The über diva Mariah Carey heats up the pages of the upcoming Interview magazine with her splendiferous voluptuous body. In the issue MC is very candid about her 2001 meltdown.

She said:

“I consider the breakdown a breakthrough – I needed to hit rock bottom, however it happened. I needed to understand the cost of pushing so hard, fighting so hard against the system. You just can’t beat the system when they’re against you and are that strong…. But was I out of control at that moment? Yes. I believe that it happened for a reason.”
