Alison Carey (born 1 January 1962, Age: 61 years old) is the elder sister of the pop icon Mariah Carey, who has been in the spotlight for her troubled life and strained relationship with her famous sibling.

Early Life and Education

Alison claimed that her mother subjected her to horrific abuse and forced her to participate in satanic rituals when she was a child.

Alison dropped out of high school when she was 15 years old after she married a man named Richard McDonald and became pregnant with her first son, Shawn, who was born in 1977.
