Mariah Carey has just released a new memoir and it seems no topic is off limits for the singer. The Always Be My Baby hitmaker, 50, opens up about cheating on her husband, going to rehab, domestic violence and her divorces in her new book The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which came out on Monday.

She married music producer Tommy Mottola when she was just 23-years-old and he was 43, and she claims he was controlling. During the marriage she kept a packed bag under her bed in case she needed to escape, she claims.
