Social worker visits Carey, Cannon
A social worker paid a visit to new mom Mariah Carey's Los Angeles hospital room after they were alerted to possible drug and alcohol use, the singer's husband Nick Cannon revealed to CNN.
But, he says, the incident was a misunderstanding that someone attempted to use to their advantage to make a quick tabloid buck. Cannon says a nurse suggested that Carey drink a small amount of dark beer to promote milk production so that she could more easily breastfeed their newborn twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
"I guess someone maybe overheard that, and (thought) this is a good way to make a quick buck, or call the tabloids," Cannon explained to Piers Morgan last night. "It's kind of sad that people think that (they will) make money off of these newborns."
Cannon added that a social worker approached him in the hallway to explain that "they were here to see me because there had been allegations that there was drug and alcohol use, not only during the stay in the hospital."
But the entertainer rebuffs any accusations of wrongdoing on their part and says that they were simply following medical advice.
Cannon also revealed that people have come into the hospital posing as medical employees with the hope of snapping photos of the two-week-old babies, who remain in the NICU.
"I don't want to put pictures out there, but then when you think about the fact that, you know, you're going to have photographers and people going to these lengths to get pictures, it gets a little scary," he said. "So you have to figure out a way, like, all right, we got to give the public what they want. But then at the same time, you have to do it in a classy way, in a way that doesn't seem like we are out there parading our children out."
