Mariah Carey Would Feel “Violated” If She Had Kids
I’m going to be honest with you and tell you that I have no idea what she is talking about, but apparently one of the reasons Mariah Carey won’t have kids is because she would feel “violated“:
So staff may be breathing a sigh of relief that pop princess Mariah Carey says she doesn’t want to have any kids in the foreseeable future.
Perhaps there is just not enough room in the world for two Miss Careys.
But in a somewhat bizarre explanation, the singer has claimed that having children would leave her feeling ‘violated’.
“It’s hard to have kids in this world,” she told OK! magazine. “I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it.
“For now, I enjoy my dog Jack’s company. It’s definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby.
“I never wanted to feel violated and I know that’s a kind of weird thing to say, but that’s how I am.”
Well, hmm. I’ve heard rape victims saying they feel violated, and I’ve heard people who have been victims of a burglary say they feel violated, and I’ve heard victims of a violent crime say they feel violated, but I’ve never heard anyone compare having a baby to feeling violated.
I mean, when you feel violated, it is a feeling that someone has come in and invaded and defiled your most sacred personal space. So Mariah is saying that a baby would invade her body, and defile her sacred personal body space? Having a baby is a scary proposition, but is it a violation or fear? I agree that stretch marks and cellulite and morning sickness suck; but is it a violation, or just vanity?
I agree that having kids in this world today is a hard job. It’s a 24/7/365 commitment, and when you have those kids, it’s for life. And I agree that if you are used to being a “baby” yourself, having a baby probably isn’t the smartest decision you could make. Babies require bucketloads of attention, and quite honestly, some people (even non-famous, everyday people) just can’t handle having the spotlight taken from them and shined on a little infant who can’t even control its bowels.
So it’s probably good that Miss Mariah feels she isn’t ready for kids. Unfortunately, far too many people only discover that fact after it’s too late and the kid is already here.
And let’s face it…I don’t think she could handle a life where the attention isn’t all on her. We wouldn’t want to depose her as the Supreme Being of Mariahland. She couldn’t live her diva lifestyle if she had a baby around, you see:
On her recent trip to London, Miss Carey insisted on having a £10,000 [almost $20,000] personal gym installed in her penthouse at Mayfair hotel Claridge’s.
She booked every penthouse suite in the exclusive hotel to accommodate her 15 strong entourage of hairdressers, bodyguards and personal stylists.
But perhaps her greatest moment of diva madness came during a trip in 2005 when at 2am she refused to check in to her hotel until a red carpet and scented candles lined the entrance.
Yep…it’s definitely good that she realizes she doesn’t need a baby. I just hope her personal stylists and hairdressers will be there to keep her company in her old age.
(And who stands like that to sign autographs? She looks like she has to go make weewee.)

I think she needs to be neutered then. Idiotic statements like this piss me off because I can’t drop babies all over the place like I’m sure Mariah could. She’s taking something that some women would give up everything for, and making it a VIOLATION??
Bye bye Mariah, any dignity you may have had is gone, and your fan base is drying up faster than Tommy Boy’s.

What an air-headed idiot. Why anyone pays any attention to her is beyond me. Except to laugh at, that is.

As whacky as she seems at times, this makes a whole of sense. I wish most celebrities (and wannabe Divas) would take that same outlook on having (or adopting) children just to get some extra publicity. Mariah is at the top of her game and deserves to have the life she wants!

Well, there is something to say for her not procreating.
Maybe the biggest violation to herself would be that she would no longer be the center of her own universe…a baby would have to come first and that might be an unimaginable option with her. And, if she had a big stomach, she wouldn’t be able to easily stick out her @ss when she is signing autographs, in that so very natural and dignified pose.
