Where Are They Now? The Real Husbands And Notorious Exes Of The Hollywood Divas

Tommy Mottola

Way back in 1993, right after Mariah Carey had just started establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, she became romantically involved with and married her boss, Tommy Motolla. Motolla was of course the head of Sony (which is over Columbia Records) then. While things started smoothly, it was said that Mottola became very controlling of Carey, both in terms of the direction of her music and with her personal life and look. By ’97, the two separated and Carey’s music went straight hip-hop with the help of folks like Sean Combs, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and others. She started dressing sexier, went through a breakdown, but has had a comeback, a second marriage and Dem Babies over the last 12 years. As for Mottola, he’s gone on to re-marry too. He got booed up with singer Thalia and the two have two kids under their belt. He’s also left Sony, doing so in 2003. He’s currently trying to produce and develop TV shows and films, and he also bought out Casablanca records in the hopes of resurrecting it. Still the businessman.
