Another day, another unfortunate burglary of a celebrity’s home. There have been a bunch of burglaries taking place in the mansions of celebs this year- including the homes of Drake, Nicki Minaj, Alanis Morisette, and more. The latest burglarized celebrity home belongs to singer, Mariah Carey. In case y’all haven’t heard, on Thursday (Oct. 19), burglars hit up Mariah’s L.A. mansion. They reportedly got away with $50K worth of jewelry, purses, and a few other items.
Thankfully, Mariah, nor her children were home at the time. Not sure where her and Nick Cannon’s twins were, but we do know that Mariah was across the country in New York city. According to Radar Online, now that Mariah and her team have received more details about the robbery, she reportedly is now suspecting that her own security team set the whole thing up…or at least knew something about it prior to. Here’s what was reported about that:
RadarOnline.com has now exclusively learned that Carey, 47, who was in N.Y.C. at the time, believes that the heist was an “inside job!” … “Mariah isn’t upset over the belongings because $50K to her is nothing. But she is upset because she believes that it was not just a random robbery,” a friend of the diva songstress said. “The robbers had to know she was not in town because Mariah keeps a very private schedule, especially when she is traveling.”
According to reports, the burglars accessed Carey’s home through a bedroom window using a ladder. Oddly, even though the home’s silent alarms were set off, Carey’s security team did not respond for hours after the incident and, by that time, the thieves were gone.
“The robbers knew to go in her bedroom window and there are hundreds of windows on her house,” the insider told Radar. “The fact that the burglars set off the alarms and her security did not respond has made her question her security and she is considering whether or not she is going to replace them all. … Mariah isn’t upset over the belongings because $50K to her is nothing. But she is upset because she believes that it was not just a random robbery,” a friend of the diva songstress said.
It’s almost that time of year for us to start dusting off classic Christmas albums, like Mariah’s 1994 “Merry Christmas” LP. From the sounds of it, Ms. Carey may be singing her own songs this season, because ‘all she [probably] wants for Christmas,’ ain’t “you,” it’s new security…and maybe some customized mansion-sized burglar bars while at it. All jokes aside though, the material things the thieves took can be replaced, we’re just relieved that no one was harmed in the process.
