Mariah Carey, 57, sparks concern after ‘struggling to walk’ in alarming new videos

Videos from Mariah Carey’s recent appearance in Brazil show her holding an assistant’s arm while walking over to greet fans, prompting concern on social media. The clips have led to speculation about her health, but they do not establish that she is injured or unwell.

In another clip, Carey also appears to walk slowly while holding the same assistant. Some fans suggested her heeled boots, uneven or slippery paving, rain or a slope could explain her careful steps. Her representative was contacted for comment; the article also recalls similar fan concerns about her movement during a Las Vegas show in February 2025.
