As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Mariah revealed during an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, that her son, Moroccan a.k.a. 'Rocky' (aged two at the time), spit upon a dress worn by the former First Lady, Michelle Obama.

Mariah recalled it being one of the most humiliating things that had ever happened to her.

"She (referring to Michelle Obama) was like, 'Thanks to you, I'll never be able to wear this dress again, Rocky. So thank you.'"
