She had split from her husband Tommy Mottola and later suffered a breakdown in 2001 that led to her being hospitalized for two weeks due to ‘extreme exhaustion.’
Mariah will delve in the memoir into the breakdown which she called ‘alleged’ to Variety.
‘It was an emotional and physical breakdown, but it wasn’t a nervous breakdown,’ she explained, ‘because you don’t recover from that really.’
