Mariah Carey, the Diva of Diva's has had an ongoing turbulent relationship with her drug addicted sister.  From everything I've read and/or heard, Mariah refuses to assist her monetarily or otherwise.  MAYBE, going to jail for a while will help her clean up?

SAUGERTIES, New York --

The sister of pop star Mariah Carey has been arrested on prostitution charges in upstate New York.

Police tell the Daily Freeman of Kingston that 55-year-old Alison Carey was arrested in Saugerties on Friday following an investigation at a hotel. Police say she solicited money in exchange for sex from an undercover police officer.

Police describe Carey as a transient, and say she advertised her services online. Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra tells the newspaper that she identified herself as the performer's sister when she was arrested.

Carey is due in Saugerties Town Court on Aug. 30.

It wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney who could comment on the charges.

Mariah will do what she feels is best in her situation....I can't comment because I don't know the whole story.If it was my sister and I had enough money I would try to get her to rehab but that might not be wanted or the person might not be ready to be helped.

Maybe Mariah has been taken advantage of on the past.

At the stage of life they are both in there will be a history.  This behavior doesen't develop over night.

@ECBG I wouldn't doubt that she ha been taken advantage of.addicts can sink very low.

I've been reading about Mariah Carey's sister for well over fifteen years, her sister has had numerous run ins with the law and has chosen her own path in life.

Some people don't want to be helped and want to stay as they are, none of us should judge this family because of having a very famous family member. I've watched enough "Intervention" shows to know that addicts come from all social economic groups.

@dex,When I taught we had a workshop with the Sheriff's Department. I saw a picture where they had gone in a trailer where the parents of a baby had a meth lab under the baby's crib which had Disney sheets!

I have no doubt that she has helped her in the past and probably a lot of other familhy members have also. It is sad when things like this happen to people but when you are an adult you are responsible for your own life choices. No one owes you anything and it doesn't matter if they are rich and famous. When people just keep repeating bad choices that is on them and it isn't anyone elses' responsibility to fix things for them.

I don't know what she can do.  She shouldn't have to force her sister into rehab and shadow her for a lifetime to make sure she doesn't relapse.  I don't know how anyone can ever be expected to "fix" someone else with money.  

I don't know anything about this family or how close any of them  are.  The sister is 10 years older than Mariah and maybe they were never close, who knows.
