Mariah Carey's Champagne Habits Spark Health Concerns and Emotional Struggles

Mariah Carey, the international singing sensation, is reportedly dealing with mounting distress as she battles with the visible effects of her love for champagne, sources disclose. These insiders reveal that the singer's increasing consumption of the festive beverage is resulting in a noticeable change in her figure, causing emotional distress.

The source states that Carey, 54, known for her timeless hits such as "Love Takes Time," is finding it increasingly challenging to maintain her figure, and is resorting to shaping undergarments to mask the effects of her indulgence.

Carey, who is gearing up to marry longtime partner Bryan Tanaka, 40, is in a celebratory spirit which involves a lot of champagne. "She's enjoying champagne throughout the day. Unfortunately, the sugar content in champagne is translating into unwanted weight gain," the source reveals. "She has a knack for disguising the changes in her figure, but it's causing her a great deal of emotional stress."

At times, the emotional toll is so significant that it brings the "Fantasy" singer to tears before public appearances. "She yearns for a procedure that can quickly restore her flat stomach, but the potential risks are too daunting for her to consider."

The music icon has had a public battle with her weight over the years. She once made headlines for a bizarre diet she undertook to shed pounds, consisting solely of Norwegian salmon and capers. "You would despise my diet," she confessed in 2016.

However, Carey's strict dietary restrictions didn't last long, and currently, the songstress is reportedly refusing any limitations. "Mariah has a pattern of swinging between extremes," the source says. "She's been rigorously disciplining herself over the past year, which resulted in significant weight loss."

However, with her goal weight nearly in sight, the singer seems to be reverting to her old ways, with champagne being her Achilles heel. "Her friends are strongly encouraging her to opt for healthier beverage choices, not only for her figure but also for her liver," the source emphasizes.
