Mariah Carey is sporting a painful injury after her hairstylist burnt the star with a curling iron.

The Hero hitmaker was being styled on Tuesday (13Jul10) when one of her assistants accidentally caught her with the hot tong. In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Just now hairstylist (who shall remain nameless) abused me w/a (with a) curling iron while trying to curl and dancing to my new song... ow. I'm searching for some aloe or whatever but it's not looking pretty... it's basically a welt... Oh the trials and tribulations (of) Divadom! Now he's all trying to put toothpaste on it and swears it's a home remedy, I'm like 'Stop crying, you're NOT fired'." (CL/WNTWT/ZN)

She writes, "Thank you all so much for your support but the matter is private and (I) will not be commenting, enough damage has already be (sic) done!" (ZN/WNWCHP&WNTWT/MT)
