According to her lawsuit, as a result, she is suffering from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The estranged sister of Mariah used to work as a prostitute once and is HIV positive.
The UK-based tabloid's report also suggested that Alison's friends insisted she is not after her superstar sister's fortune and revealed that she has lost all her teeth and now wants to pay and get them repaired. Her lawsuit sheds some more light on sordid details that the alleged victim is said to have witnessed during the 1970s.

In an interview with Daily Mail in 2018, Alison had also claimed that one of her family members used to take her to occult gatherings, early in the morning, where she was assaulted by 'cloaked worshippers'. Elaborating more about the same, she added saying some terrible things used to happen there and described it as things that a child should never see. The 57-year-old also stated that she was sexually assaulted there and they told her if she did not do what they told her to do, then they would harm her sister, Mariah.
She also claimed that the abuse carried on for several years. In her lawsuit, Alison stated that as a result of what she allegedly went through and witnessed, she has been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The pop icon's sister also revealed that it had put her on a downward spiral of drug abuse to suppress those sordid memories. Her suit states demands of compensatory money for immense physical and psychological damage, mental pain and 'intentional infliction of severe emotional distress'.
