Mariah Carey just isn’t allowing recent allegations regarding her estranged brother’s ongoing lawsuit against her to go unanswered.
The superstar recently fired back at claims that she is deliberately dodging a deposition within the case, citing recent court documents, because the bitter legal battle between the siblings continues.
In keeping with court documents obtained by TMZ, Mariah Carey’s legal team has denied her brother Morgan Carey’s allegations that his sister deliberately missed multiple discovery deadlines for her to be deposed and for turning over requested documents.
Per the documents, Mariah calls her brother’s latest motion a “misguided try to gain perceived tactical leverage on this motion by threatening” her with deposition.
She also called out his “repeated filing of meritless motions” as one reason the case has endured for thus long. Mariah’s attorney responded to the claims, writing, “Ms. Carey has never refused to seem for a deposition, nor has the court ever specifically ordered her to seem.”
That is the newest development within the case that dates back years. In 2021, Morgan Carey filed a $10 million lawsuit against his sister following the discharge of her memoir “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.”
He alleges that she portrayed him as abusive and a drug dealer, and consequently, she damaged his fame and work opportunities.
Mariah has maintained that the small print she included in her memoir were true.
Morgan Carey Introduced Recent Evidence Against Mariah In March 2025
As previously reported by The Blast, Morgan Carey moved to amend his lawsuit to incorporate additional claims of “defamatory” statements in his case against his sister.
On the time, Morgan claimed he uncovered “false, disparaging, and defamatory” remarks she made about him, a few of which he found on YouTube.
He also argued that neither Mariah nor her team ever contacted him for a response before publishing the memoir.
Morgan said that he was never given a likelihood to dispute the allegations before they were made public within the book.
Along with the allegations of his violent past and drug use, Morgan also denies a bit of the book where Mariah alleges that in 1980, Morgan accepted money from a lady to kill her husband but backed out.
The lady later committed the murder herself, and Morgan testified at her trial, per In Touch.

She further accused Mariah of using her celebrity platform to attack her and paint a harmful picture of her past simply to generate publicity and boost book sales.
Alison said that the allegations left her deeply devastated, arguing that Mariah’s portrayal only added to the struggles she had already endured.
