Mariah Carey: having a child would leave me feeling violated

Mariah Carey has said she thinks she’ll feel “violated” if she has a child.

In an interview with the UK edition of OK magazine, the singer reiterated that she couldn’t cope with being a mum at the moment: “It’s hard to have kids in this world.”

“I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack’s company.”

“It’s definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby.”

“I never wanted to feel violated and I know that’s a kind of weird thing to say, but that’s how I am.”
