Nick Cannon speaks out about Mariah Carey split
Actor/rapper Nick Cannon has served up what he promises will be his last thoughts on his separation from estranged wife Mariah Carey, insisting he won't be making any statements regarding the couple's break-up.
The rapper and TV presenter confirmed reports suggesting the couple had split last month (Aug14), confessing he and Carey had been living apart for months.
Since then, speculation has surfaced about the break-up with some
media outlets suggesting Cannon's alleged infidelity with a younger
model led to the split, while others have attacked Carey.
In a lengthy Twitter.com post on Wednesday (03Sep14), cannon set
out to clear up the rumors, writing, "I have personally been absent
from social media for the past few months for obvious reasons but I
feel the need to finally speak up... During this challenging time
for me and my family it saddens me that the media can be such evil
bottom feeders...
"Because my family & I haven't been forthcoming with personal
information, people are quick to paint negative pictures and spread
rumors.
"For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding
my marriage. So whatever your favorite gossip outlet is reporting
has been created within their own imagination... At this difficult
time I would ask all civilized people to please respect my family
and this process."
But then he went on to vent his frustration over the media attacks
on Carey, and defended her, adding, "What infuriates me most is to
hear people slander @MariahCarey. I will forever be indebted to her
for blessing me with our children... I will always love her
unconditionally for this and so much more.
"@MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her
wholeheartedly... So to see false reports in the media stating
otherwise is absurd! While I would like to remain silent I can no
longer allow this to happen. I love @MariahCarey and that will
never change!!!"
He continued, "If the media wants to portray me as the Bad guy
that's fine... But it is unfair to drag innocent people into the
equation... Others have lives, families, and careers and for the
media to slander them is down right evil and illegal... I apologize
to anyone who's gotten caught up in this unwarranted drama.
"Don't worry about my life, worry about why you're worried about my
life!"
Carey has refused to comment on the split and the only word from
her camp came from a publicist's statement, which read: "Mariah is
focusing on her children and her upcoming tour."
Carey and Cannon wed in 2008 after a whirlwind courtship. They are
parents to three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
