Mariah Carey Would Feel 'Violated' If She Had Kids

Mariah Carey has revealed that she would feel "violated" if she had children.

The aging diva says that events in her childhood have left her feeling uncomfortable with the idea of becoming a mother.

She told Britain's OK! magazine,  "I never wanted to feel violated and I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am. It's definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff.”

Instead, Mariah is content to look after her pet dog Jack for now - because they are on the same level intellectually.

"It's hard to have kids in this world. I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it," she adds.

“For now, I enjoy my dog Jack's company."
