uploaded the wrong version of her song, “The Art of Letting Go.” Carrey took it upon herself to rant on Facebook about the mistake of the employee, why she didn’t catch it, and ultimately decided to leave the old version up in order to compare the two songs. In the rant she even admitted that, “"There's no doubt in my mind that this sounds like a self-absorbed diva on a 'woe-is-me' tangent,” (Eggenberger, 2013).
