When Mariah Carey was stopped outside a Los Angeles restaurant and asked about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded Venice wedding, she didn’t miss a beat. Her response? Just three perfectly poised words: “I wasn’t there.”

The video, which has now gone viral, shows Carey adjusting her oversized sunglasses with queen-like calm before gently shutting down any drama. When a photographer followed up, asking if she had even been invited, she coolly replied, “Oh, don’t turn this into that.” That was enough to ignite the internet — not with scandal, but with admiration.
Fans instantly compared the moment to her now-iconic “I don’t know her” line about Jennifer Lopez. TikTok and X lit up with users praising Mariah’s flawless delivery. One fan wrote, “She’s so classy, I love her,” while another quipped, “Queen is unbothered and just smiles.”
The reaction fits perfectly into the Mariah Carey universe — composed, slightly cryptic, always meme-worthy. And while many speculated on whether she snubbed the invitation or wasn’t on the guest list at all, Carey’s own words were simple and direct, avoiding gossip while giving her fans yet another iconic quote.

While the Bezos wedding buzz was making headlines, Mariah had her own projects simmering. The legendary diva is gearing up to release her 16th studio album, her first in over eight years, featuring what she described as “Mariah ballads and a summery second single.” Her team-up with the music company Gamma also marks a new chapter for the singer.
At 56, Carey is still dominating timelines — whether she’s dropping new music or dodging drama with a wink and a walk-off.
