Tanaka’s Crush On Mariah Reaches Its Boiling Point

Bryan Tanaka and Mariah Carey have been teasing us all season on Mariah’s World with their obvious chemistry, and Tanaka has not been shy about wearing his heart on his sleeve. Stella Bulochnikov, Mariah’s manager, wasn’t having it and was eager to put the kibosh on this crush before it reached love-affair status. Mariah was, after all, engaged, but that didn’t seem to matter, especially when Mariah’s alter ego, Bianca, heated things up even more with a sexy outfit and a karaoke party. It seemed that a little liquid courage may have pushed Tanaka’s crush past the boiling point.

One too many drunken dance moves later and Tanaka’s ACL paid the price. Stella wanted to send this injured Romeo homeward bound, but Mariah decided out of the goodness of her heart to keep him on the tour. It seems Mariah might be enjoying the attention and a good scandal.

Mariah’s World airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on E.
