Watch: Mariah Carey Talks Making Her ‘Gritty’ Biopic, Britney Spears’ Conservatorship Drama, & More

Published: Thursday 2nd Dec 2021 by Rashad

Mariah Carey has left few stones unturned in the last weeks while hot on the promo trail for her forthcoming Apple TV+ holiday special, “Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues” (streaming December 3), new holiday single, ‘Fall in Love at Christmas’ (featuring Khalid & Kirk Franklin), and the paperback release of her New York Times Best-selling memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.”

While chatting it up with our friends at ET, ET Canada, Access Hollywood, and many more, the iconic diva not only dished on what her fans (affectionately called #Lambs) can expect from the TV event but also the other happenings in her career – including a Lee Daniels-directed, 8-part biopic series adapted from ‘Meaning.’

Hop inside to hear her speak on that, the termination of Britney Spears‘ 13-year, court-ordered conservatorship arrangement, and so much more.

While visiting ET Canada (as seen above), Carey weighed in on Britney’s freedom.

“I’m very happy for her. I really am…it’s only fair. The world can be unbelievable sometimes, but we’re all going to have a great Christmas.”

The ‘Touch My Body’ diva touched on the topic again while chatting with ‘Access.’

“I think everybody deserves to be free and any other scenario is just…not. First of all, it’s so antiquated and bizarre that it was even allowed to happen so I’m happy for her.”

Elsewhere, Mariah gave fans a glimpse into the creation process of her forthcoming biopic.

“I’ve been going back and forth with Lee Daniels; I’ve been driving him crazy and he’s been driving me crazy [because] we’re figuring out the adaptation of ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey,'” she said before continuing, “it’s more than a movie right now –  It’s got to be gritty and real.”
