Mariah Carey’s sister had a real rough go of it, no two ways about it.

The Hero singer announced in a statement to People on Monday that in a “tragic turn of events” both her mother Patricia and her older sister Alison died separately on the same day. The day Mimi provided her statement, David Baker, a longtime friend, revealed Alison had been in hospice for three weeks prior to her death. He also said Mariah knew, but didn’t ever reach out. Now, he’s speaking out more about his friend’s “tough life” and estrangement from the My All singer.

Speaking to People on Wednesday about Alison’s passing, David explained:

“We saw it coming, but it’s still a shock. She got ill fairly quickly and a month later, she’s gone.”

Unfortunately, the last time Mariah saw her late sister was either in 1994 or 2002, according to David. Either way, over 20 years.

As we’ve covered in the past, the two had a falling out in ’94 amid Alison’s tough life. She got pregnant with her first child at just 15 years old and because of her lack of work experience, found it difficult to bring home money. So she unfortunately turned to teen prostitution. In 1987, she had her second child, and just one year after that, she tested positive for HIV.

On top of all that, she also struggled with substance abuse. The late 63-year-old made it known that Mariah had paid for multiple of her rehab stints, but things finally came to a breaking point in 1994. Patricia apparently went to pick up Alison’s son Michael for a weekend visit but ended up taking him in full time and got temporary custody because she felt Alison was an unfit mother.

Years later, Alison returned the favor. She launched a shocking lawsuit against her late mother, claiming she subjected her to sexual assault in satanic rituals when she was just a child. You can read more about that HERE.

As for Mariah, she made it clear in her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey that it was “emotionally and physically safer for [her] not to have any contact” with her big sister.

Such heartbreaking stuff. It’s so sad that things had to go that way for the Carey family.

However, just because Alison wasn’t close with her sister and mother doesn’t mean she had no one. David spoke about first meeting his late friend in 2015 after she suffered a traumatic brain injury during a terrifying home invasion, which affected her short-term memory. It was Alison and Mariah’s brother Morgan who reached out in a Facebook support group asking if anyone would be able to go visit and spend some time in the hospital — and David stepped up. He explained:

“I knew when I saw the request that I was the only person anywhere near Albany, New York, so I said, ‘Well, I’m going to go for this.’ They eventually sent me to the hospital and I met Alison.”

And over the past nine years, David said “hardly a day went by” where he and his friend didn’t speak over the phone:

“I saw somebody who needed help and I knew I could do it. She’d tell me that she was so glad I was around. More recently, before she got sick, if I went somewhere for an hour, she’d call and say, ‘When are you coming back?’ And I’d say, ‘Well, I’ll be there in 20 minutes.’ And then she’d call a second time and say, ‘When are you coming back?’ Because short-term memory was affected by the brain injury.”

He even helped find her Coxsackie apartment in New York three years ago, which was ultimately where she passed away. He told the outlet:

“She got her wish. She died in her own home.”

But before that, David shared that her four kids — three sons and one daughter — visited two to three weeks before her death. And her daughter, who apparently lived close, even began visiting daily.

We’re so glad to hear she was surrounded by loved ones in her final days. She lived such a difficult life. May she and Patricia both rest in peace.

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

A New York man brutally murdered all three of his siblings and his niece after a disagreement about what to do with their late mother’s home.

A sibling meeting turned deadly over the weekend after the five of them met up at their late mother’s Syosset home out on New York’s Long Island to discuss what to do with the property after her death earlier this month. According to the Nassau County Police Department, 59-year-old Joseph DeLucia had lived for his entire life with the siblings’ late mother in the home. Everyone else, including sister Joanne Kearns, 69, brother Frank DeLucia, 64, sister Tina Hammond, 64, and niece Victoria Hammond, 30, was seemingly in agreement over selling the place — besides Joseph.

On Sunday, they were set to meet with a realtor to begin that sale process, but that sadly never happened. NCPD Captain Stephen Fitzpatrick said in a press conference:

“They brought Starbucks and they assembled in the den area. The brother (Joseph) stayed behind.”

While they were awaiting the realtor’s arrival, Joseph apparently “decided that day to get a loaded, Mossberg shotgun, 12 gauge, approached them in the rear area of the house, and from the kitchen, fired 12 shots, striking all four of them multiple times.”

Holy s**t…

The police captain revealed:

“The perception of Joseph Jr. was that he was being cut out of the will and was going to be displaced without a place to go.”

And because of said “perception,” Joseph allegedly made the decision to remove his siblings and his niece from the equation… and himself, as well. Fitzpatrick added:

“He then took the weapon, went out to the front lawn, was shouting indiscriminately about what happened. A neighbor heard him doing this, called 911, and that was our 911 caller. He then fired a self-inflicted shot to the chest and killed himself.”

That is just so awful.

Fitzpatrick revealed Joseph had “past mental issues, psychological issues that were reported to us that we have not confirmed.” Apparently, in 2022, cops were called to the residence to conduct a welfare check. But at the time, he wasn’t “displaying any signs that he was dangerous to himself or others.” However, a neighbor reportedly told cops in an “unconfirmed” tip that Joseph “made statements in the past that if you hear gunshots, don’t bother calling 911 because it will be too late.”

WTF…

And get this: according to surviving family members via NBC New York, Joseph was NOT even being left out of the will as he reportedly believed. View more details on the tragic situation (below):

This is all just so, so sad. Our hearts go out to the surviving members of the family.

America’s Got Talent winner Grace VanderWaal has resurfaced with an eerie message!

If you watched season 11 of AGT back in 2016, you probably remember then-12-year-old Grace winning the whole thing. She’s quietly been making music since then. And earlier this month she crossed paths with popular New York TikTok star David Carmi, who regularly approaches people who look confident. And a now 20-year-old Grace happened to be one of those people!

After bumping into the TikToker, she said:

“Oh my god, you’re the TikTok guy! I see you all the time … I’m, like, nervous. My name is Grace VanderWaal.”

David quickly recognized her from the reality competition show, before asking her some deep questions. He asked the young adult what her biggest struggle is, and she revealed:

“I honestly felt like it helped me as a person because it threw me into scrutiny and just kind of forced me to sink or swim.”

And when it comes to being more confident, she added:

“Just accept who you are and don’t try to be anyone. Ew, that’s so corny. But it’s true.”

Wise words!

And finally, David asked Grace what her advice to her younger self would be, and she ominously responded:

“Don’t trust everyone.”

Whoa!! What does that mean?! Did she have a bad experience with some music producers or other people in the business after AGT?! You can watch the full TikTok video (below):

Wendy Williams has been spotted!

About a week ago, she and son Kevin Hunter Jr. walked into a holistic health store in Newark, New Jersey, and snapped some pictures with the man who runs the place. That’s a BIG deal, because it marks the first time the Wendy Williams Show alum has been seen in public in 18 months!

Related: Wendy’s Family Gives Grim Update About Their Contact With TV Legend On Her 60th Birthday

Per Page Six, Wendy and Kevin went into a shop called Bolingo Balance in the city of Newark. There, they not only purchased some products, but also took pictures with a man named Victor Bowman. He runs the store, and is the son of its late owner — renowned holistic health practitioner Dr. Sebi, AKA Alfredo Bowman. As you can see (below), Wendy was smiling in good spirits as she posed with Victor:

Amazing!

And that’s not all. An employee told Page Six that Wendy was “sharp, upbeat, and aware” during the visit, and had been “very bubbly” while chatting with Bowman. At one point, she sat down with Victor and had him explain some products. The worker noted that while the 60-year-old daytime television alum wasn’t as knowledgeable, she listened closely as they were explained to her:

“She was engaging but wasn’t as familiar with what we do here, so her son was more explaining things. She talked about circulation improvement but didn’t want to get into too much detail on their first meeting and plans to come back in the near future.”

In the end, Bowman sent Williams away with several holistic products, including iron-rich herbs like contribo, sarsaparilla, and bottano oil. Plus, she received a bottle of Dr. Sebi’s famed capsules which promote hormonal balance. Gotta have hormonal balance!

It’s not clear exactly which day Wendy showed up at Bolingo Balance, but per Page Six, Bowman first shared the above photo on his Facebook page on August 19. So, it seems this was a recent development! And considering this is the first time Wendy has been seen in public since March of 2023, it’s big news!

With all that she is going through while battling Graves’ disease, lymphedema, frontotemporal dementia, and even primary progressive aphasia, she’s got a lot on her plate. We’re glad that she’s focusing on her heath. And we’re glad her son could be there for her, too! Reactions, y’all?? Share ’em (below)!

Was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce hiding in plain sight for WAY longer than we suspected?!

With the Jenny from the Block singer finally pulling the trigger on divorce filings earlier this week, fans have been trying to piece together their exact breakup timeline. J.Lo officially listed their date of separation as April 26, which just two months after she raved about her soon-to-be ex-husband in her documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told. But was an alternative title even MORE telling of the estranged couple’s actual state??

Related: J.Lo’s OBSESSION With Social Media Was Destructive To Ben Affleck Marriage, Claims Insider!

In resurfaced footage from Ben’s appearance on Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart show on Peacock, the Good Will Hunting star reflected on the time when he and the On the Floor singer took their blended family to a play in New York, and all hell broke loose. He recalled being stuck in traffic when he suggested that the family of seven, including Ben’s three kids Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, as well as J.Lo’s twins Max and Emme, 16, get out and walk “blocks” through Times Square to speed up their arrival time.

But being the international sensation that Jennifer is, things quickly went south as fans started to notice her and bombard their group for attention and pictures — which is exactly what Ben HATES! It was apparently at around the same time that J.Lo was searching for a name for her “autobiography,” as Ben put it, and that his daughter was “always throwing out titles.” And amid the fan frenzy, she apparently turned to him and suggested:

J.Lo Was My Stepmother”

Keyword here being “was”!!!

This interview dropped back in June and was likely filmed long before then, so was Ben already in the mindset of thinking about Jennifer as his ex?! Was this him accidentally letting slip that J.Lo was part of his past, since he used the past tense?! It kinda seems like it!

As we know, he tried his best to be okay with being so heavily spotlighted in J.Lo’s documentary, but took issue with their relationship being broadcasted to the masses. Not an ideal spot for him, for sure! What are YOUR thoughts, Perezcious readers?? Was this a slip up on Ben’s end, or just semantics? Let us know your opinions on this intriguing matter down in the comments below!

A 23-year-old woman pepper sprayed her Uber driver in a shocking, unprovoked attack earlier this month – and it was all caught on camera!

According to WABC, Shohel Mahmud picked up Jennifer Guilbeault and her friend on West 46th Street in New York City on the night of Friday, August 4. What started as a peaceful ride took a terrifying turn, though. A dash cam video of the incident showed that Guilbeault suddenly lunged forward from the backseat and started spraying the unsuspecting driver in the eyes – seemingly for no reason. While the woman grabbed Mahmud’s arm and continued to spray him, he tried to get out of the car as fast as possible but struggled since his seat belt was on.

Related: Girl Decapitated By Power Cables In Dance Practice Gone Horribly Wrong — But Was It Foul Play?!

Meanwhile, her pal sat in the backseat stunned and horrified at what went down. She can be heard repeatedly saying in the video:

“Jen, what the f**k?”

Guilbeault also is heard saying, “Get him out,” at one point before she exits the vehicle to stand on the street. Watch the horrific video (below):

Jeez! Police arrested and charged Guilbeault with assault. Per The New York Post, cops said she was hit with a desk appearance ticket and will appear in court at an unknown date. Law enforcement is not investigating the attack as a hate crime. However, Mahmud knows, without a doubt, that what happened here was an alleged hate crime. He recalled to the outlet that he picked up the women in Midtown and did not say one word to them before the attack:

“They are talking to each other. I’m not talking to them, my job is to drive them. I start going straight down the Central Park Traverse, straight down to 65th and Lexington. Suddenly, this girl for no reason spray me with pepper spray.”

At first, the driver thought the woman wanted to steal his car and phone when the attack started and jumped out. However, he soon realized the vehicle was still moving, so he got back inside to turn it off — where Guilbeault continued to pepper spray him. When her friend confronted her about why she did what she did, Mahmud claimed Guilbeault said it was because of his skin color:

“Her friend, she is yelling, ‘Jen, Jen, what the f**k, what are you doing? What’s going on?’ Her friend is asking ‘Why did you do that?’ And she says, ‘He’s brown.’”

He continued:

“I mean this is totally ridiculous. I do nothing and she spray me. Pepper spray is illegal. She assault a driver for no reason. This is a hate crime.”

But as we mentioned, police aren’t treating this incident as such. WTF. Mahmud also told WABC on Monday that “the burning lasted” for “two hours” after the attack. Watch the interview (below):

Following the attack, a spokesperson for the rideshare company told the outlet:

“The rider’s actions shown in the video are deplorable. Violence is not tolerated, and the rider has been banned from the Uber platform. We will support police in their investigation however we can.”

Guilbeault seemingly was fired from her job at D. Pagan Communications after she faced backlash on social media. Before limiting their comments on all their platforms, the firm posted on X (Twitter):

“We are aware of the behavior of this former employee and we don’t condone this behavior.”

Agency president Debra Pagan then confirmed to PRWeek that she no longer is an employee at the firm but did not specify when she left. What happened to Mahmud is awful. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments.

But behind the scenes of this stylish look? It apparently was a complete nightmare! The 53-year-old reality star took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal the strap of her dress “came off” at the premiere. Oh no! What made the night worse? It poured outside, getting her shoes soaking wet! The rain was so bad she even had to drape a shawl over her head to protect her from the elements at one point. She said:

“I was in the rain. My shoes that are gorgeous are soaked. I can’t go out. This is why nobody takes me anywhere. It’s a freaking disaster.”

Yikes! But beyond her fashion mishap, Bethenny still had fun! As she wrote in the caption:

“PS. Blake looked beautiful and I did pass Anna Wintour by the popcorn stand & audibly gasp… she told me my Met Gala invite is in the mail & we made a date to shop together at TJ Maxx.”

Oh no! Her bag must be ruined, too — she keeps dropping names all over the place! LOLz! Take a look at her It Ends with Us premiere adventures (below):

Whitney Port caught you red-handed, Jennifer Lopez!

While in the Hamptons, the former reality star and her husband, Tim Rosenman, said they saw the actress “set up a paparazzi shot” outside of the Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton! Whitney told her With Whit podcast listeners last week:

“It’s so special that I’m pretty sure J. Lo the other day was riding her bike to get a scoop of ice cream for a paparazzi shot. We were driving to the movies, and all of a sudden…”

Tom immediately cut in to say that Jennifer “did not even go in” and was “just there for the exterior shot.” Are we really surprised the Hustler’s star allegedly orchestrated her own pap shot? Not really! Port’s hubby thought the singer’s behavior was “weird,” and called her out for being “addicted to attention.” Oof. Whitney agreed, adding:

“That’s her vibe. She’s popped [up] everywhere. She’s always looking hot. And I think her continually looking hot in cute settings is what keeps the machine going.”

Plus, it is all part of the Bennifer divorce plan for J.Lo! While Ben Affleck was on the West Coast, she has been photographed riding her bike or hanging out around the Hamptons area on several occasions — with and without her wedding ring on. She reportedly made sure not to hide amid the breakup rumors with her estranged husband, as she wanted “the world to see her having the best summer ever” and not thinking “‘poor J.Lo.’”

She apparently wants the narrative out there that she’s doing just fine without the actor once the two finally announce their divorce! Tim, on the other hand, suspects she is just obsessed with the “extra f**king attention” more than anything else:

“She’s already as famous as you can be, why does she need to sort of stoke the flames of her own fame? It seems unnecessary. Why does she feel the need to keep the machine going?”

Ultimately, he and Whitney feel that “if [they] had J. Lo’s money, [they] would just be done.” Not Jennifer, though. She loves the spotlight too much — which is supposedly one of the many reasons why her marriage to Ben ended!

New details have been revealed about Justin Timberlake‘s driving while intoxicated arrest!

Last month, the pop star’s attorney insisted to reporters his client was “not intoxicated” when young cop Michael Arkinson pulled him over following a night of drinking and partying at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor in June while on break from tour. You know, the world tour! Justin even pleaded not guilty to a revised misdemeanor charge of driving drunk. But the police report obtained by Dailymail.com on Tuesday? It appears to tell a different story than what his lawyer is trying to push!

Related: JT Plans To Throw Friend Under The Bus To Get Out Of DWI Case!

According to the documents, Justin was pulled over shortly after midnight on June 18 by the 24-year-old rookie cop after he observed him blowing a stop sign and swerving into another lane. Arkinson’s handwritten notes revealed Justin — who was alone in the car — showed several signs of intoxication at the time of arrest, such as having “[b]loodshot and glassy eyes, odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from breath, inability to divide attention, unsteady afoot…” Justin, as we know, swore he wasn’t too drunk, though! The officer noted the 43-year-old singer said:

“I had one martini and I followed my friends home.”

However, we later learned the “one martini” he supposedly had was a Vesper martini, and it’s a super STRONG drink! The amount of alcohol reportedly is “equivalent to a double of just about any other cocktail.” Damn! Oh, and Justin allegedly stole someone else’s drink. All of that may explain what supposedly happened next…

Arkinson went on to note in the report that the Trolls star was “unable to focus on speaking while looking for vehicle registration.” For the field tests later on, the officer had Justin do the walk and turn test, which requires a person to take nine steps in a straight line before placing your heel directly in front of your toe, then turning, and repeating the process. Per Arkinson, the actor failed miserably. He allegedly was “very unbalanced” and “unable to follow instructions correctly.”

From there, Justin was required to lift one foot slightly off the ground and keep it raised for 30 seconds without moving. And once again, he wasn’t successful at the test. Arkinson claimed the former *NSYNC member swayed during the test, had to use his arms to remain balanced, and ultimately put his foot down before the 30 seconds lapsed. The other test he was asked to do? It was a prescreen breathalyzer. But Justin refused to take it. In fact, he ended up turning down taking the test three times and wouldn’t even initial the document confirming the decision! Since JT refused, along with the signs of intoxication, Arkinson placed him under arrest.

When the pair arrived at the police station, the cop took inventory of Justin’s property. He apparently had on him a Rolex watch, a black vape pen, a gold ring, and a wallet containing three $100 bills, one $5 bill, and one single. Once again, the Mirrors artist was asked to take a breath test at the police station but he still refused. The police report stated Justin replied:

“No, I’m not doing a chemical test.”

His Miranda rights were read at 1:26 a.m., and the dad told Arkinson he understood them before saying he did not want to speak without a lawyer. Wow.

Of course, as we mentioned, Justin’s attorney argues he was not drunk at the time of the arrest. He even claimed the arresting officer “made a number of very significant errors in this case,” including failing to have a supervising officer sign off on the criminal complaint. The error has since been corrected, with the prosecutor, Ashley Cangro, swearing it has no bearing “on the facts of the case.”

Whether the “facts of the case,” including what was spelled out in the police report, will lead to Justin getting into some serious trouble — or just getting a slap on the wrist. We’ll see. But in the court of public opinion? It’s not looking good for him so far! And he already is on very thin ice with folks after the Britney Spears and Janet Jackson drama! What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Do you think JT was drunk in light of the report details? Sound OFF in the comments below.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is most likely over, but she is not ready to part ways with her massive engagement ring yet!

According to Page Six, the actress was spotted on Thursday night heading to a preview of the Perelman Performing Arts Center’s Cats: The Jellicle Ball in New York City, and she was wearing her stunning green diamond that Ben used to propose the second time around on her ring finger! However, it was on the wrong hand! The rock was not on her left-hand ring finger — but on her right one instead! J.Lo didn’t even try to cover it up as her hand was placed over her red shoulder bag, making it stand out! See for yourself (below):

What does this mean?!?! Despite the breakup reports over the past few months, Jennifer and Ben were seen wearing their rings on and off even as they spent a large chunk of the summer on opposite coasts! Usually, the estranged couple kept them on that finger — the one where typically engagement and wedding rings go on. But now, Jennifer switched the placement of her huge sparkler?! Is this another hint that everything we heard is true? That their relationship is done for good? You know, it does givee off the same energy as when she ditched her “Ben” necklace and replaced it with her own name? Is the ring switch-up just another way of signaling a fresh start in her life as an independent woman? Hmm…

Well, at this point, Jennifer, we don’t need any more hints! The writing has been on the wall for some time now! The pair publicly listed their $68 million mansion in Beverly Hills for sale. As Jennifer celebrated her birthday this month, Ben purchased a new $20 million house in the Pacific Palisades. That came after they were already living apart, with the filmmaker at a rental home in Brentwood. Meanwhile, Jennifer has been in the Hamptons and New York for weeks. The divorce documents reportedly “are finalized, but not yet turned in” as they are waiting for the right time to make it official.

Why delay the inevitable and fuel all the speculation if the two aren’t working on saving their marriage anymore? Perhaps the right time should be now! What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? What message do you think Jennifer is sending with her new ring placement? Let us know in the comments below!
