Get Well Soon: Mariah Carey ‘Fine’ After Shoulder Injury, Broken Rib

Posted byBy Tracy | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Mariah Carey was hospitalized late Sunday in New York after suffering multiple injuries on the set of a video shoot.

Carey and husband, Nick Cannon—who is directing the video, were filming the scenes for a remix of her song “#Beautiful” with rapper Young Jeezy.

New York Post reported,

“Mariah, 40, was filming the video in NYC at Avenue and Artichoke Pizza in Chelsea. She was taken to a hospital in the Upper East Side for special surgery. The accident may have been due to Mariah taking a tumble in her heels.”

Reps for the Grammy-winning artist told HollywoodLife.com,

“Mariah injured herself while filming a video with Jeezy for the remix of #Beautiful, directed by her husband Nick Cannon. She was taken to hospital late last night, where doctors reset her shoulder. She is fine.”

Nick Cannon elaborated on the injuries on the Today show earlier this morning, “It was pretty serious. Not only did she dislocate her shoulder, she actually cracked a rib and …..she chipped her shoulder bone.”

Cannon added, however, that Carey refused to let him join her in the hospital. “She’s a trooper. I was going to rush to the hospital with her, (but she said) ‘You get back in here and finish that video!’ Then, after they put her shoulder back in place, bandaged her all up, she came back to the video early in the morning and finished out everything.”

Carey will perform Saturday with the New York Philharmonic on Central Park’s Great Lawn for the 2013 MLB All-Star Charity Concert to benefit Superstorm Sandy victims.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
