Let me start by saying
Mariah Carey doesn’t care about lawyers
so now, neither do I.
In March 2023, I sold Mariah a Christmas idea.
One where she would finally embrace all the memes about her.
And really cement her status as The Queen of Christmas.
In the film, at the stroke of midnight on the 1st of November,
a vault that had been keeping her hidden all year,
would open to reveal her frozen inside a giant ice cube.
Using only a hairdryer, she would be defrosted
and would wake from her yearlong slumber,
to sing her iconic high note, denoting the beginning of Christmas.
She bought the idea and we went into production.
Then she pulled out a month before we were due to shoot.
’Personal reasons’.
Then on November 1st, low and behold we discovered
she had just gone and made it herself.
Badly.
Which is maybe the most Mariah thing she could ever do.
Given she is constantly being sued for stealing shit
(including the Christmas song she’s most famous for)
it’s perhaps not surprising that the most popular thing she’s ever put on social media
is also, stolen.
After only a week she’d had
80 million+ views on Instagram alone.
10 million+ likes across her channels.
And had been written about in every media outlet from the UK to the moon.
And she’s not even ‘in’ it.
It’s CGI’d to shit.
