A New York judge dismissed most of a defamation lawsuit by Mariah Carey's older brother over her 2020 best-selling memoir, though the singer must still face two claims.

In a 29-page decision on Tuesday, Justice Barbara Jaffe of the state Supreme Court in Manhattan said Morgan Carey can sue his sister over passages suggesting he distributed cocaine to “the beautiful people,” and implying he might have “been-in-the-system” — in prison — for a serious crime. Jaffe said that while that passage “reasonably conveys a defamatory inference that plaintiff was abusive toward his family,” Morgan Carey, who is about a decade older than his sister, failed to show he suffered “special damages” resulting from harm to his reputation.
Lawyers for Morgan Carey and the publishers declined to comment on Wednesday. Lawyers for Mariah Carey did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
