The recent cheating scandal was a huge blow to the once-famous diva – Mariah Carey.

Everyone has likely come across the name Mariah Carey at some point in their lives. She is one of the few talented singers who can call herself a “diva”, ranked alongside Diana Ross, Madonna, Whitney Houston…

The singer, born in 1970, rose to fame after releasing her debut album “Mariah Carey” in 1990, which was certified Platinum and released four singles that reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart; “Vision of Love”, “Someday”, “I Don’t Wanna Cry” and “Love Takes Time”.

She has a huge music career with a series of impressive achievements, besides her career, the diva’s private life is also constantly “dissected” in large and small newspapers. In recent days, the scandal of sending nude photos to young Tanaka, “cheating” on the Australian billionaire has caused different opinions surrounding this story.

The troubled love history of the one-time pop diva

Mariah Carey’s musical talent and great contributions are something that no one can deny, but the singer’s love life makes many people bored with dozens of lovers throughout her career.

Mariah has been married twice. In May 1991, she began dating American music executive Tommy Mottola. They were engaged for five months and married on June 5, 1993. The marriage ended after four years amid allegations of abuse. The couple had no children together, and Tommy later apologized for his failed marriage to Mariah in his book “Hitmaker: The Man and His Music”.

In 1999, she confirmed her relationship with Mexican singer Miguel. The seemingly stable relationship ended in 2001. Between 2000 and 2003, Mariah had a relationship with American singer Eric Benét. While dating him, the diva was rumored to be dating famous rapper Eninem throughout 2002.

The dating and break-up continued, her relationship with Mark Sudack lasted for 2 years and then with Christian Monzon – an American model from 2005 to 2006. In addition to the short-lived relationships, Mariah made a shocking decision to marry after only 2 months of dating Nick Cannon on April 30, 2008. The couple had two children from this marriage, twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe. After 7 years, in August 2014, Nick filed for divorce from Mariah.

The “almost marriage” affair with Australian billionaire James Packer – thought to break up because of being “dumped” turned into a “cuckold” because of sending nude photos to a younger man

The dating news of the famous diva and the Australian billionaire has consumed a lot of ink in the press, they started dating and got engaged in January 2016. In October of the same year, James was the one who ended his relationship with Mariah while the couple was on vacation in Greece.

There have been a number of suspicions and rumors since the breakup. There are reports that James doesn’t like to expose his private feelings to the public, while Mariah once planned to bring this relationship to the reality TV show Mariah’s World.

Even her extravagant spending habits were mentioned as reasons for the breakup: from spending $45,000 a year on spa treatments for her beloved dog to spending $100,000 a month on exotic flowers from around the world to be delivered wherever she went.

“Memorable” love affair with Australian billionaire James Parker

James has called their relationship a mistake for both parties. He opened up about his failed relationship with Mariah Carey in his biography, “The Price Of Fortune: The Untold Story Of Being James Packer.”

His initial relationship with Mariah was romantic and “full of fun.” The 51-year-old businessman recalls the good times: “Everywhere we went, we were given the best tables, and that was because of her. Mariah was so nice and caring.”

Things took a turn for the worse not long after he proposed to Mariah. In February 2016, James fell into a psychological crisis due to his “bad” business and having to shoulder a billion-dollar debt to pay off his sister’s debt.

Amidst the financial turmoil, James was under additional pressure to organize a wedding. Mariah Carey’s wedding dress alone cost $250,000. Things got worse during a vacation in Greece in September 2016, when James and Mariah had a heated argument about getting married.

Mariah left in anger and then the billionaire announced the cancellation of the engagement. According to MailOnline, James had to pay Mariah Carey $50 million in damages after the cancellation. Mariah Carey only found out that she had been “dumped” when she read the news. This was a huge shock to her.

A month later, she dated young dancer Bryan Tanaka. The singer seemed to hate her ex and did not want to mention James Packer’s name again. In an interview in Israel, when asked about James, Mariah replied : “How do I know where that son of a bitch is? I don’t care.”

The hateful words towards James made everyone believe that she was the one who was really hurt after everything, the engagement was broken off in shock and tears. But the hot photo sent to her young lover Tanaka that was recently leaked was like a sharp knife, cutting into every “piece of trust” that fans had for her. Looking at the series of photos, and looking at the sexy dancing actions of the two, it is really hard to say that they did nothing wrong.

DailyMailTV exclusively obtained the footage, inside the D’Angleterre Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark, in March 2016 while she was there for a concert. In the mobile phone clip, Mariah is seen dancing provocatively alongside Tanaka, his white T-shirt pulled up, his hand reaching up to pull up the 49-year-old singer’s skirt, touching her upper thigh as she dances.

Mariah was still engaged to James Parker when the video was filmed. A spokesperson for the singer told DailyMailTV: “We are not aware of this and cannot confirm where or when it came from, but Mariah is definitely not a womanizer.”

According to insiders, the diva became infatuated with the young dancer while she was still dating James. She also ordered her staff to take photos to send to Tanaka, who goes by the nickname “Tiger”.

Among them are six semi-nude and fully nude photos taken on her yacht while on vacation with the billionaire in July 2016. One photo shows Mariah posing on a staircase wearing a gold sequin bikini, while another is a close-up of the singer’s bikini-clad chest.

Other photos were also exchanged in text messages between Carey and Tanaka on a staffer’s phone, on May 20, 2016, Mariah posed in a revealing leather jacket, to which Tanaka responded with a series of claps and “fireworks” emojis. The two even had elaborate plans for when they would spend the night and escape the cameras.

A text message between Tanaka and Mariah’s staff:

Tanaka: “What are her plans for today? Is she going to stay at the hotel until she goes to match the show again?”

A Mariah employee: “Hey T…. I booked with my corporate card but you have to prevent any incidents… don’t forget … thanks.”

Tanaka then ended the conversation by thanking the staff.

The news after breaking out has shocked the online community, stunned by the “reversal” of the story that happened 3 years ago, “public opinion” is directly aimed at the female singer and after this scandal she still has not had any explanation. Currently, Mariah and Tanaka are still extremely happy together.
