    Alison’s pal David Baker gave the US Sun an insight into the siblings’ relationship, alleging the five-time Grammy winner “never tried to contact” Alison when she entered hospice care weeks before she passed away.

    “A phone call or, better still, a video call would have meant so much to Alison. But it never came,” Baker said.

    Baker claimed that Alison was “unhappy” that her younger sister “cut off contact with her” and didn’t try to reconcile.

    “She talked about it frequently. She wondered if Mariah or any of her relatives would come to her funeral,” he told the outlet.

    Mariah has another sibling, brother Morgan Carey, though he and the pop star are also estranged.

    The “Obsessed” singer got candid about her complicated relationship with her older siblings in her 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.”

    In the book, she alleged Alison struggled with alcohol addiction and her brother was physically abusive to their mom.

    The allegations led to Morgan and Alison suing Mariah for defamation .
