As Carey continues to be the brunt of jokes three days after the incident, her team are clapping at DCP for “intentionally setting her up to fail” – a claim the production company and its staff vehemently deny.  Now, after strong defense from her manager, Stella Bulochnikov (see more on that here), the legendary songstress is offering her own commentary on the experience she’s branded “mortifying.”

While the onslaught of commentary garnered a fiery response from Burrell, her “clean-up” only seemed to worsen the matter and helped ignite a petition to see her booted from appearing on Ellen Degeneres’ daytime talk show to promote the film ‘Hidden Figures’ (January 6th).
