6. Tommy Mottola & Mariah Carey
The more I hear about the marriage between Mariah Careyand Tommy Mottola, the more horrified I am. He discovered her when she was a teenager, made her break up with her boyfriend, and then took complete control of her personal and professional life. He made her record songs that she did not want to and isolated her from her friends and family at a home in suburban New York. He was known to be controlling in all aspects possible and really inhibited her. In his memoir,Mottola creepily wrote, “If it seemed like I was controlling, I apologize. Was I obsessive? Yes. But that was also part of the reason for her success.” Thankfully, Mariah eventually escaped that marriage and his professional control and was able to live her life and have a career on her own terms.
