Mariah Carey Was Forced To Grow Up Fast

Mariah Carey tells Allure magazine in their January issue that fame and her teenage marriage to Sony music boss Tommy Mottola, then 38, forced her to grow up fast. “A lot of girls I knew were sexually active, but I wasn’t,” she says of her 18-year-old self. “I was apprehensive due to what I’d seen, like teenage pregnancy. I may have walked around in tight-a— clothing, but that’s where it ended. [In my work] I’ve never done anything lewd.”
