Is this normal behaviour between the incredibly rich and famous?

According to TMZ, Mariah - who is said to be keeping the $10million engagement ring James proposed to her with - wants a house in Los Angeles and allegedly blames James’ pal Tommy Davis for the demise in their relationship.

Tommy was the chief spokesperson of the Church of Scientology from 2005 to 201 and was apparently employed by James to help him stop spending so much.

A source close to the couple recently said: “Of course Mariah wants money, but she’s not getting $50 million. There’s no negotiations about money because they haven’t spoken since the split.

"He let her keep the ring, and she isn’t getting a cent more. It is ridiculous to claim that James is the reason for the cancellation of her South America tour. A few days ago she blamed it on the promoters.”

And Mariah was said to have been left “blindsided” when James called off their engagement.

Another source recently said: “The split has been devastating for Mariah. She loved James and was planning to marry him … She made life changes for this man to prepare for their future as husband and wife, even relocating to Los Angeles, at James’ request, so he could be closer to his children.

"Everything she has done over the past year is to prove how fully committed she is to their life together. She really wanted this to work. And then, completely out of the blue, it imploded.”
