"There's the door" — That's pretty much what Mariah Carey told her former staff when she learned they didn't really have her back. The icon told TMZ exactly why she gave them the boot and she held no punches.

"I dismissed a mojority of my team because I discovered that they didn't have my best interests at heart," she said. "My new team, including manager Stella Bulochnikov are the top of the line in the entertainment business and more importantly in my life and I am now much more financially successful and more organized than in the past."

The "One Sweet Day" songstress put to rest those rumors that, last month, her ex-staffers quit. She says, in fact, she was the one to show them the door. One of her current reps also reports the singer has now put measures in place to ensure everyone on her team puts her interests ahead of their own.

From currently touring Europe to shooting her own musical documentary, it seems as the new plan's working pretty well.
