Days after offering an incoherent speech, peppered with several bad words full of hesitations and incomplete sentences, the artist confessed that all was due to alcohol abuse.<br/><br/></p>
<p>That night, Carey was celebrating his recent participation in the Precious film: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire, in which she plays the character of Mrs. Weiss.<span id="more-1891"></span><br/><br/></p>
<p>During this celebration of the film by Lee Daniels, the artist drank champagne without having eaten beforehand, so that alcohol will be swiftly rose to the head. After the event, attended the ceremony still under the influence of drink. The result was a strange scene that everyone could be seen during the transfer of awards and, subsequently, on Youtube, such as Sean Penn had predicted during the ceremony.<br/><br/></p>
<p>Mariah was also in trouble during the ceremony of the People&#8217;s Choice Awards, receiving the award for best R &amp; B artist. The tail of the long white dress she used that night got stuck in a chair, as her husband, Nick Cannon, had to help her up the stairs of the stage.<br/><br/></p>
<p>After this second setback, Carey pointed to her dress as &#8220;a tragedy&#8221; because of difficulties to move with it.</p>
