Flashback: Mariah Carey Meets Tommy Mottola’s Wife In 2005

Published: Saturday 22nd Jan 2011 by David

Even divas have awkward moments. In 2005 Mariah Carey was temporarily reunited with her 1st husband and mentor, Tommy Mottola, at a private industry party where she was introduced to his latest wife, Thalia.

Mottola married Thalia in the year 2000, a mere 2 years after the end of his tumultuous marriage to Carey. The music mogul, who once guided the careers of acts such as Celine Dion and Destiny’s Child as the head of Sony Music Entertainment, was accused of sabotaging Carey’s musical endeavours after her departure from the label by copying her songs and giving the products to Jennifer Lopez.

More images of the ‘pleasant’ meeting are available below:

    Too Awkward. You can see the despair in Tommy’s eyes. Mariah doesn’t want to look at him and he’s all touching her hand lol. I bet he though Mariah would be nothing without him. Go Mariah.

      I see why Mottola is a happy man…. Thalia is an Angel, a beautiful and lovely girl whitout trsh inside the brain like Carey. Mariah looks like a flying cow whit an amazing voice but whit a box fat body….

    Oh God, this must have been so awkward. I heard “Thalia” just wanted to meet Mariah LOL

    It’s funny tho because I was just thinking about this “incident” the other day and couldn’t find any decent photos.

    Slow news day indeed, TGJ ? I’m pretty sure they’re a lot of akward moments between exes in Hollywood since they all work together.

    2005 was a great year for Mimi, that’s when she came back in the game. And no matter what Mottola allegedly did to her after their divorce, he made her the superstar we know.

    They’re rich, famous and successful so it’s all good.

  10. Ariana January 22, 2011

    I’ve read Thalia’s been a big fan of Mariah so I guess she was super excited in meeting her. The only one who seems uncomfortable is Tommy, seriously.
    Mariah was probably enjoying the success of TAOM so I guess she’d forgotten the whole “Sony sabotage” incident.

  11. Nichole January 22, 2011

    Someone must be bored….

    This is a straight up slow news day.

  12. Vicky Bee January 22, 2011

  18. Rick Ross Boss January 22, 2011

    I never liked Tommy but Mariah ain’t innocent either. She turned into a major ho after 1997.

  19. Fierce Bish January 22, 2011

    Wow….Tommy hasn’t aged well…

    This is when FAT-riah started getting fat. So for those who claim it only started during the pregnancy is lying. Damn, she’s like a size 8-10 right there. She’s now a size 26.

  23. QueenofPopJanet January 22, 2011

    Why do you think anyone cares? Get off Mariah’s d*** (and I believe she has one) Trent.

  24. GodneyShitsOnYourLife January 22, 2011

    In this type of situation decorum and class goes a long way ………

  27. ThatMigrator January 23, 2011

    How awkward! I’m sure Mimi handled it well though.

  28. Juan January 23, 2011

    I’m from Argentina, and Thalia is very popular here in Latin America. I like some of her songs, but I prefer Mariah!!

    What an akward moment! Yet, Mariah must have handled it perfectly well… Thalia must have felt ok too… But have a look at Tommy’s face!!!

  29. Andreas Greece UK January 23, 2011

    Guys and girls, thalia has sang mariah songs and admires her….

  35. JT January 23, 2011

    YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT, JAYLA. TOO BAD YOU INSULTED AN ENTIRE MINORITY GROUP IN DOING SO. LET ME GUESS, THOUGH: YOU’D NEVER USE THE WORD ‘N*****,’ RIGHT?

  36. tahoegeminii January 23, 2011

    Tommy made her!!! Of course he could give songs he used to give to her to JLo or Beyonce or about 100 other carbon copy “pop singers” anyone of them would have been as big or bigger than mariah if Tommy had launched the most expensive promo campaign EVER for them instead of skanky “i’m such a molested 12 year old mentally arrested self absorbed princess/diva freak” Mariah-she used him as much or MORE than her used her -and her dead fish hand shake and condescending snobby look on her face makes her look pretty arrogant-go home and play with your little boy toy Mariah that will lick your feet like beat down dog and call him a “man”- what has this bee-yotch ever done but make strip videos and play men to get what she wants-and if that doesn’t work she immediately goes into depression and total mental breakdown-basically the feel sorry for me act all ho-bags use if they can’t play a man with his d***-are we all supposed to be forced into continually telling this bee-yotch how wonderful she is -even when she sucks-so she won’t go threatening to cut herself??Now that she is old and fat you will see her “real” colors come out-when old h*** can’t get men to drool after them they get sooo nasty and start acting even more bizarre

  37. tahoegeminii January 23, 2011

    PS-this photo is obviously before she turned into a blimp-gee that was only 5 years ago-she must have been doing some major porking out-and before ya’ll start on it-that IS NOT the baby -you can’t even see baby bump under the double chins, huge gunboat flabby arms and massive fat boobies she is always sticking out in everyones face to distract and horrify

  38. Jayla January 23, 2011

    @JT

    HONESTLY I DONT FEEL I’M OFFENDING YOU , I MEAN IF YOUR GAY THATS FINE, MY REFERENCES TO F*** ARE THOSE MEN WHO ARE ON HERE ACTING LIKE QUEENS HATING ON WOMEN, CALLING THEM FAT AND ETC… THEN I REFER TO THEM AS F***, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A GAY MALE THAT DOESNT AUTOMATICALLY CLASSIFY YOU AS A F**, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE…

  39. Jayla January 23, 2011

    I MEAN WHAT GROWN MAN WOULD SIT ON A BLOG SITE AND TYPE PARAGRAPHS INSULTING A FAMOUS WOMAN? POOR THING, PERSONAL ISSUES

  40. HOLY DAME GODTINA THE QUEEN January 23, 2011

    THE FACT THAT TRENT IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT AND VERY UNEDUCATED SHOWS CLEARLY IN HIS WRITING/THOUGHT PROCESS, HE NEEDS TO GET A REAL JOB, MAYBE THEN HE CAN PAY A GHOST WRITER TO DO HIS JOB WITH SOME CONVICTION.

  41. Caleb January 23, 2011

    Haters, stfu with the complaints. If you don’t like it, DONT READ IT. #staypressed

    Anywho, Mariah looks gorg. Whata class act!

    “LOOK TRENT THIS ISNT MARIAH DAILY, STOP RUINING YOUR BLOG WITH AL THIS MARIAH-NESS”
    -LMAO, get a life…

  42. TIMMI January 23, 2011

    @CHECKMATE

    That Fat-riah joke is almost as used out as your bucket of an a***, you hating f**. The idiocy you retain is beyond me, how are you going to judge Mariah’s body in a picture where she has a done up coat on? Even with the coat on she doesn’t look fat, you can see from her face and arms.

    This is from 2005, where Mariah looked like this:

    http://tinyurl.com/65jrsut

    http://tinyurl.com/6czmcfr

    If you think that is fat, then you obviously do not know the definition of fat. But Google image “fat” and I can assure you that you will not find an image comparable to Mariah.

    “So for those who claim it only started during the pregnancy is lying. Damn, she’s like a size 8-10 right there. She’s now a size 26.”

    Well inbetween 2005 and Mariah’s pregnancy occurred many other years, one of them including 2008, where Mariah looked like this:

    http://tinyurl.com/6bv6nq9

    http://tinyurl.com/6f5vwh6

    In other words, I just plastered a BIG FAT *FAIL* stamp on your whole argument and slayed your life.

    We know that Mariah suffered a miscarriage in 2008, and we know she has since been trying for a pregnancy. We know that she has taken fertility treatments (which equal weight gain) and we also know that she is now pregnant with TWINS (which, guess what dumbass, also equals weight gain). It’s nice that you tried but sit your ass down; you have and always will fail.

  43. Sublime00 January 23, 2011

    I would have loved to be a fly on the wall after that awkward moment and Mariah told someone about it lol

  44. sugarwalls January 23, 2011

    OMG!!! what an awkward moment that could have been for these 3 people!!!
    However, im loving all the news your’e bringing about Mariah be it old or whatever…
    I just love reading about her!!! Love love Mimi

  45. Imf January 23, 2011

    Mimi is such a shady b****, I f****** love her!!!!! And he never made Nariah because she was a bad b**** and selling millions without him so f*** all you lame Mimi haters!

  46. KELENDRIA ROWLAND January 23, 2011

  47. KaVion January 23, 2011

    This is so irrelevant?
    Anything to keep Mariah in the spotlight huh?
    I guess I can’t blame you, that’s what a good stan does.

  48. Juicy Drip ! January 23, 2011

    @tahoegeminii
    You are a dumb m*********. You ever heard anyone sing a Mariah song successfully? NOPE !!! There is only one MC ! NOBODY CAN COME CLOSE TO HER VOICE OR TALENT ! ps. She writes/co-writes all her own s***, so Tommy didn’t “give” her her songs. She wrote/co wrote all of them !

  49. JohnVidal January 23, 2011

    @tahoegeminii
    m*********** of the week. And even worse: total ignorant. If you don´t know nothing about music industry cos you are 10 years old or simply retarded then don´t write s***. And you obviously are a jelous b****, or maybe a misogynist by the way you talk about a woman. In fact a woman who has been with a number of men you can count with the fingers of one hand in 40 years. Probably the same number the do per week. Or maybe the problem is you never tasted one and you are bitter
    BTW Mariah looks classy and wonderful

  50. dboy January 23, 2011

    ppl calling her fat are the most pathatic and insecure morns that exist in blogosphere,

    she’s a musician not a model and she’s made millions and made her mark in the industry and become somebody in this world and u choose to poke fun at her size?

    i wonder what any of u would like standing next to her

    keep spewing ur guts out, she couldnt give a feck!!!!

  51. Fespi January 23, 2011

    I feel the necessity to touch on this,

    It is “sad and yet predictable” that people would feel the need to judge (which is no one’s right but the Lord’s) a singer and a vocalist by her weight, which, I might add has in years fluctuated consistently.

    And what is more, is that no one much considers how severely thin she had been for a time in the early to mid-90s.

    There are singers, and then there are entertainers, and sometimes a combination of most, mind you, this does not at all equate to equal parts!

    Britney Spears is a singer, but she is not a singer to the word. She is an entertainer first and foremost. And this is something which can be considered with artists such as: Lady Gaga, Beyonce (who is a good singer, but a greater entertainer), Celine Dion (a greater singer than she is an entertainer, but still knows what entertaining is), and so on and so forth.

    Mariah is a poor performer (by today’s standard, before it would have been fine if she just stood there, or even sat, but then the television sets were mostly still black and white), she never grew into an act, she practically went from demo tape to the arena stage, and as amazing as her voice remains, there has been loss, but the voice subsists regardless.
    And the relationship with Mariah and Mottola? Why is it that record labels search for stars, the next thing? So they can exploit them. But this is understood, this is the agreement. Record labels absorb the revenue and rights while the “star” shines. But the life of a star is determined by the energy potential of the star. Motolla gave Mariah her start, but that was an eventuality. She already had ties to the music industry through her work she had done. It was only a matter of time before an executive would discover her (staying true with the star analogy). Through her successes Tommy secured his position for years.
    But she won too! Because it’s not, “Who’s going to be the next big thing?” it’s, “Who’s going to be the next Mariah Carey?”

    And people can say what they want to say, and remember: it’s when everyone wants to knock you off when you know you’re at the top. Or was it, “Mo money, mo problems!”
    I do not know Mariah, but I have followed the artist’s trail, and she remains above the rest.
    It is so interesting, I will say, that so many will rub her into the ground, as if they have the right to speak of her person. How can you “hate on” someone when you have no idea of who that person is?

    In the end, Mariah is an amazing vocalist with a beautiful voice, she is a strong woman, she went against an industry which devours women unless they are firmly locked down and controlled, she is a woman who loves being a woman, and doesn’t hide it. Mariah is going to be a mother (how can you speak about a mother so harshly? Shame.), hard times have been laid bare (she may not be impeccably perfect as some of you), she is constantly being pulled apart, but she is still collected.
    And for those who were talking about a certain individual being a high school drop out (who the Hell cares!) in my experience high school might have been a party, but it was such a waste of time!

  52. Marissa Aspen January 24, 2011

    Mariah look like she had a 50-people deep entourage behind her.
