Mariah Carey<\/a> took home the W in her brother’s defamation case against her … because a judge has ruled in her favor.<\/p>\n

According to Billboard<\/a>, a judge dismissed Morgan Carey’s case Monday, ruling that he hadn’t met the legal requirements to sue his sister.<\/p>\n

Here’s the deal … Morgan was trying to sue<\/a> over Mariah’s 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” over parts of the book that suggested he’d sold cocaine and been violent during their childhood.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Billboard, the judge wrote … “The Court finds that Plaintiff has not sufficiently pleaded actual malice on the part of Defendant.”<\/p>\n

The judge went on to say Morgan “fails to provide any proof” that Mariah knowingly lied about him in her book.<\/p>\n

Mariah’s attorney, John Rosenberg, told Billboard … “Ms. Carey is gratified that the Court recognized that her memoir addresses significant issues of public interest and dismissed her brother\u2019s defamation claims in their entirety.”<\/p>\n

Morgan’s attorney told the outlet he plans to appeal the dismissal. But until then … looks like we’ve got the emancipation of Mimi IRL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariah Carey Wins Big Against Brother in Court … Defamation Suit Dismissed Published October 19, 2026 6:20 PM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939759,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-939758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
