Some Justice: Kate Garroway slammed by bosses for unfairly slating Mariah Carey
Wed, Nov 25, 2009
Kate Garraway has been carpeted by GMTV bosses for unfairly slating Mariah Carey.
The show’s presenter not only got her facts wrong, but she was not even in the studios when the singer was interviewed by Lorraine Kelly. But Kate said in her magazine column that two minders carried Mariah into a chair to avoid creasing her dress and that she even brought her own loo roll.
Kate said: “I’ve heard rumours about her being a diva. Turns out it’s all true. While Mariah was nice, her entourage outnumbered the GMTV crew.”
But the claims were furiously denied by Mariah’s management and Kate, 42, has been ordered not to make that kind of mistake again.
Some GMTV staff fear her comments could affect their ability to get A-list guests on to their sofa in the mornings.
A source said: “What Kate claimed wasn’t true and it has caused big problems backstage.”
“The huge entourage was actually a choir and musicians used by Mariah. When stars come to be interviewed on GMTV they don’t expect this. Even worse, what Kate wrote wasn’t true.”
“Kate has been carpeted by bosses and told it cannot happen again. It looks bad for GMTV to be linked to these sort of comments about a guest.”
A source close to Kate added: “She was misinformed and is mortified by what has happened. She has apologised to Mariah and her bosses and will make amends in her column next week.”
Mariah Connection: Finally someone has done their job properly and apologised for the rude comments about Mariah! We can’t wait to see Kate’s apology next week! We won’t hold our breath for a similar apology from The Daily Mail, who have published nearly two weeks of utter rubbish & lies!

Well thank God, what a dunce that Kate Heifer is. Geez Mariah did such great promotion and did not deserve that kind of backstabbing. Fire that creepy Kate!

At least Llorraine Kelly wasn’t negative about Mariah this time. Maybe she saw the light.

Lorriane just can’t resist having another dig at Mariah. Sad lady!
“No one would argue that Mariah Carey is a diva. She’s earned the right, we all accept it. Mariah has too, which is why from time to time we hear about her ridiculous demands and it doesn’t surprise us one bit.”

I posted this was all rubbish when it first appeared on this site. Kate is an idiot and MC would be well within her rights to sue GMTV

It’s always people on GMTV that slate Mariah! EVERYONE else who interviews her in the UK always say that they expect her to be this huge diva with lots of demands etc. yet she turned out to be a lovely, down to earth, friendly person! I don’t get what the people at GMTV have agains her?! Lorraine and Kate have both have had a pop at our girl but I reckon that obnoxious bitch Fiona Phillips was the worst, thankfully she’s long gone now.
