Who was Alison Carey? Pop star Mariah's sister battled drug addiction before shock death on same day as mom


Dailymail.com is taking a look at Alison Carey's life amid Mariah Carey's announcement that mother Patricia and sister Alison died on the same day this past weekend.

Alison said in legal docs that Mariah 'used her status as a public figure to attack her penniless sister, generating sensational headlines describing her lurid claims to promote sales of her book.' Alison said she had 'become severely depressed and uncharacteristically tearful since the publication of [Mariah's] book and now struggles, after a long time clean, with alcohol abuse.' She said that she wanted the $1.25 million sum as 'compensation for the infliction of immense emotional distress caused by defendant's heartless, vicious, vindictive, despicable and totally unnecessary public humiliation.'
