Why? Glorifying a dead junkie is only going to encourage kids to follow the same behavior.

Uh, she passed away without any drugs or alcohol in her system. She had been successfully clean for a while. Not very long, but still, long enough that it counts. So maybe you should get your head out of your butt long enough to realize that the only example she will ultimately provide for children is a reason NOT to do drugs or drink, but if you are an addict, no matter how far you fall, you can always pick yourself back up and get help. She got help. She certainly struggled for a long time, but that doesn't make her any less of a human being and you are disgusting for attempting to marginalize her death.

The woman is dead. Let her rest in piece. What a tacky way to start a new show.

Re: bowiemian – She did have drugs in her system at the time of her death. She just moved from heroine to abusing prescription drugs.

Mariah Carey 'Ruined' Her Movie Cameo With Her 'Borderline Abusive' Behavior! Let Will Ferrell & Cedric Yarbrough Explain!

This house ain't big enough for Mimi's ego!

Earlier this week, Will Ferrell stopped by Late Night and revealed that Mariah Carey filmed a cameo for his upcoming comedy The House, but noted she "did not make the final cut."

The comedian hinted to Seth Meyers that the songstress may have executed some diva-like behavior on set, but didn't go into too much detail.

Thankfully, Ferrell's costar Cedric Yarbrough took the late night confession as a green light to dish on what actually went down on set -- and provided a detailed play-by-play of how Carey "ruined" her cameo!

After Will's interview aired, the Speechless star took to Facebook to spill all the tea about Mimi's ridiculous demands on set, sharing:
