Mariah Carey is being sued for allegedly trying to skip out on a promised payment of $67,500 to a bunch of Christmas Choir singers in 2016.
The nonprofit Broadway Inspirational Voices (BIV) is taing her to a New York court, according to documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday.
BIV is claiming that the All I Want for Christmas hitmaker pulled out of her agreement with the choir just one week before the first show, according to Page Six.

According to papers filed with the Manhattan Supreme Court: ‘As a result BIV postponed plans to use the promised payments to fund a music program at an elementary school whose art program had been cut.’
All of BIV’s proceeds go to financially disadvantaged children in New York.
The Music Box artist had previously worked with the same group back in 2014 without any issues.

So BIV were happy to work with the diva again – but this time, there were problems.
They began when the songstress failed to pay a $4000 security deposit.
Shortly after that, Carey’s rep told the group Mariah had ‘decided to go in a different direction with the choir.’
And now the nonprofit is suing the Glitter actress for $67,500, plus damages.

Not that the lawsuit seems to have slowed down the mother of two. She recently took to Instagram to post a snap of herself performing at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors show.
Wearing an eye-popping, cleavage-enhancing gold top, the One Sweet Day singer seemed to be perched atop a gold jetski onstage at the show.
She captioned one of the posts: ‘Thank you @vh1 for honoring me at #HipHopHonors. Tune in tonight at 9/8c to watch my performance with these amazing collaborators!’
