Nobody wants to take responsibility for Mariah Carey’s New York Eve’s flop of a performance which means we now have a classic he said/she said situation on our hands. Hours following her trainwreck show, the iconic entertainer blamed the disaster on “sh*t happening” while her representative further clarified that it was technical difficulties beyond Carey’s control that ruined her performance. Now a source within Carey’s camp is claiming the star was actually sabotaged, a claim Dick Clark Productions denies.
A source tells TMZ that Mariah had one too many technical difficulties prior to getting on stage for any of it to be a mere coincidence. Mimi’s camp claims show organizers wanted to “sabotage” her performance so they could get “Mariah drama” and boost ratings. The singer and her team reportedly told organizers of the technical difficulties before performing but were assured everything would be running smoothly. However, Dick Clark Production claim Mariah’s allegations are “silly” because the star failed to do a sound check before her performance.
Dick Clark Production sources tell TMZ … Mariah’s “sabotage” claim is “silly,” seeing how she’s the one who decided not to do a sound check, and had a stand-in do it instead. They also say there were 8 monitors on stage amplifying sound, so even without an inner ear, Mariah should have been able to hear just fine. They add Mariah changed her story … initially saying the track was wrong. Our Dick Clark sources insist her camp provided the track list.
Mariah’s camp also claim Dick Clark Production admitted the trainwreck was their fault and were “screaming” about the earpiece failure right after the show. They also claim one person even yelled, “I don’t care that her ears didn’t work. She could’ve just winged it.”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
