UGH!!! I hate that she LIES!!!! - caught the beginning of the E True Hollywood Story!!!

I'm sure that you all know that she is from LI...well I grew up in the same town...my sister was a school year behind her...
My sister was born Feb 1970...and Mariah claims that she was born March 1970!!! that is impossible!!!

and to make things interesting...here is the story my sister tells...they had art together (mixed grades)...someone asked her what year she was born and she said 1970...well everyone knew that was impossible...being her grade...and she told them that she didn't want to be associated with the 60s!!!????

Ok...so why am I freaking out about this? well I was a little younger...and when she first made it big she told everyone that she grew up in Brooklyn!! Newsday called her on her lies...then she decided that she needed to use the bathroom and pulled into the HS in her LIMO (why would you stop in the HS to go to the bathroom?) - well b/c of the lies...she was not liked at all by the students in my school...and the entrance of the school walks into the cafeteria...and people started throwing food at her...

it doesn't end there...I just heard (which really upset me) on THS that she was not accepted in school b/c she was mixed race!!!!! WTF!!! I grew up in a pretty racially/ethnically mixed area...there was every race AND religion AND ethnicity in my school...WHy would she say these things about my town? and specifically my peers?!!! especially since I remember my sister raving about her voice in jr high...I know we are all self conscious growing up...but why do we have to publicly denounce a town and the people in it??!!!

SO I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT SHE WAS BORN IN 1969 NOT 1970!!!!!!!!!!!

**rant over**

PS...I do like a lot her stuff...just POed

was the low income housing going to be on Pulaski and Elwood? I think I remember that...

I'm class of 92 btw... I went out for a run...and feel much better...

I didn't get too far out of the Harborfields area...just to Northport (for the $.99 movies!!! ) and to Huntington Village...

my mom even banned the Elwood theater when she found out Utopia was there...

I was in some shock when I went to college and found out that certain groups didn't like each other...

I'm so confused. I thought she grew up in Merrick.

And maybe she skipped a grade when she was younger? OK that's weak but why would she lie about her age?

I can remember growing up neighbors passing around petitions about blacks in the area, housing, etc.

Seriously?! How far back was this?
I grew up on the North Shore in Nassau and never saw ANY of that! Maybe my town was a bit more accepting.....

Erica - you're too funny Enjoy that glass of wine

I grew up in East Northport and I remember petitions too!! I was the class of 79 so it was way early!!

no way...my history teacher actually said that she was one of the worst students he ever had...the only reason I have for her lying...is what she said to my sister...that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the 1960s...

I don't know about elementary school...but she was definitely in the Greenlawn/Centerport area from jr high to high school...
