Rihanna’s abuse from former boyfriend, Chris Brown has been in the headlines again with her ABC interview.  But, it seems that another pop star has had her own abusive past.

Mariah Carey shared her story on Larry King Live,

“Abuse has several categories,” Carey answered King. Watch Her Response

“You’ve been emotionally abused?” King questioned.

“Emotionally, mentally …” Mariah said.

“Why is it hard to get out of it?” King continued

“Well, it’s scary,” she said. “You know I just think you get into a situation and you feel locked in if your situation is similar to one of the situations that I’ve been in which I won’t harp on.”

“No you don’t have to, but it is hard to get out?” he asked again.

“For me, to really get out it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage but a business thing where the person was in control of my life,” Carey added.

Any kind of abuse is a horrible thing.  Mariah’s story is different than Rihanna’s but both woman can help thousands of other suffering from physical and emotional abuse out there.  I appreciate them sharing their experiences.
