Mariah Carey‘s E! docu-series ‘Mariah’s World’ set off to a promising start last month. Yet in recent weeks fans have been turned off by the increasing lean towards soap opera antics.

Indeed, as the singer attempts to spin her break-up from billionaire businessman James Packer, the show has focussed less on her ‘Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour’ and more on her blossoming “relationship” with dancer Bryan Tanaka.

And with the finale set to air this Sunday, a preview teaser has sent some fans into a fit of fury.
