"It felt like an unsafe work environment," Mariah said. "Anytime anybody's reeling threats at somebody, you know, it's not appropriate."
The outspoken Nicki has not yet reacted to Mariah's interview, which aired today on Good Morning America.
Shortly after the alleged threat was made and video leaked online showing Nicki verbally fighting with Mariah, former judge Steven Tyler sid it was all for publicity.
