She's taken some time out of the spotlight after her disastrous New Year's Eve performance.

And now it seems embattled singer Mariah Carey is turning to her ex-fiance, James Packer, to help her regain her career, according to claims made in NW magazine.

The magazine alleges that a close pal told NW that the 46-year-old singer has reached out to the Australian billionaire businessman and is 'filled with regret over James'.

Asking for help? Mariah Carey has allegedly reached out to her ex-fiance James Packer for help with her brand and business, following her disastrous Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve performance, according to a new report in NW magazine

'Filled with regret': According to a friend quoted in this week's NW magazine, claims the diva knows she drove away the billionaire businessman

'She knows she drove him away, but he's so powerful and knows how to run a successful business - and right now her business, which is 'Mariah Carey' is in trouble,' the source claimed to the magazine.

However, Mariah's representatives have told Daily Mail Australia the singer 'has not' been in touch with her ex-fiance or sought help from him.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for James Packer also said: 'There is no truth in the story.'

The magazine also quotes the friend saying that it was the performer's manager, Stella Bulochnikov, who suggested Mariah create drama with her man for the sake of the cameras.

'Everything went crazy when she started filming her reality TV show,' they said of Mariah's World.

Split: They then called off the wedding in October 2016, reportedly over pre-nuptial agreement disputes, though neither has spoken about those rumours

'Stella insisted she create drama with James for the show and he didn't think it was a good move for her,' they added.

It's previously been reported that Stella and James's different ideas about the singer and her career were part of the reason for the couple's split, after approximately 18 months together.

The couple first met at a film premiere in Aspen in 2014 but began dating in April 2015, getting engaged just eight months later in January 2016.

Despite the setbacks in her love life, Mariah's career appeared to be on the up-and-up following a residency in Las Vegas.

However, a lip-syncing fiasco during the Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve broadcast in December has appeared to threaten her success.

Before announcing her plans to take a break till her tour in March, Mariah said of the incident: 'my feelings are hurt, but I'm working through this.'

'Although I am going to fulfil my professional obligations, this is an important time for me to finally take a moment for myself and to deal with my loved ones and to prepare for my upcoming tour in March,' Mariah wrote on Twitter.

And now the singer is set to be sued by tour promoters for her cancelled South American concerts last year.

It's understood promoters in Chile are expected to lodge a lawsuit in a Los Angeles court in the next few days.

Mariah blamed 'promoter negligence' for the need to cancel shows in Brazil, Argentina and Chile last October and November.

But subsequent conflicting reports said she had cancelled performances in Buenos Aires, Santiago, and the Brazilian cities of Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre because she was upset overt her break-up with James

The move by the Chilean promoter could prompt similar legal action from its Buenos Aires-based parent company, according to the reports.
