In news that will likely surprise very few people, Mariah Carey and James Packer’s split seems to be turning messy.
TMZ reports that Mariah has privately demanded $50 million from the billionaire Aussie as she thinks he owes her for uprooting her life and her children from New York to LA, so that Packer could be closer to his own kids.
The report also states that Mariah cited an alleged incident between Packer and her assistant on their holiday aboard a yacht in Greece in September, and the fact that “financial promises” had been made to her during their relationship.
“She claims the incident on the yacht in Greece — where she says he did something awful to her assistant — has traumatised Mariah so much she had to cancel the South American leg of her tour,” the website states.
Woman’s Day also reports that Packer had issues with Mariah’s manager, Stella Bullochnikov.
“He cannot tolerate her dictator style,” an insider revealed.
“She’s a constant in their lives and can be very abrasive. He can’t cop her at all.”
Other reasons floated for the split have been the fact that Mariah didn’t get along with Packer matriarch Ros Packer, her excessive spending and Packer’s concerns about their lives playing out in her new reality show.
A breakup between music’s most notorious diva and Australia’s most notorious billionaire was never going to be clean cut, was it?
