In the wake of Mariah Carey's New Year's Eve fiasco, her ex-husband Tommy Mottola says she needs to surround herself with more professional people.

The diva blasted Dick Clark Productions for her disastrous performance on New Year's eve. She went to far as to claim it was deliberately sabotaged. I don't buy it.

Mottola is the former head of Sony Music. He and Carey married in 1993, and divorced in 1998. A report from pagesix.com quotes Mottola as saying the singer needs to find better people to manage her career.

“My only advice is that she should hire more seasoned and respected professionals to surround her and help her with her career! I would never have encouraged her or guided her to do something like a reality television show!!!!! I don’t get it!!”  - Tommy Mottola

Mariah's manager, Stella Bulochnikov, blasted Mottola, calling him a "relic."

For whatever my two cents is worth, I agree with Mottola.
