No Post-Birth Beer for Mariah Carey

abc mariah carey ll 111018 wblog No Post Birth Beer for Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey says that, contrary to reports, she did not drink a beer after giving birth to her twins.

 

After giving birth to not just one baby but two, you might excuse a new mom for wanting a drink … but singer Mariah Carey is quashing earlier reports that she had a beer after her twins Moroccan and Monroe were born last spring at a Los Angeles hospital.

The beer allegation prompted the involvement of California Child Protective Services, who, Carey said, investigated whether the babies were subject to “neglect.”

“It just doesn’t make any sense,” Carey told Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview airing on “20/20″ Friday.

Carey said that, at the time, the newborns — who are now six months old — were being cared for in the hospital’s neo-natal intensive care unit.

“The babies were in the most protective environment because it’s the NICU,” she said.

Carey said the beer story started with a suggestion by a nurse who brought the singer a beer, saying it would help improve lactation.

But, Carey said, “I didn’t even drink the beer.”

Watch Barbara Walters’ exclusive interview with Carey and husband Nick Cannon, plus see their babies’ faces for the first time, on “20/20″ Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

First of all the “beer allegation” was Nick’s attempt to pish posh away the hospital staff calling the CPS for neglect-so what WAS the real reason hospital staff would do this -there was a reason and now MeMe is trying to rewrite history AGAIN-and secondly she had a C-section/ tummy tuck a month before she was due-she was literally pumped full of pain killers and heavy narcotic drugs for the month she was laying on her but in the hospital-she was high enough without drinking a beer-in fact any alcohol would have been dangerous with that much narcotic in you-I think the hospital staff was sick of being her maids and nannies and figured that was the best way to get the lazy self absorbed MeMe to GET OUT-no matter how much Hospital admin was licking her but for the money-you can bet she was a huge interference with running the hospital and her lingering stay like she was at the Ritz Carlton was effecting care for the other patients in the hospital-they called for a reason and MeMe dim wit is too stupid to remember that the beer story was Nick’s to cover up what really was going on-and that is why”it just doesn’t make sense” Meme-cause you are lying when 1+1 does not = 2 then you don’t know the whole equation -SIMPLE-so meme what ARE you covering up? you act like a delusional mentally arrested molested 12 year old-why does anyone think this pyscho would make a good mother-she only forced them out with GREAT expense because she stalks JLo-she has to have everything JLo has-she has jealously copied her since the eighties and the whole racing to get married and have twin boy and girl also is getting on the freaky side-too bad MeMe because JLo is kicking your pathetic old fat stripper arse right now and jumping on Beaver Boy to remake your boring rehash trash overdone Xmas song just makes her look even more desperate then scratching and drooling at the window of the cupcake store after closing to sneak a dozen cupcakes and ONE cup of milk-I wonder what alley she had to hide in to shove those down her Ms. Piggy face

I don’t know if things have changed since my daughter was born almost 19 years ago, but when I was in labor, I wasn’t allowed to have anything to eat or drink except ice chips. I was in labor for 27 hours, and after my daughter was born, what I wanted more than anything else in the world was WATER. The attending nurse gave me a cold bottle of water, which was the best water I have ever had in my entire life. After that, I was allowed to drink some apple juice, which was positively ambrosial. But I can’t remember being that thirsty any other time during my life.

We cannot know, because we weren’t there, what can be known is from those who were there. No one can say that these children are unhealthy, unloved, and unattended. Mariah has dealt with this quite well, even pushing back media bids and public curiosity. She allows us to see her as imperfect, because as a human we are allowed our flaws, though celebrities are demanded to be above this. And since we cannot demonize her (e.g. Winehouse), though we’ve tried (e.g. Glitter), her flaws are redeemable for most of society. Jealousy, envy, and our own prides and greeds corrode our opinion (ex. Squincher ).
