'Former disgruntled employee's bitter comments': Mariah Carey's manager fires back at ex-choreographer who said singer 'doesn't give a f*ck'

Mariah Carey's manager has lashed out at a former choreographer after he put the singer on blast.

Stella Bulochnikov branded Anthony Burrell a 'disgruntled former employee' after he said the diva 'didn't give a f*ck' about her performances.

When asked about his comments, Stella told TooFab:  'Why don’t you come watch MC perform to sold out crowds three times a week for yourself and see what you think instead of giving a former disgruntled employee’s bitter comments life.'

Burrell and Carey parted way after her infamous New Year's Eve performance in New York was ruined by technical difficulties.

Her former creative director claimed Mariah has given up on live performances since then.

'It's just typical Mariah,' he said. 'Mariah is clear: when she doesn’t wanna do something, she doesn’t do it. She’s performing with lackluster and no fucks given, and it’s taking away her star.'

Burrell, who worked with Mariah for four years, appeared to try take credit for some of her previous success. 

'You're a legend,' Burrell said. 'But you don’t care, your team doesn’t care. They’re not guiding and directing her. She’s back to where she was before. It's not like she's never looked this bad before; I just stepped her game up.'

He even had a go at some of the creative team that replaced him: 'Some of the dancers her team hired are great dancers, but they’re not choreographers or creative directors.'

Indeed Burrell did concede  Mariah is a 'world-class artist' and 'a great person to work with.'

Mariah certainly gave zero f*cks about the criticism, as she shared a snap of herself and her adorable twins dressed as pirates as they enjoyed a cruise aboard a luxury yacht on Thursday.
