Mariah, in my opinion, knows how to handle the bottom-feeding media well. She was able to make a mega successful comeback after Glitter and her reticence about her current issues with Nick prevented the media from having a field day over the news. She never let the media tear her down and she can handle her personal life pretty well despite many issues.

sometimes yes, sometimes no

when she was dragged for her performance in TSOM live, she told the critics they need jesus

My fave causes them and then flawlessly walks away.

Yes
