Mariah Carey’s Lawyer Calls ‘Termination’ Explanation ‘Lame’

Variety reports Mariah Carey’s lawyer Marshall Grossman again sounding off on the EMI use of the word ‘termination’ after the label and his client parted. Grossman blasted, “Mariah was not happy with Virgin and she wanted out. We negotiated (Carey’s departure) for over two months. There were to be no further statements by either side other than the joint press release. EMI’s lame explanation is that they were simply reporting the $28 million payment as a public company.”
