Mariah Carey’s Sister Is HIV-Positive Escort, Tells All to Tab

While she’s at home with husband Nick Cannon, no doubt getting ready for the arrival of her twins, Mariah Carey is dealing with some family drama – in the tabloids. Her sister is speaking out to the National Enquirer.

In the latest print issue of the celebrity magazine, Alison Carey Scott, Mariah’s older sister, reveals she’s so strapped for cash that she’s working as an escort.

Alison is 49-years-old, has 4 children, is a former drug addict and alcoholic, and she’s been tested as HIV-positive since the ‘90s.

The Enquirer tracked her down via a free internet site where she was “shopping herself,” as the tab puts it, using a fake photo and info that was entirely made-up.

Alison herself tells the Enquirer that she’s only working in this line of work because her entire family has turned their backs on her and she simply doesn’t know what else to do.

However, she’s just an escort – and not more, even if she has two arrests on her record proving otherwise.

“You have no idea how badly I need cash right now,” a “distraught” Alison says for the Enquirer, asked to justify why she chooses to earn money this way.

She says she was left hopeless when she reached out to the family and was turned down, including even by her multi-millionaire sister, who is living the very definition of a fairytale life.

“I’ve been forced to do this because my family refuses to help me financially. For weeks, I was driving in a vehicle with practically no brakes. It was unsafe, so I reached out to my family for help, but they basically ignored me,” Alison reveals.

“I wish I didn’t have to make a living by hooking up with strangers on the Internet, but sometimes I feel like I don’t have any other choice,” she adds.

Though she insists Mariah would not share with her at least a small fragment of her fortune, until she gets back on her feet, she admits that the singer paid for her countless rehab stints.

At least she’s trying hard at turning her life around, she underlines.

“I’ve been clean and sober for 14 months. I attend drug and alcohol support meetings, receive counseling and have a sponsor to lean on. I’m also enrolled in college, which I hope will someday provide a better life and financial independence,” she says.
