“Stella Bulochnikov was terminated from employment as Mariah’s manager due to failure to perform her job effectively and ill-serving her client. Stella was not under contract for employment,” Mariah’s rep told People in a statement at the time. “She has been spreading false rumors to any media outlet that will publish them. We won’t respond to lies and threats.”
