Carey and her manager, Benny Medina, were shocked to hear Aguilera slag her off and immediately responded.

"I had hoped that Christina was in a better place now than the last time I saw her, when she showed up uninvited at one of my parties and displayed questionable behavior," the duo e-mailed to Us Weekly.

"It is sad yet predictable that she would use my name to reinvent past incidents for her promotional gain. It is in my heart to forgive, and I will keep her in my prayers."
