Not Exactly Heroic

[Blind Gossip] When a celebrity reveals something deeply personal out of the blue, the first question you should ask is, “Why?”

This famous singer claims that she decided to reveal a personal health issue before someone else could exploit her secret.

However, before you start patting her on the back for being such a hero, check this out:

She didn’t do it because she is brave. This is all part of her legal defense. She is going to claim that when those things happened she was “sick” and “off her meds” so she can’t be held criminally responsible for her behavior.

Well, that’s not exactly heroic!

  4. Mariah Carey, her bipolar diagnosis, and now someone coming out with sexual harassment claims.

    Yikes.

    Clues: her song “hero”

  6. Mariah carey announcing she is bipolar; her expublicist just filed a harrassment lawsuit saying she was naked and such.

  8. Mariah Carey

    Crafty plan, that’s for sure. It seemed a little weird when she announced it out of nowhere.

  13. Mariah Carey – bipolar disorder. Clue heroic – her song Hero. Optional – seems to work for every other celebrity, why not her?

  16. Mariah Carey and her random accouncement of being bi-polar.

    Hero – name of one of her songs

  18. Mariah Carey

    And considering her behavior in the past, it won’t take much to convince anyone.

  20. mariah
    i mean it has been done before but i am not gonna shame her for her mental illness

  24. I have no idea, but if deflecting blame is her favorite game it must be Demi Lovato.

  26. Singer is Mimi, with Bipolar disorder.
    She was pretty crazy for a while, no wonder why Nick left.

    Clue is her hit Hero in the 90s

  30. Mariah Carey. She’s going to claim she was off her meds when she walked around her former manager naked.

  31. Singer: Mariah Carey.
    She’s recently come forward, saying she is bipolar. This is going to be the excuse she uses for her disastrous New Year’s Eve performance and anything else she can pin on it.

  34. Mariah Carey for her claim of bi-polar.

    Never a good plan to blame it on meds or lack of. she is just crazy period.

  38. Mariah & bipolar disorder
    Legally, doesn’t negate her responsibility unless they argue she was mentally incompetent to make any sort of contractual agreements.

  45. Please not Conchita Wurst, winner of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. She just announced her HIV status yesterday.

    • This is probably it. The key words of this blind item are ‘before someone else could exploit her secret’, and Cochita is claiming she’s being threatened with blackmail.

  48. Mariah
    She said she has bipolar disorder
    She is being sued by her former manager or someone

    • I remember back in 200…2? I don’t know, years ago, she went crazy and skipped a load of commitments due to it and it was a headache for her record label (my dad’s friend worked for their legal dept). I don’t doubt she has mental health issues but I think her revealing it now is a tactical ploy.

  62. Not Mariah and her bi-polar claim?!??! No!!!! I’m 100% #teammariah! Hope this isn’t her! I was wondering why she put that out there. Hmmmm…..

    The plot thickens…..

  64. Mariah Carey and her bi-polar admission. Her former manager is accusing her of sexual harassment. Clue: Heroic refers to her hit song “Hero.”

  68. Conchita Wurst

    She said that an ex-bf of hers wanted to out her condition so she wanted to head them off at the pass, so to speak. I knew that something was “fishy” here , lol

  73. Mariah Carey – recently announced she had bi polar disorder . I believe her assistant is suing her and she’ll probably use it to her advantage. It explains a lot recently and will probably help her out . Just seems super convenient to announce now

  74. Mariah Carey

    Her former publicist (I think?) is all over the news today claiming she was harassed by her and that Mariah was frequently naked in front of her and didn’t take her bi-polar meds.

    Good Plan? I don’t know. It still doesn’t excuse bad behavior. I’ve felt Mariah was a egotistical train wreck for years.

  75. Mariah Carey and her bipolar disorder.
    Good plan? Yes, people always believe what they read on the magazines so they will believe her side (The same happens with Selena, Bieber and many others)

  77. Mariah Carey….bi-polar. I don’t think it’ll fly. But, who knows? She could get some kooky judge. Affluenza ring a bell?

  78. Definitely Mariah Carey
    Just saw the headline that she is in legal trouble – sexual harassment and nudity claims
    Her bipolar reveal last week.

  79. Mariah Carey, revealing she battles bipolar disorder. Good plan? Yes, very sneaky- very. Like the heroic clue (for Mariah’s song Hero).

  82. Mariah Carey revealing she is bipolar. I don’t know what she is going to be held criminally responsible for, but good plan. Shouldn’t joke about mental illness, though.

  84. I’m thinking Mariah, but I’m not exactly sure what she would be accused of? Keeping James Packer’s money or ring?

  85. Ut oh. Mariah Carey.

    Optional: Stinks if she is responsible for doing something illegal.

  88. Wow, this is Mariah Carey, isn’t it? That woman’s life is like a circus really. It looked like she was finally doing better, now. To be honest, sometimes it’s hard to figure out if I like her or if she just annoys me.

  89. I just found this on line: “Conchita Wurst has decided to tell everyone that she’s HIV-positive after an ex-boyfriend threatened to go public with the info”

  91. Mariah Carey
    It might not work, but it’s a valid defense. It certainly explains why she seems such a nightmare to work with. Whether it explains not paying someone will be for the courts to decide.

  93. Obvs Mariah Carey. Just revealed she’s been living with bipolar II since 2001, had a massive hit with “Hero.” Sneaky move on her part, but given that she has enough resources to have access to mental health professionals and appropriate treatment I doubt it will exculpate her entirely.
