Nearly a week after Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey's marital problems were made public, Cannon's father, James Cannon, has given the media an inside look on the couple's marriage breakdown.
James posted cryptic messages on his Facebook page that hinted at several reasons including lying, sex and weight gain, reported Radar Online. James wrote: "Here a thing to talk about if the wife love sex and the man can't stand making love to her. What should that women do?"
Adding: "Heres a thing, if the husband say no lies, and the wife lies all the time, what should that man do? Here a thing, if the wife put on 200 pounds and the husband like a nice slim wife what should that man do? If a husband tells his wife not to have an abortion, and she it anyways, what should that man do? Here a thing, if a husband wants to have ten children and his wife only wants two children then what should that man do?"
The posts have been deleted, according to Radar Online. James returned to Facebook to clarify the previous post, saying that they were not about his son or his son's wife, but rather excerpts from a Christian book he wrote in 2011 titled "The Calling."
James also targeted the second message at "small-minded people" who thought he "was talking about another man's business."
"I do not get into other [people's] business not even my own sons and I have of them that I love dearly," he clarified. "But [their] business is [their] business and [their] relationship is there [between] them and God. Please forgive me to those that may have misunderstood my question."
Nick's grandmother, Marie Cannon told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview, "I'm shocked, I'm just so shocked. I know it's possible it could happen. People break up. People have problems."
The comments come after claims that the "America's Got Talent" host left his wife because of her emotional state. Nick also confirmed that his six-year marriage was in trouble, after revealing that he and his wife have been living separately for months. He also shot down any rumors of infidelity.
The TV personality is also worried about their three-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.
"Nick has made it clear to all involved that he's deeply concerned about Mariah's emotional state and is ending the marriage for the well-being of their kids," a source told TMZ. "He believes the environment around Mariah is toxic and fears for his kids."
