Mariah Carey Calls NYE Debacle ‘An Opportunity to Humiliate Me’ (Audio)

Mariah Carey has finally addressed her malfunctioned New Year’s Eve performance in Times Square, saying organizers “foiled” her and that “it turned into an opportunity to humiliate me.”

“I haven’t really addressed the situation that happened on New Year’s Eve, and in time I will. But for now, I want everyone to know that I came to New Year’s Eve in New York in great spirits and was looking forward to a celebratory moment with the world,” Carey said in an audio recording shared on Twitter Sunday. “It’s a shame that we were put into the hands of a production team with technical issues who chose to capitalize on circumstances beyond our control.”
