Now that Rihanna has finally broken her silence about her domestic abuse at the hands of Chris Brown, Mariah Carey has come out to say she feels for the “Take a Bow” songstress.

In a recent interview, Ms. Carey told Larry King, “I was very sequestered, as you know, when I first started out and whether I were just allowed to be young and with a young boyfriend who’s plus a star and you know, you’re working and you’re both—I don’t know what goes on.  You know what I mean? So it’s like, I wasn’t really allowed out of the house, so I can’t

Mariah additionally explained that she has suffered from abuse as well- “Abuse has several categories. Emotionally, mentally, in other ways.  I just think you get into a situation and you feel locked in—whether your situation is similar to one of the situations I’ve been in, which I won’t harp on.”

“For me, to really get out, it was difficult considering there was a connection that was not only a marriage but a business thing where the person was in control of my life,” referring to Sony Music CEO/ex-husband Tommy Mottola.
