Mariah Carey blames Lee Daniels for bizarre award speech
News

London
(ANI):
Singer
Mariah
Carey
has
jokingly
held
filmmaker
Lee
Daniels
responsible
for
her
bizarre
acceptance
speech
at
the
Palm
Springs
International
Film
Festival
Awards.
Carey
found
it
difficult
to
speak
as
she
slurred
and
stumbled
with
words
while
trying
to
give
an
acceptance
speech
after
she
bagged
the
best
supporting
actress
award
for
Lee"s
Precious
at
the
Palm
Springs
Film
Festival,
earlier
this
week.
"The
thing
is
me
and
Lee
hadn't
see
each
other
in
a
long
time,
and
then
he
was
presenting
my
award,
so
he
starts
off
immediately
with
inside
jokes," the
Mirror
quoted
Carey
as
saying
at
the
People's
Choice
Awards
on
Wednesday
night,
where
she
was
named
favourite
RnB
artist.
"We
had
splashes
of
champagne,
and
I
love
Lee
but
he's
a
bad
influence.
If
people
don't
understand
me
and
think
I'm
just
like
this
girl
that
stands
by
a
microphone
and
sings
Hero,
then
they're
definitely
not
going
to
get
me….
But
if
people
knew
me
better,
they
would
understand
I
have
a
sense
of
humour,
and
basically
that's
what
gets
me
through
life," she
added.
