Mariah did not reach out to her sister
David Baker, a close friend of Mariah, claimed that the singer did not try to reach out to her sister during their estrangement, on the US Sun. She refrained from checking up on Alison even when, weeks ago, the latter was put on hospice care. Baker said, โA phone call or, better still, a video call would have meant so much to Alison. But it never came.โ Baker claimed that the Donโt Forget About Us singer was aware that her sister was dying a month before her death.
According to Mariahโs friend, the elder sister was upset about the fact that the singer chose to โcut off contact with herโ and maintained no contact, as reported by Page Six. He said, โThe callous rejection added more hurt to Alisonโs pain. She talked about it frequently. She wondered if Mariah or any of her relatives would come to her funeral. I am told that a memorial service is planned for a future date, but nothing now.โ
