Mariah Carey is ‘mortified’ by disastrous NYE performance

Mariah Carey is breaking her silence about her cringe-worthy New Year’s Eve performance.

“All I can say is Dick Clark was an incredible person and I was lucky enough to work with him when I first started in the music business. I’m of the opinion that Dick Clark would not have let an artist go through that and he would have been as mortified as I was in real time,” she told Entertainment Weekly on Tuesday.

The pop diva took the stage during “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on Saturday night, but had a meltdown on stage when she wasn’t able to hear her vocal track.

In the early hours of the new year, she tweeted, “S–t happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017.”

However, the drama continued to unfold when her team claimed that the gig’s producers purposefully “sabotaged” her performance to raise ratings.

“You know her inner ears were NOT working and your entire production team did not set her up to win,” her manager wrote to the head of the production company, demanding a “formal apology” for the blunder.

The producers responded on Monday that the claims were “frankly absurd.”

“It’s not going to stop me from doing a live event in the future,” Carey said, “But it will make me less trusting of using anyone outside of my own team,” adding, “It really was an incredible holiday season that turned into a horrible New Year’s Eve.”
