Mariah Carey has faced criticism after it was reported that she did not attempt to contact her late sister, Alison Carey, during her final moments despite knowing she was gravely ill. This revelation comes from statements made by Alison's close friend.
David Baker details the family estrangement
David Baker, a close friend of Alison, disclosed to The Sun US that Mariah did not reach out to Alison, even when she was placed in hospice care. Baker expressed that a simple phone or video call from Mariah would have meant a great deal to Alison, who had been longing for a connection during their estrangement. He conveyed that the lack of contact added to Alison's emotional distress during her final days.

According to Baker, Alison was deeply affected by Mariah's decision to sever ties, feeling isolated and rejected. He stated that Alison often reflected on whether Mariah or any other family members would attend her funeral, revealing the depth of her sadness. While a memorial service for Alison is being planned, no immediate details have been shared.

A turbulent family history
The relationship between Mariah and her siblings has been rocky, as highlighted in her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
