Watch: Mariah Carey’s Iconic 3-Word Response to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding

Mariah Carey is shaking it off.

In fact, the Grammy winner didn’t even flinch after she was asked about her absence at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez‘s recent Venice nuptials, which boasted a star-studded guest list that included Kim Kardashian, LeonardoDiCaprio and Tom Brady.

When a paparazzo posed the question to Mariah as she stepped out to dinner in Los Angeles July 5, she simply adjusted her sunglasses and quipped back, “I wasn’t there.”

The 56-year-old went on to shut down speculation of a feud, telling the photographer after he asked if she had even received an invite from the couple, “Oh, don’t turn this into that.”

Her blunt response gave off a similar vibe to her iconic “I don’t know her” comment, which she uttered back in the early aughts when asked about Jennifer Lopez. And while GIFs of her remark have been used to throw shade online, the intention behind Mariah’s words is actually anything but snide.

“I really was trying to say something nice or say nothing at all,” she told Pitchfork in 2018. “I really was.”

As for how her four-word answer has since taken a life of its own? “It is what it is,” Mariah said. “You have to embrace it.”

For what it’s worth, J.Lo has also embraced the viral meme.

“I think she’s incredibly talented and I’ve always been a fan of hers,” Jennifer told Andy Cohen in 2014. “‘My All’ is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just love her. It saddens me to hear anything that’s negative because I’m a fan of hers.”

And when Wendy Williams joked about it during a 2016 interview, the “On the Floor” singer quipped back, “She’s forgetful, I guess!”

J.Lo added, “We’ve met many times. I don’t know her that well.”

Tan France vs. Bobby BerkBobby (pictured second from left) addressed rumors of a falling out with Tan (middle) in January 2024, two months after he announced his exit from Queer Eye after eight seasons.”I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,” he told Vanity Fair. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”In March 2024, Tan responded to allegations that he had campaigned to replace Bobby on Queer Eye with his friend Jeremiah Brent.”Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job,” he said on Instagram. “But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.”

It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. So I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken,” she continued. “That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged.”And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.
