Mariah Carey Heading Towards A Breakdown

Mariah Carey is spiraling dangerously out of control and pals fear the songbird could be barreling toward a tragic meltdown, spies warned The National ENQUIRER! Reporters caught the songbird looking bleary-eyed and practically falling out of her clothes on May 29 (pictured) — as she had to lean on a security guard for support while leaving a Los Angeles restaurant! But that was just the end of a long month where spies complained that the 46-year-old diva was making a “complete fool of herself!”

“Mariah is showing a lot of the same behavior that led to her 2001 meltdown,” dished a snitch. “She’s got an entirely new team around her — and they may not have her best interests at heart.” As The ENQUIRER reported last year, Mariah’s brother, Morgan, expressed fears his sister was suicidal and abusing booze and drugs in the midst of a mental crisis!

Worries for Mariah’s health began on April 22 when she appeared to need help exiting a Paris nightclub. The ENQUIRER also caught Mariah sexing up her act while performing at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, and heading out to thrill the crowd with a nip slip!

Witnesses said she looked tipsy while out in L.A. and dressed in a fishnet bodysuit for a very late dinner on May 4 (pictured) — sparking more fears that her drinking is out of control!

Morgan said Mariah was “struggling on a number of levels,” getting worse by the day and surrounded by an entourage of enablers. But in public, she seems to be riding high. Mariah is engaged to Aussie billionaire James Packer, and has launched a Las Vegas residency while signing a new deal with Epic Records.

Morgan said Mariah was “struggling on a number of levels,” getting worse by the day and surrounded by an entourage of enablers. But in public, she seems to be riding high. Mariah is engaged to Aussie billionaire James Packer, and has launched a Las Vegas residency while signing a new deal with Epic Records.

But pals dished that the pressure of making everything perfect for her Vegas residency — as well as her wedding — is “stressing Mariah out.” They report that now Mariah — seen here stumbling out of her shoes at a May 16 event for NBC in Manhattan — is screeching at her handlers while barking out orders!

Fears are growing that Mariah — with an estimated worth of $510 million — is pushing herself too hard, and could end up suffering an “emotional and physical breakdown” again!

Last year, Morgan — who hasn’t had direct contact with Mariah for two years — dished: “If my sister turns up dead … I’m not going to look the other way! Anyone who’s filling her glass is jeopardizing her life!”
