Police received a 911 call from Carey’s mother, who was inside the home with the singer at the time of her breakdown.

“I was very disturbed and manic. She was yelling, breaking a bunch of objects,” says Carey’s brother, Morgan Carey.

“Mariah had literally reached rock bottom,” added Shapiro.

Hip hop producer and former boyfriend Damion “Damizza” Young rushed to be by her side and recalls her trying to jump out of a moving car.

“She didn’t feel safe anywhere,” said Young. “It was so bad to where I said, ‘You have to go to the hospital.’”

“Watching your best friend try to jump out of a moving car… it was bad,” says Young.
