Mariah Carey Marrying Billionaire But Will He Get A Prenup

 
 
Mariah Carey first shot to fame in the early 1990s after having an affair with millionaire music executive, Tommy Mottola. Carey married the older former manager turned music CEO, after he gave her a record deal in exchange for their sexual affair that began when she was 18-years-old and tore his family apart. The marriage financially enriched Carey, but ended in divorce after a few short years. Mottola has been trying to get revenge ever since.

Carey, 47, is now engaged to another older billionaire, Australia's James Packer, 48. Packer's net work is assessed at $5 billion dollars. The question is, did Packer ask Carey to sign a prenup. There are wildly exaggerated estimates online stating Carey is worth $500,000,000. However, Carey's net worth is closer to $100,000,000 and it is dependent on certain factors. Carey spends lavishly on private jets, mansions, sports cars, designer clothes and diamond jewelry. Carey has not had a hit in a decade. Therefore, she turned to a Las Vegas residency to bring in money, but has missed a few show dates and is struggling with average attendance and bad reviews.


Mariah Carey and James Packer
 
Packer has a lot to lose if he marries Carey and the marriage implodes. Do I think the marriage would last? No. I get the distinct feeling trouble and disaster are coming. Carey is quite the character, who constantly makes outrageously excessive demands and unreasonable requests of people, she expects those around her to immediately fulfill or she acts like a spiteful child. An intelligent businessman is not going to put up with that for long. Carey is trying to hold the crazy in until they get married. Then the real Mariah will come out. Just ask Nick Cannon, who headed for the hills citing her crazy behavior.

Packer was a Scientologist, having become involved with the sect at the insistence of Tom Cruise. Packer was the richest Scientologist in the world. Packer reportedly left the Hollywood cult in 2008. Now he's engaged to Carey, who is in the worst Hollywood cult, Kabbalah. Hollywood cults have a tendency of preying on very wealthy people or those with massive assets, to get their money and property, while usurping their influence and so-called power.

Hollywood Actor Johnny Depp Accused Of Beating Wife Amber Heard Over Lesbian Affairs


Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

Hollywood actor, Johnny Depp, has been hit with a restraining order, during his messy divorce from actress, Amber Heard, 30. Depp married the known lesbian actress and was said to be enraged when she began cheating on him with women, such as cocaine addicted model, Cara Delevingne, who is being sexually passed around Hollywood and sports circles by the Kabbalah Center, in exchange for industry favors. Heard stated in court papers that Depp became paranoid that she was cheating on him. However, she gave him good reason to think that. 

Heard has accused Depp of engaging in acts of violence against her. Heard went to court last week, during their divorce, with visible injuries, stating Depp threw his mobile phone at her, which hit her across the face. Heard also alleged that on May 21, 2016, Depp was swinging a champagne bottle around the room “like a baseball bat.” It is reminiscent of lesbian Madonna’s false claims that ex-husband Sean Penn had beat her with “a baseball bat.” 

Depp’s lawyer has revealed Heard made up the domestic violence allegations in a bid at gaining a quick, massive divorce settlement from Depp, in a case where there is no prenup. It was a bad idea to get married without a prenup. The Judiciary Report has covered this topic for years. Depp's lawyer Laura Wasser stated, “Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse. Amber is a successful model and actress who earns her own income and is capable of supporting herself. Amber’s anger certainly cannot drive this dissolution proceedings."


Amber Heard
 
One look at her film credits reveals, Heard has done a few notable roles, but she is by no means rich or a top actress. Depp is the big star in the relationship and said to be worth $400,000,000. It was not since Heard conveniently married Depp, whom it looked like she never really loved, that she was given roles in big budget films, all due to his connections.   

Depp denies ever hitting Heard. Depp’s ex-wife, Lori Anne Allison, has come to his defense stating the allegations are completely untrue, as he is not an abusive person. Depp’s ex-partner, Vanessa Paradis, who is the mother of his children, has come out slamming Heard’s claims as well, stating he is not a domestic violence abuser. Many are stating Heard's allegations are out of character for Depp. 

Depp's friend, comedian Doug Stanhope stated of the actor, "He opened up in the most vulnerable of ways. That Amber was now going to leave him, threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every duplicitous way if he didn't agree to her terms. He got used, manipulated, set up and made to look like an as***le. Abusing women is b******t. Johnny doesn't abuse anyone. And he told that day ahead of time that she'd pull some kind of s*** like this."  

 

Amber Heard leaving court after making domestic violence allegations against Johnny Depp 
 
The Los Angeles Police Department revealed there was no evidence of assault when they responded to a call from Heard. However, shortly after, Heard uploaded to the internet a photo of a broken family picture and wine bottle on the ground, claiming it was from Depp attacking her during the incident. Once again, police stated they saw no such thing when they responded to her 911 call.

I sympathize with people who are victimized by domestic violence. If these allegations are true, Depp is completely in the wrong. However, if they have been made up, as many in the industry are stating, Heard should face charges. I have to be frank, based on what I am hearing and seeing, I don't believe Heard.

The first question is why did Depp marry a practicing lesbian. She was not a reformed lesbian, who wanted to go straight. Some lesbians change their minds and marry men, which is fine. Heard kept having sex with women before and during her marriage to Depp. Why do that to your spouse. The second question is why did he marry a fame and money hungry actress, who is now trying to take half of his $400,000,000 fortune after 1-year of marriage.


Amber Heard laughing after leaving lawyer's office a day later, after talks to get half of Depp's wealth
 
Men need to use better judgment. Just because a woman is young and pretty, does not mean common sense should fly out the window. It could not be worth this terrible drama. Last week was quite telling. Day one Heard was photographed leaving court bawling that Depp hit her in the face with his phone. Day two she was photographed leaving her lawyer's office loudly "laughing" and "cackling" after her attorney's attempt at extracting half of Depp's fortune. That didn't look right. Heard comes across as highly questionable for it.

Some high profile lesbians in Hollywood have gotten into relationships with men and provoked them to rage, playing games using women in attempts at making the male jealous. That is not a healthy relationship, testing someone all the time. Some women get off on that type of manipulation and provocation, but it is mentally unsound. 


Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard
 
When Depp began dating Heard, he changed into a different person. Depp used to be well-groomed and presentable. When Heard entered the picture Depp became disheveled and his expressions indicated confusion and depression. Depp's friends have come forward stating Heard has treated him badly from the beginning, was cruel regarding his mother's recent death, leaving him at the time of her passing, while demanding huge sums of money. That's very heartless.

Magazine Claims Nick Cannon Is Demanding $50,000,000 From Mariah Carey In Their Divorce


Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon  

Life & Style magazine is stating television host Nick Cannon is demanding $50,000,000 from singer Mariah Carey in their acrimonious divorce. I don't believe that. Firstly, Life & Style stated Mariah Carey has a "$500,000,000 fortune" which based on legal papers, music industry sales and touring records, is absolutely incorrect. So unless Mariah is running a drug cartel we don't know about, that figure is off...way off. 


Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and their twins

Based on existing reports the couple has a prenup in place. When they wed, Carey's cash and assets were estimated at $150,000,000 and Cannon's $500,000. There is no legal paperwork in the public domain showing a challenge to the preexisting prenup the couple signed.


Mariah Carey

Cannon is not entitled to the money and Carey has primary custody of the children, paying the greater share of child rearing expenses. Cannon also cheated on Carey, which usually diminishes the sum one can walk away with from a marriage as it relates to one's partner's assets. Therefore, there really is next to no room for this legal maneuver Life & Style wrote of in their article.

Nick Cannon Wants $50 Million From Mariah Carey as Divorce Gets Uglier

Mar 18, 2015 12:04PM - Since he filed for divorce from Mariah Carey last year, Nick Cannon has been spending money like crazy! He books private jets for parties, hosts $2,000 dinners at five-star restaurants, recently bought his grandfather a $400,000 Rolls-Royce and just rented an $11,000-a-month mansion in Saddle River, N.J.

"Since January, he's spent $1 million," estimates an insider to 'Life & Style.' "And Mariah thinks it's most of her money." And the 34-year-old wants more! The insider says the 'America's Got Talent' host is after a $50 million slice of Mariah's $500 million fortune. But the diva's fighting him, and it's caused their already bitter split to get even nastier.

"Mariah doesn't want to give Nick a dime over $10 million," the insider says. Now Nick is so furious, he's considering spilling all of her secrets. "It's her worst fear," says the insider...

Kandi Burruss And Todd Tucker Almost Called Off Wedding Over His Refusal To Sign A Prenup

 

The Bravo network created a spin-off of the reality show "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta" entitled "Kandi's Wedding." It centers on the nuptials of singer/songwriter, Kandi Burruss to music executive Todd Tucker. Burruss' mother, Mama Joyce, is strongly against the marriage, branding Todd a gold-digger after Kandi's money. Mama Joyce is contentious and meddlesome, engaging in a number of stunts in attempts at thwarting the wedding.

 

During most of Mama Joyce and Todd's appearances on "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta" and "Kandi's Wedding" she came across as being in the wrong and Todd a victim of her suspicious. However, Todd began to give her argument some credence by refusing to sign the prenup. Todd's lawyer advised him the prenup is not favorable to him in the event something goes wrong in their marriage, as he would be left with only what he brought into the marriage and earned. Therefore, Todd's lawyer that he retained two days before the wedding, which was nearly cancelled over the issue, advised him not to sign the prenup. After a serious string of arguments, Todd gave in and signed the prenup.

 

Anyone with assets is wise to protect themselves going into marriage by asking the other party to sign a prenup. Refusal to do so should create pause and be a reason not to get married to said person, as they are telling you they love your assets more than you. People fool people all the time into thinking they love them, then after marriage trying to take them for all they are worth. Protect yourself.

Whitney Houston's Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown Got Married Without A Prenup Regarding Her $20,000,000 Trust Fund


Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina Brown

Do you remember my previous articles warning that Bobbi Kristina brown, the daughter of late music legend, Whitney Houston, should get a prenup if she chooses to marry Nick Gordon, the male who was informally raised with her as an unofficial brother (see links below).


Well, according to reports, she married Gordon, who has been labeled an opportunist, without a prenup. This means he can divorce her at anytime and take half of her $20,000,000 trust fund. When Whitney Houston married singer Bobby Brown in the 1990s, she made sure there was a prenup in place. Her father, John Houston, who managed all of her affairs, saw to it.


Whitney Houston

However, since Houston's death, Bobbi Kristina has been shunning the advice of more experienced people around her and has left herself wide open to be taken advantage of. Baby girl why! This is not what your mother would have wanted for you. When people are in love they tend to trust too much. While I'm glad you got to marry the man you love, your money is at stake.

Do Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Need A Prenup

 

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

It was recently announced that reality star Kim Kardashian is engaged to rapper, Kanye West, who is the father of her child North West. The two have made a string of high profile appearances together and stage mom Kris Jenner has been butting into his career as well.

The couple are in the process of getting their new home ready. Much has been invested in the relationship by way of finances. Some are questioning if the couple need a prenup. Kardashian currently has more money than West. In the event the two actually do marry and it ends in disaster like her last marriage to NBA basketball player Kris Humphries, would West try to take some or all of her money.

When West gets mad and has a tantrum, acting like a girl, anything could happen. Kanye may take everything down to the tampons in the house (ok, that joke was wrong, but you guys know Kanye would do it). So in short, they need a prenup.

Chief Keef Is Engaged To A Butt Model But Does He Have A Prenup To Cover His Butt (Photos)


Chief Keef and them

It was revealed yesterday that 17-year-old rapper and ex-con, Chief Keef, is engaged to butt model Pretty Mesha. He tweeted photos of her in his bed. She posted a photo of her engagement ring. Keef, real name Keith Cozart, signed a lucrative recording contract worth millions, which included a large advance (lump sum). He also earns an estimated $13,000 per month in royalties, this is in addition to the money he makes from appearances and shows.


Pretty Mesha

Keef is under a court ordered supervisory program regarding his finances, as he is a minor. It will be interesting (to see), not to mention advisable that he obtain a prenuptial agreement in the event the engagement turns into marriage (as he also has a child by another girl, whose financial future and interests he needs to protect). No offense intended to the couple, but history has shown, sometimes when marriages don't work out, one partner tries to financially wipe out the other one, especially when infidelity is involved. Nonetheless, the Judiciary Report wishes the couple well.

Deion Sanders Keeping His Kids And Money In Divorce From Pilar Sanders

Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders

The acrimonious divorce and custody battle of NFL hall of famer, Deion Sanders and his second wife, Pilar Sanders, has played out in the press in a roiugh way. The judge in the case has awarded Sanders full custody of his children, leaving Pilar baffled. However, her past conduct, via physically attacking him, most likely went against her.

There are reports Pilar is searching for all of Deion's "$250,000,000" fortune, seeking a substantial share of his dividends. Pilar has been complaining about the alimony payments she has been given, as she cannot afford the luxurious lifestyle she had with Deion on said monthly sum.



Deion's prenuptial agreement has protected him and the Judiciary Report is in favor of the legal document. When people are hurt and fighting in a divorce, rationality will fly out the window and spite will enter the picture, in seeking to financially wipe out a spouse.

You cannot go into a marriage with the mindset that your spouse is money is your own. If someone loves you, they will not want to see you suffer or face financial hardship and will help you. But at the end of the day, men and women should not rely on that, but rather earn their own money.

If Nick Gordon Marries Bobbi Kristin Brown And Something Happens To Her Will He Get Everything

Will She Get A Prenup Like Her Mom Did With Her Dad Bobby Brown

Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon (Photo Credit: Splash)

Singer Whitney Houston's last will and testament, did not make provisions for her informally adopted son Nick Gordon, whom she raised for the past 10-years with her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. It was revealed last week, Brown is now engagement to Gordon and is wearing her mother's ring as an engagement ring.

Whitney Houston

Sorry to bring this up again, but since it is common knowledge that Brown has an addiction to drugs and alcohol, what if she does not successfully complete rehab and accidentally overdoses after she gets married. The entire Houston estate could be Gordon's free and clear.

Bobby Brown Got Nothing Under Prenuptial Agreement With Whitney Houston

Prenup Protected Houston's Wealth

Whitney Houston

Radar Online is reporting singer Bobby Brown received nothing in his divorce settlement from the late chanteuse Whitney Houston. They had a prenuptial agreement that stipulated the couple keep their assets and earnings separate. Nonetheless, Houston generously provided from Brown during their tumultuous, drug and alcohol fueled marriage of 14-years.

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown in the 1990s

As mentioned previously on the Judiciary Report, in the 1990s Houston paid to to save Brown's $2,000,000 Atlanta mansion from foreclosure. She also paid for his cars, clothes, travel and overall upkeep, when his money ran out, due to excessive spending and decreased income. Brown gave the public the impression he left the marriage broke, with only his clothes, as it was revealed he began crashing on the couch of tell-all groupie Karin Steffans.

Kobe Bryant's Wife Alleges He Cheated On Her With 100 Women

Kobe Bryant, his wife Vanessa and their two daughters

Reports indicate, Vanessa Bryant, the wife of basketball star, Kobe Bryant, is alleging the Los Angeles Laker cheated on her with 100 women - 10 women per year for the 10 years of their marriage, according to a private investigator she hired. It was stated she became upset after a recent affair he conducted became too personal and financially costly.

Vanessa and Kobe Bryant

If this figure is correct, this would explain the sheer number of women that have been publicly linked to him, especially since his wife filed for divorce this month. Bryant, said to be worth $150,000,000 married his wife without a prenuptial agreement. Under California law, she is entitled to half of everything he owns.

Kobe Bryant's Wife Files For Divorce Citing Cheating

Kobe Bryant, his wife Vanessa and their daughters

Vanessa Bryant, the wife of NBA basketball player, Kobe Bryant, has filed for divorce. She cited irreconcilable differences - which is codeword for cheating. The couple have been married for 10-years and have two beautiful daughters that she requests primary custody of, with visitation rights for the Los Angeles Laker, who is said to be sad at the news of their split.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa when things were better in their marriage

He has agreed to give her spousal support, as stated in a legal filing. As they had no prenuptial agreement, she is entitled to half of his assets. Sad they are breaking up, as they are such a beautiful family. Maybe she will reconsider and reconcile with him.

Evelyn Lozada To Quit "Basketball Wives"

Evelyn Lozada

Distressed with negative public feedback, at revelations she slept with then married basketball player, Kenny Anderson and withheld this fact from his ex-wife, Tami Roman, whilst befriending her recently, "Basketball Wives" star, Evelyn Lozada, is reportedly thinking about quitting the show.

Lozada is now blaming co-star and producer of "Basketball Wives" Shaunie O'Neal, for setting her up for a scene that culminated into a fight with Roman, who slapped her twice on both sides of her head...on national TV.

Had Lozada been more apologetic about sleeping with a married man, rather than playing the victim and calling his ex-wife names, she would not have received the internet bashing she did, after the season finale of the show aired.

Tami Roman

Millionaire Anderson, was not the best husband to Roman, the mother of his two children, whom he divorced and left penniless, due to an airtight prenuptial agreement. He could have given her something. Roman was on food stamps and other forms of government assistance, while Anderson lived it up with groupies and loose women in his mansion.

Many NBA athletes take good care of their wives or girlfriends, so it was disappointing that Anderson took this route with the mother of his children, who is clearly still scarred by the whole experience.

Beyonce Is Not Too Bright

Beyonce

Singer, Beyonce, recently did an interview on her marriage to disgraceful rapper, Jay-Z, who she reportedly signed a poorly put together prenup. She reportedly has to pay him $10,000,000 if they divorce, in addition to $1,000,000 for every year they were married.

What struck me the most about the article is her terrible use of the English language, which goes contrary to her claims that she is a songwriter. No one with such poor diction could have authored songs. She uses words in the wrong context, clearly not grasping their meaning.

It sounds like she was quoting something told to her and recited it incorrectly. For example, she stated, "Anyone who thinks so, because of what? I do not deny that there is a marriage contract. I would encourage any woman getting married to put on such a treaty, it will gain more influence on self-esteem. For details, I don't express myself. I am not here on trial."

Usher's Divorce Is Not Final

Usher and Tameka Raymond

All the people that grew excited over items on the internet implying Sony singer Usher, has divorced his wife, Tameka Foster, in a legal action that was finalized, were gleeful in vain, as a spokesperson for her has denied the story.

Some state Usher had a prenuptial agreement, giving his wife very little. However, as she has acquired very expensive tastes during their marriage, I question whether she will walk away with very little. She might even break her word and challenge this so-called prenup people are referring to, in order to maintain a lavish lifestyle in Atlanta.

She currently lives in a $4 million dollar property he purchased at her insistence. She also treated herself to expensive jewels, designer clothes and lavish parties.

For her to give that up cold turkey, would be surprising and as such, I think she would hold out for as much of his money as possible.

Their marriage has been a relatively short one and Tameka certainly did not contribute to his success. However, she did have a serious hand in the downfall of his career and the massive sales decline that accompanied it.

Usher, 30 and one of his girlfriends, Def Jam Records' Gracie Miguel, 42

Therefore, she cannot use the argument in court wives sometimes do, stating they helped their husbands' careers.

Some women actually do help their husbands' careers, but sadly for Usher, Tameka cost him a lot of money via lost revenue. He was at the top of the charts when they began openly dating and less than a year into the marriage, his career hit the skids.

In other news, Tameka continues to blame her woes in the black community, on being a dark skinned black woman, which is completely untrue. Dark skinned black women such as Iman and Jessica White are gorgeous, well liked and have successful, high profile careers.

People did not take to Tameka, because she fought Usher's mother, audience, staff and publicists, to name a few. They viewed her as a villain and an avarice, with a criminal record for financial fraud, who was out to get Usher's money.

Usher wearing a Kabbalah bracelet on his right hand

Usher too has consistently made many poor choices. Taking up with a married woman, Tameka, was one of them. He also insulted his fans for her.

Not to mention, he joined Kabbalah, a sick cult that has destroyed the career, sanity and personal lives of its members. For further reference see Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton, Britney Spears, Chris Brown and Rihanna, who've all experienced brushes with the law and bouts of insanity since joining.

Side Bar: with his career hitting the skids, very little money coming in, his restaurant/wine bar closing after failing, a few mortgages on multi-million dollar mansions, taxes, insurance, maintenance fees, staff, several car notes and a taste for very expensive clothes and shoes, plus this divorce settlement to Tameka looming, how is Usher going to pay for all this.

Rep Calls Tameka, Usher Divorce Finalization False

Earlier this week, news broke that billed Usher and Tameka Foster Raymond’s divorce as finalized. According to Foster-Raymond’s rep, that is completely untrue. “The finalization of the divorce is absolutely not true,” the mother of five’s rep told Singersroom Wednesday...

R 'n' B singer has shoe fetish, owns over 10,000 pairs

(23/8/2009) - R 'n' B singer Usher has revealed that he has fetish for shoes and that he has collected over 10,000 pairs over the years..."I even ask myself, 'Are you serious?' It's ridiculous. I go from Timberlands and Hi-Tec to Balenciaga and Lanvin. I have someone going to pick up the new red Nike Jordans for me right now," he said.

The 30-year-old also has an addiction to unusual watches. "I own about 80 watches. I travel with at least four. They're not all high-end... They range from Cartier and Rolex to Seiko and G-Shock. It's about what suits me at that moment. I also have hundreds of suits. Designer Tom Ford fits me really well," he said...
