister. Back in 2021, Morgan filed a suit against the singer and claimed that she had made untrue and defamatory statements in her memoir, published in October 2020.
The information about Morgan, provided by Mariah in her memoir included claims of allegedly abusive towards their mother when their dad left home. She further accused him of conspiring with their mum Patricia to get the singer institutionalized to loot her money.
In the original suit, about 14 out of 16 claims were dismissed and the court denied the appeal back in 2023.
Alison Carey, Mariah's older sister filed a suit against the singer as well. Mariah statements about Alison in the singer's 2020 memoir prompted the latter to take a legal route. Alison filed a suit against Mariah Carey in February 2021 seeking $1.25 million in the New York County Supreme Court.
Alison claimed that she felt humiliated and distressed by the claims made by Mariah in her memoir. The suit was not dismissed in August 2024 even after Alison's demise. However, it did not move any forward after the initial filing.
