Poor Mimi has been attacked by a former pal.
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has been the festive anthem since 1994.
But her smash’s cowriter, Walter Afanasieff, is anything but merry with her.

“We had a falling out,” Afanasieff said in an interview with Radio Times published on Tuesday, December 18.
“I would have hoped that in 20 years, she would have knocked on my door — but she hasn’t, so …”
“I was under an exclusive contract with him,” he explained, referencing the diva’s first husband, music executive Tommy Mottola.
“So, she left the building — she wasn’t even on the label anymore — but I couldn’t go and work with her because he wouldn’t let me,” Afanasieff claimed.
“So she found that to be a little bit of a slap in the face.”
“She doesn’t like to acknowledge other people,” he claimed.
“It seems to be a problem with singers. If you see a singer talking about something that they wrote, they will probably say, ‘I wrote the song when I was 12 years old, or here’s another song I wrote.’”
But how can you hate singer, with the co-writer adding, “I love Mariah Carey.”
“She’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go both ways.”
