This story is literally breaking. Mariah Carey spoke to Barbara Walters this morning by phone, which aired on The View. Soon after, Nicki Minaj went on a twitter rant, which is still ongoing.
ETA: So Mariah Carey aired Idol dirty laundry and accused Nicki Minaj of threatening to shoot her on The View this morning. Nicki is furious. To be honest, I don’t blame her. But she’s making it worse by venting on twitter.
This very public catfight between two women is so UGLY to watch. It calls up too many awful sexist and racist stereotypes. ME NO LIKEY. It’s going to ruin the show. FIRE EVERYONE AND START FROM SCRATCH NIGEL.
From ABC News:

Here’s Nicki responding not only to Mariah, but to Idol producers as well. She’s REALLY pissed at Mariah. I’ll be adding the tweets as they appear.
