Mariah Carey has the most perfect diva complaint. We don’t disagree

All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is to look her best at all times.

In a clip from her appearance on iHeart Radio’s “Las Culturistas Podcast,” the superstar singer shared her aversion to lighting in public spaces, which she finds far from flattering.

“I can’t with the overhead lighting,” Carey said. “Why are they doing this to us? I shouldn’t say we, it’s not us, it’s me.

According to the legendary 55-year-old singer, “I am the one who is most tortured by the hideous lighting in elevators, doors, gyms.”

“I don’t go to the gym,” she added. I’m just saying.

“It’s hideous lighting,” she said. “The sun is good if it’s sunset, I’ll happily go out and put on a little hat or something and it will be pretty because the sun caresses your skin.”

Although sunlight, Carey pointed out, also has a downside.

“It’s bad for you, so you have to be careful,” she said. “But overhead lighting, I don’t think so, darling.”

And lest you think she wasn’t serious about her aversion to overhead lighting, Carey added one thing.

“It makes me sick,” she said.
