National Enquirer Misrepresented Mariah Carey Miscarriage

Mariah Carey National Enquirer Nick Cannon

Gossip Cop got very concerned and upset when we saw the cover of the National Enquirer, which prominently declared, “Mariah Carey’s miscarriage drama.”

Then we read inside where the headline stated, “Mariah Carey’s Miscarriage Nightmare,” and reported how the singer “collapsed in tears after a miscarriage crisis” that left her “fearing she’d never have a baby.”

But when we read a little more, it said she actually just “had a heavier than normal period” and (thankfully) never, in fact, had a miscarriage. The Enquirer, in the second-to-last paragraph, called the events “a false alarm.”

How about a false report?

To reiterate, even the supermarket tab said that this was just her period. Period.

Shame on the National Enquirer for misleading readers into believing a tragic event occurred when it never did. The only miscarriage here is in this type of tabloid journalism.
