<p>Amid the investigation of the The Ellen Show for allegations of fostering a hostile work environment, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=mariah+carey&;post_type=post">Mariah Carey</a> spoke with <a href="http://www.variety.com">Variety </a>and reflected on her 2008 visit.</p>
<p>While there, MC stated she felt “extremely uncomfortable,” after being put in a position to ultimately admit she was pregnant.</p>
<p>During that episode, Ellen challenged the singer to confirm or deny the pregnancy rumors by drinking (or not) a glass of champagne.</p>
<p>At first, Mariah attempted to laugh it off and said, “This is peer pressure,” but Ellen insisted that she have the glass of champagne anyway. When Carey faked like she was taking a sip, the host shouted, &#8220;You&#8217;re pregnant!&#8221;</p>
<p>In her interview with Variety, she stated, &#8220;&#8221;I was extremely uncomfortable with that moment is all I can say. And I really have had a hard time grappling with the aftermath,&#8221; Carey said.</p>
<p>In 2010, Mariah revealed she was pregnant but later suffered a miscarriage.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t ready to tell anyone because I had had a miscarriage,&#8221; Carey, who has appeared five more times on the show since the 2008 interview, told <em>Vulture</em>. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to throw anyone that&#8217;s already being thrown under any proverbial bus, but I didn&#8217;t enjoy that moment.&#8221;</p>
<p>As previously reported,</p>
