(EW.com) — Mariah Carey is clarifying her feelings about working on Fox’s “American Idol.”
“Honestly, I hated it,” she said during a Hot 97 radio interview when asked about her time judging season 12 of the talent competition earlier this year along with Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and — most infamously and contentiously — Nicki Minaj.

“I was led to believe — I was the first person signed on,” Carey said (video below). “Heaven forbid I look like I’m saying something negative, but honestly I thought it was going to be a three-person panel. They gave me a nice dangling monetary moment. I was like, okay, Randy Jackson will be there, I’ve known him forever. This isn’t a big deal. This will be nothing. But it wasn’t that. It was like hell. It was like going to work every day in hell with Satan.”
So, yes. She apparently really despised being on Idol.
As Carey laughed and covered her eyes at her last comment, the host asked, “Really?” And then Carey added: “Nah, I’m just playing. It didn’t affect me that much.”
Oh, okay, she was pretty cool with it?
