Why Is Mariah So Demonized By The Media
Why does the media hate Mariah Carey? Is it because she is a self made woman of color who came from nothing and once on top, toppled the patriarchal standing of the music industry in the 90s and went on to create her own record label (which flopped, but the effort is still a great feat), and be in control of her own career? While she was being extremely successful and just living her life, the media is constantly trying to bring her down when she's really done nothing wrong. Here are some examples:
JLO- Mariah and JLo both know what JLo did to her, however rather than drag her name through the mud, Mariah simply said "I don't know her", meaning that she does not know her personally and will not comment on her. Later in subsequent interviews, whenever she was brought up, Mariah tried hard to deflect the question in order to not start drama, however, the media took that and started it on their own. Then 15 years later, JLo comes out and Wendy Williams brings the whole thing back up, JLo lies about them meeting (in one interview she says "we never met so I understand", then in the next interview a couple weeks later says "we have met a few times, Mariah is just really forgetful"). Again when asked her opinion on it, all Mariah says is "I still don't know her". Simply denying to comment on her again, but according to the media and Demi, Mariah is treating JLo "horribly", when in reality Mariah is being nice because she could be dragging her through the mud for stealing her songs.
Demi- Demi and basically everyone has no idea of the original story and actually how nice Mariah was being by just saying i don't know her. Demi needed to mind her business. Even still, what Mariah said about Demi wasn't bad at all. "I don't know her either so I wouldn't say anything to her", she's literally going out her way to not share her opinions because she doesn't know the person personally, something Demi should've done too. She doesn't even know the story but she's acting like Mariah is some demon attacking everyone
Ariana- I highly doubt Mariah hates Ariana, just the concept of her and that shes "replacing her". Mariah doesn't even get half the respect she deserves in the industry and from the public, literally Taylor Swift gets more respect, then they tell her "here's the new you, you're over, Ariana is the NEW you". Why would she respond positively to that? We all know that Nick showed Mariah the Emotions cover and she gave Ariana her props, so why is it a problem that she doesn't sing Ariana's praises when Ariana has done nothing to deserve it? Also she's never said anything bad about Ariana either, just that she doesn't listen to pop music so shes not familiar with her stuff. Also "I wish her longevity", PLEASE TELL ME WHERE'S THE RUDENESS AT?
Nicki- Nicki basically said she wanted a gun to shoot Mariah and got away with it but Mariah is the bad person here... ok
Diva Stuff- If you're watching Mariah's World, you can tell that Mariah's literally the lowest maintenance person on her team, however she's constantly painted as some "rude stuck up" person for no reason. Ooo she wants to wear heels everywhere, Ooo she wants to get rolled around, Ooo she stays on private yachts year round. So what? It's her money and shes doing what she wants with it because she earned it. Why is the media so against women living in their success but are okay with the men parading around in $500,000 chains and jewelery and showing off their $1Million cars? You never even see Mariah brag, she's always like "this is what I got, its cute, ok thanks, bye". Also the way the Gp and media always drag her for her clothing and showing cleavage is completely sexist
Basically the media and the GP feed off the negative with Mariah, when she says "Oh I love Adele, or Beyonce, or Rihanna, or Britney Spears or Patti Labelle or that she's a huge fan of Aretha or that Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are all very sweet and she's met them and likes them", no one cares, but when she doesn't talk nicely about someone she obviously has a bad history with, she's the evil witch.
Eminem - This whole situation is sexist af, demonization Mariah for not wanting to be with this man, and denying that they were together? Who the *** does he think he is? Then Mariah is terrible when she shades him even though m&m called her a "sl** bi*** c***" and called her husband a "fa****". Why do people expect her to just sit back and be happy through all of this, why is she the demon and he's the saint?
So why? Why is Mariah the prime suspect for negative media attention? I feel like they got successful with it the first couple times and she didn't sue anyone and it got a lot of clicks/reads, so now they take whatever they can get and use it against her because they know people will read to hear about how much more of a "b******" she is. It's sad thought because she's really so sweet and talented she doesn't deserve that.

Why are you so bothered tho? Every single popstar is in her shoes, she's no exception.

Media is stupid, I'm so over them, they should actually beg to talk for Mariah. The world spins around Mariah, she's one of the most important human beings (actually she's a gift) and everyone should appreciate that she's alive. Media is trash.

I guess because of the way Mariah is, sadly we're living in times where self expression for women isn't allowed at all unless it fits the criteria of the pseudo feminism the media is promoting . I mean from the ones listed above I'm pretty sure the only existing feuds were with JLo and eminem.

Because a woman can't be strong without being seen as a ***** in this sexist society. People will always make her out be a nasty woman when she's a nice person.
Also because they're jealous of her success and talent

Lol because she comes off pretty rude? Whether she's actually that rude or not, I don't know. (it's how she comes off) That and it's the media, if you don't act like Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift, you'll be painted as something you're not.

Because she's a diva, she's overweight, she's older and she's had a few bad live performances. That's literally the combination that the media uses to fuel hatred for her.
And I'm saying this as a Mariah stan.

How did Jennifer "steal" Mariah's songs? Tommy Mottola cleared the use of a sample that went to Jennifer instead of Mariah because she was much more bankable star. "I'm Real" flopped anyway so Mariah is mad about that? Or is the Murder remix of "I'm Real" with Ja Rule? Making songs with similar styles (they're not even that similar) is normal.

Just like Beyonce went to Ryan Tedder to make her song similar to Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone." It's normal to approach producers to produce songs. More importantly, it wasn't Jennifer who did that. She was a huge brand/pop star, not an artist.
By the way, it was Irv Gotti (the producer) who confirmed that, not Ja Rule.

Because her behavior over the last 20 years has been very catty and diva-ish. She likes to shade people rather than act like an adult and be polite. If she were nicer to people, the media wouldn't "demonize" her.

Did you read the OP? Why should she be nice to someone who said they'd kill her or that stole her songs? Shes nice to so many celebs but no one cares about that
