Mariah Carey Beats Brother's $20 Million Defamation Suit

Mariah Carey just closed the book on her brother. A judge on Monday dismissed Morgan Carey's $20 million defamation lawsuit over her bestselling memoir, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey," handing the superstar a total win, per Rolling Stone.

Morgan filed the suit back in 2021, claiming the tell-all defamed him, the Hollywood Reporter notes. The family legal war that followed stretched a full five years, per TMZ. Monday's ruling ends it cleanly. No trial. No $20 million. And the memoir stays exactly as written. For Carey, the courtroom chapter is over — and she got the last word.
