Three years ago Mariah Carey's brother, Morgan Carey, filed a defamation of character lawsuit against her claiming she lied about him in her memoir [click here if you missed that].
Now Morgan wants to subpoena Oprah Winfrey in an effort to prove his claims...
From The Sun
The U.S. Sun obtained court papers, filed in Los Angeles on December 13, which demand that the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) hand over all communications, emails, unedited videos, and documents relating to Mariah, any interviews she has given, and the book.
It states: "Plaintiff Morgan Carey in his lawsuit against Mariah Carey requests that the non-party OWN; The Oprah Winfrey Network LLC produce all documents responsive to these requests... no later than January 16, 2025."
Mariah has given several TV interviews to Oprah over the years, including to promote The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
In September 2020, Oprah wrote on X, then known as Twitter, "I may not have known the words back then but after 10 interviews together, I now know the FULL meaning of@MariahCarey.
"On this episode of #TheOprahConversation, the world’s most fascinating star speaks her truth for the first time in her memoir #TheMeaningOfMariahCarey.
"We talk about the real meanings behind her songs, her famous marriages, and the lasting imprint her traumatic childhood has on her own life."
She also appeared on Oprah's show in 1999 with her mother, Patricia, where she spoke about her childhood and her relationship with Morgan and Alison.
The latest court paper requests "documents and communications that refer or relate to agreements by, among, or between any of the following: You [OWN], defendant [Mariah Carey], or Micaela Angela Davis, Andrew Cohen, or Tyler Perry."
It also requests: "Documents and communications that identify services performed by OWN for defendant [Mariah Carey]."
It says the deposition topics will include "the authenticity and source of all documents" and "OWN's promotion of the book."
Morgan filed a suit in 2021 alleging that claims Mariah had made in the autobiography were "false and defamatory" and had caused "damage to his reputation."
