Diva Mariah causing reality show drama

Cape Town – Mariah Carey is causing havoc behind the scenes of the filming of her new reality show for E! Entertainment, driving producers mad with her diva antics.

According to reports her upcoming reality show for E! (DStv 124) is already a disaster after just two weeks of filming, following her behind the scenes of her world tour for 8 hour-long episodes.

It will be shown on E! Entertainment on MultiChoice's DStv in South Africa as well as in 152 other countries, has cameras following her on her tour in the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and Africa while she's planning her wedding to the Australian business mogul, James Packer.

Mariah who demanded complete artistic control of the series that will be called Mariah’s World, refusing to call it a “reality” show and referring to it as a “documentary”, banned the cameras from filming her 4-year old twins Morocco and Monroe. 

Mariah has also been asking producers for a “script”. 

She also forgot to tell the producers that she doesn’t speak on the days that she does concerts, turning performance day filming into somewhat of “silent movie” days during her Sweet Fantasy Tour. 

Mariah only wants to be shot from the left side of her face, making it difficult for camera crews to capture what is happening all around her. Subjects in reality shows are also supposed to ignore the cameras around them, but according to reports Mariah keeps talking to them and the producers decided to just let it be.

Mariah wants her “docu-series” to be very classy, but it is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, also responsible for Keeping Up with the Kardashians
