Mariah Carey believes her New Year's Eve performance -- which turned out to be a trainwreck -- was sabotaged so TV execs could score bigger ratings than usual.

Sources connected with Mariah tell TMZ they repeatedly complained to execs at Dick Clark Productions that her "inner ears" -- aka earpieces -- were NOT working.

Mariah did an interview with Ryan Seacrest an hour before she took the stage in Times Square and she was having trouble. You can hear her say to Ryan, "It's hard for me to hear you."

I can understand not wanting so sing without knowing what you sound like with all the crowd noise but there was barely physical effort from the beginning

Ratings? It was five minutes on a live show that doesn't repeat EVER. A terrible excuse.

Dick Clark Productions late Sunday issued a lengthy statement challenging Carey’s claims.

“As the premier producer of live television events for nearly 50 years, we pride ourselves on our reputation and long-standing relationships with artists. To suggest that DCP, as producer of music shows including the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and Academy of Country Music Awards, would ever intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and frankly absurd,” the statement said.

Looks like Stella is getting sued.

Own it and move on. Sometimes, her team really makes it hard to control the damage done.

Oh God. Why are they trying this?

Mariah's team sucks if they thought this up or didn't advise Mariah against it if she suggested it.
