On Wednesday evening, Nick Cannon opened up regarding Twitter rumors swirling around his marriage since he confirmed that he and singer Mariah Carey had separated.
Cannon, who has been silent on social media for quite some time, stated:
I have personally been absent from social media for the past few months for obvious reasons but I feel the need to finally speak up...
During this challenging time for me and my family it saddens me that the media can be such evil bottom feeders...
Because my family & I haven't been forthcoming with personal information, people are quick to paint negative pictures and spread rumours
For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage.
Cannon reportedly said there was "trouble in paradise," — but now he says he never used the words.
He continued on Twitter for a while, asking for people to respect his family, and he professed his love for his wife:
So whatever your favorite gossip outlet is reporting has been created within their own imagination...
At this difficult time I would ask all civilized people to please respect my family and this process...
What infuriates me most is to hear people slander @MariahCarey . I will forever be in debted to her for blessing me with our children...
I will always love her unconditionally for this and so much more. @MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her wholeheartedly...
So to see false reports in the media stating otherwise is absurd! While I would like to remain silent I can no longer allow this to happen.
I love @MariahCareyਊnd that will never change!!!
