‘Paranoid’ Mariah Carey Puts Staff On Hiatus Amid Ex-Manager’s Damning Accusations
April 24 2018, Updated 6:15 p.m. ET
Mariah Carey is facing a scathing lawsuit brought against her by ex-manager Stella Bulochnikov, who reportedly alleges the superstar singer sexually harassed her by getting naked in her presence.
And although the 48-year-old's legal team insisted they will fight "vigorously and successfully" against the former manager's "frivolous and baseless' allegations, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the star “doesn't trust anyone right now” and has frozen out nearly her entire staff!
“Mariah has pretty much put everyone on hiatus until further notice,” a source close to the diva told RadarOnline.com.
“She is not at all happy about what is going on and had a nuclear meltdown because she cannot believe she was so foolish to trust Stella when everyone around her told her not to.”
While she sorts out a potential legal mess, Carey is keeping her squad to a bare minimum.
"She feels that she really can’t trust anyone, except for boyfriend Bryan Tanaka,” the insider said, adding that Carey “is being slightly paranoid.”
According to The Blast, Carey — who recently confessed to battling bipolar disorder — was hospitalized in 2016 after claiming she was going to dinner with late stars Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince. The incident could likely become part of Bulochnikov's allegations in court, the outlet alleged.
