Washington,
(ANI):
Mariah
Carey
has
admitted
that
her
2001
film
disaster
Glitter
almost
sent
her
to
an
early
grave.
Carey,
39,
had
to
be
hospitalised
due
to
an
emotional
breakdown
after
Glitter
was
slammed
by
almost
all
critics
for
being
the
worst
film
ever.
But
the
singer,
who
is
at
the
moment
relishing
in
the
rave
reviews
and
Oscar
buzz
surrounding
her
new
drama
“Precious",
refuses
to
accept
full
responsibility
for
the
movie"s
flop.
“Being
here
is
definitely
a
milestone.
But
I
had
one
milestone
that
almost
had
me
under
this
stone," Fox
News
quoted
Carey
as
saying
at
the
AFI
screening
of
“Precious"
on
November
1.
“I
didn"t
realize
you
really
have
to
be
selective
with
the
people
that
you
work
with
and
you
have
to
have
that
support
system
and
you
have
to
work
with
people
that
you
feel
are
geniuses.
“When
it
first
saw
the
film
I
thought
I
looked
hideous,
I
felt
completely
rancid.
I"ve
kind
of
gotten
over
it…
Have
I
gotten
over
it?" she
motioned
to
hubby
Nick
Cannon,
who
was
quick
to
disagree.
“Not
really,"
he
laughed,
shaking
his
head.
“But
the
performance
was
phenomenal.
I
love
her
in
every
look.
It"s
Mariah!"
he
said.
Carey
further
admitted
that
she
needed
a
break
from
the
fame
and
glamour
and
come
back
down
to
earth
and
look
a
little
“ordinary".
“This
was
such
a
liberating
experience
and
yet
humiliating.
But
I
needed
that," Carey
said.
“We
all
need
that,
we
need
to
understand
how
to
be
humble
and
it"s
a
difficult
business
to
do
that
in.
But
I"m
definitely
inspired
to
work
out
of
my
comfort
zone
after
this,"
she
added.
