DIVA Mariah Carey admits the failure of her 2001 movie Glitter almost killed her.
The singer says the panning from critics for her performance in the flick left her so distraught, she was hospitalized amid an emotional breakdown.
“Being here is definitely a milestone. But I had one milestone that almost had me under this stone,” Mariah told Fox News at the AFI screening of Precious on Sunday night.
“I didn’t realize you really have to be selective with the people that you work with and you have to have that support system and you have to work with people that you feel are geniuses.”
Of de-glamorizing in Precious, Mariah said, “When it first saw the film I thought I looked hideous, I felt completely rancid. I’ve kind of gotten over it… Have I gotten over it?”
“This was such a liberating experience and yet humiliating,” she added. “But I needed that.
“We all need that, we need to understand how to be humble and it’s a difficult business to do that in. But I’m definitely inspired to work out of my comfort zone after this.”
