Aaron Carter: Nick Carter RAPED a 91-Year-Old Woman!

From a distance, it’s difficult to discern what exactly is going on in the current feud between brothers and former pop stars Nick and Aaron Carter. But one thing we can say with absolute certainty is that the whole situation is incredibly sad and troubling. The trouble started last week when the elder Carter revealed that he had filed for a restraining order against his troubled brother, alleging that  Aaron threatened to kill Nick’s pregnant wife . “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today,” Nick tweeted. He added the hashtags “#mentalhealth #GunControlNow and #GunControl,” seemingly in response to Aaron’s allegedly massive collection of assault rifles. “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confessions that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family,” Nick later wrote. Aaron responded with a bizarre social media tirade, during which he claimed that he had been repeatedly raped by his late sister Leslie Carter while he was still a child. Now, he’s leveling similarly shocking allegations against Nick. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Aaron accuses Nick of violently raping an elderly woman. “Hey [FBI] my brother raped Mildred and told me in confidence in his pick up truck she was 91 years old and my brother told me he covered her mouth so no one could hear her scream,” he wrote. “Put me on a polygraph machine please [FBI] my mother knows she was taking care of two elderly women who were on hospice Mildred and opal who my mother was keeping alive,” the 31-year-old continued. “[FBI] what are you gonna do about that!? NOTHING! ? “I’m REPORTING A RAPE FROM NICK ON SN ELDERLY WOMEN WHO WAS DYING AND WAS 91 that he raped. Strap nick up to a polygraph machine and a really good one please.” No word yet on whether or not there’s been any sort of law enforcement response to Aaron’s allegations. But needless to say, these are very tense times in the Carter family, particularly if Aaron is as unhinged as insiders claim. “Nick has beefed up security. There is definite concern for Lauren [Nick’s pregnant wife] and this situation has been very stressful for her,” a source close to the situation tells Us Weekly. “She’s very close to her due date but because of what happened previously with her pregnancies and the stress, they just want the baby to get here safely and there is concern that because of the stress she will go into early labor.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Nick Carter: Aaron Carter Threatened to Murder My Pregnant Wife!

Things have been bad between Aaron Carter and Nick Carter for years, but this is the worst that it’s ever been. After Nick served Aaron with a restraining order, he claimed that Aaron had threatened the life of his pregnant wife. Aaron tells a different story — that Nick is trying to gaslight and discredit him because he sided with Nick’s #MeToo accusers. Aaron Carter, who is known for being very active on social media, took to Twitter on Tuesday with a startling revelation. “So my brother just got a a restraining order against me,” Aaron writes. His brother is Nick Carter, of the Backstreet Boys . “And,” Aaron reveals. “I was just served lol.” “Take care.@nickcarter. we’re done for life,” he assures his older brother. “I haven’t seen him in four years,” Aaron tells his fans and followers. “And I don’t intend.” After Aaron exposed what he had done, Nick took to Instagram to use the infamous Notes App to try to explain. “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today.” “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior,” his message continues. “And,” Nick writes. “His recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child.” That accusation sounds terrifying. Nick explains: “we were left with no choice but to take away every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family.” “We love our brother,” he emphasizes. “And truly hope he gets the proper treatment he needs.” Nick concludes by saying that he hopes that this takes place “before any harm comes to himself or anyone else.” Aaron is enjoined from approaching his siblings, his sister-in-law, or specifically their home in Vegas. Given that Aaron was posting just weeks ago about his firearms collection, a lot of Nick’s fans share his worries. But Aaron tells a very different story. “I am astounded at the accusations being made against me,” Aaron’s tweet begins. He continues: “And I do not wish harm to anyone, especially my family.” “I never threatened anyone,” Aaron declares. “I’m appalled by this and don’t ever wish to speak to them again.” “They’re trying to 5150 me,” he accuses. “My brother called me a month ago and told me to ‘stay off of Instagram live.'” A 5150 is an involuntary psychological hold, used for people who appear to be a threat to themselves or others. “All I ask is for my family to leave me alone,” Aaron expresses. “This is blood. Not love.” “I will never be around you and I don’t want to be around you,” he assures his big brother. Aaron exclaims: “I am the one who said I’m done then you send me this!? Ok.” “Stop trying to get me 5150’d before I file a harassment suit myself nick,” he warns. “I have the $.” Now, police have visited Aaron recently at his home. Reports have said that there were concerns about his large collection of guns, given his history of friends calling in welfare checks on him. There were even reports that some in law enforcement were concerned enough to want to 5150 him. Aaron may hold Nick responsible. When one of Aaron’s fans urged him to keep this family feud private, and to not wage it on Twitter, Aaron did not agree. “They were private,” he notes. “Until my bro filed a restraining order just because I live streamed with one of his accusers” TMZ reports that there will be a hearing for a permanent restraining order on October 16. Aaron makes repeated reference to Nick Carter being accused of rape by a number of women.  Now, we know from Aaron’s appearance on The Doctors that it appears that he is on a lot of meds for a lot of different conditions. Just months ago, the world heard Aaron threaten a Michael Jackson accuser in a very public manner. And quite frankly, the sheer volume of tweets that Aaron put out between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning is absolutely bonkers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that Aaron made the violent threats that Nick accuses him of leveling. Unfortunately, people with mental illness are often and easily blamed and framed, when they become inconvenient or when someone needs a scapegoat. We hate to even think about how many mentally ill witnesses to crimes were outright ignored because of other erratic behavior. Regardless, between Nick’s #MeToo accusers and Aaron’s history of troubled behavior and worrisome statements, it’s hard to side with either brother. Sometimes, in a family feud, everybody involved sucks. View Slideshow: 27 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness

Aaron Carter: Out of Rehab and 30 Pounds Heavier!

Just when you thought 2017 couldn’t get more eventful for Aaron Carter … Wishful thinking, huh? Throughout this year — specifically these past few months — Aaron has seemed to be on a terrifying downward spiral. So terrifying that when he made an appearance on The Doctors last month, those doctors advised him that if he didn’t go to rehab to get his drug use sorted , he’d die. His problems began (or at least we learned of the severity of his problems) in July, when he was arrested for a DUI and drug possession . He and his then-girlfriend, Madison Parker, had marijuana on them, and he was seen driving erratically, though he did refuse testing at the time of his arrest. After that, he felt the need to defend himself against what he said were false accusations, which resulted in an extremely emotional interview in which he revealed he suffers from an eating disorder and hates his appearance. Then in September, he was visited by police four times in less than two days. The visits were for welfare checks, as people close to Aaron had called in to report that he may be a danger to himself or others . A couple of weeks later, police were called to his home again, and though we never heard many details on that visit, it seems to have been yet another welfare check. Luckily, something seemed to click then for Aaron — after that, he went off to rehab . In a series of tweets he made just before checking in for treatment, he explained that “this year has been crazy and I need some time off from it all.” “Going to get strong,” he wrote, “and deal with my stress conditions and get better.” He said that he’d be gone for “a while,” and that he didn’t plan on returning to social media until 2018 at the earliest. But he’s baaaaaaack! Yep, after just two weeks of treatment, Aaron is back at home. And though that may be a little concerning — two weeks doesn’t sound like nearly long enough to address whatever it was that was troubling him — at least one good thing has come from his short time away. Check out this transformation: For the past few years, Aaron has gotten a whole lot of hate for his appearance . He was very thin, and lots of people speculated that his size was due to drug use. He’s insisted that he’s thin because of a hiatal hernia that makes it difficult to eat, in addition to that eating disorder we already discussed. But now he says he’s gone “from 115 to 145 in just three weeks” because he “needed some time to heal.” He gained 30 pounds in three weeks, and he seems pretty pleased about it! “Thank you to everyone who has continued to believe in me and stick by my side,” he tweeted after sharing the photo. “I will always aim to make you proud but this was for me.” It also looks like he got his appetite back — he shared this photo of himself and asked “What’s for dinner? I’ll make both”: As for his abrupt departure from rehab, his rep made a statement explaining that “Several legal and personal matters arose that required his immediate in person attention.” “He is still very much committed to his wellness and will be continually working toward being the best possible person.” We hope for his sake that that’s the case. After the year he’s had, Aaron Carter sure could use a win. View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab

Aaron Carter FINALLY Checks into Rehab!

Great news — Aaron Carter is currently in rehab! Sure, it would have been better news if had happened months ago, before his DUI arrest and very public meltdown. But still, this is a wonderful development, and we should all be very, very proud of this guy. If you pay even the tiniest bit of attention to celebrity gossip — which obviously you do, otherwise why would you be here? — you know that Aaron’s had a tough time lately. There was that previously mentioned DUI arrest that happened back in July . He was also charged with drug possession then. After the arrest, he gave seriously intimate interviews about his life, including details about his poor health and his eating disorder . This month, police have visited him multiple times on welfare checks — people have been calling and calling authorities out of concern that he’d kill himself or hurt someone else. Some of the calls, which were recently released, claimed that he suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia , and that he’d been talking about purchasing a gun. He also made an appearance on The Doctors this month, and during the interview he was told by those doctors that if he doesn’t go to rehab soon, he could die . So thank goodness for this statement Aaron’s rep made on Friday: Aaron has decided to enter a facility to improve his health and work on his overall wellness. He is going to do this privately and focus all his attention on being the best person and performer possible. He is grateful for the support and love from his fans and looks forward to coming back stronger than ever before. Shortly after the statement was released, Aaron himself hopped on Twitter to further explain things. “Only I can change my life,” he wrote. “No one can do it for me.” “I would like to tell all of you that I will be disappearing for a while to work on myself,” he told fans, adding that though he’d be “disappearing,” he still had plans to release new music this fall. “My stressors haven’t subsided with family and this year has been crazy and I need some time off from it all.” “Going to get strong,” he wrote. “And deal with my stress conditions and get better.” In additional tweets, he said that he wasn’t planning on using social media again until next year because he’s “taking a break from this sh-t.” “And FYI,” he continued, “MY FAMILY has nothing to do with this. I’ve actually had to cut them all off unfortunately and it’s gonna stay that way.” “We can talk about this when I’m done taking care of myself. That goes to everyone especially the medias. I’m gonna have a lot to say. Thanks.” View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab Aaron wrote that he is “strong,” and “that’s why I made this decision. No one could’ve forced me. None of you even know my reasons for this. It’s called stress.” “It’s time to say goodbye,” he finished. “I think goodbyes are sad and I’d much rather say hello. Hello t a new adventure and a stress free life.” Here’s hoping that whatever is troubling him gets better soon.

Molly Roloff and Joel Silvius: Married!

It’s been a big year so far for the stars of Little People, Big World! Back in May, Zach and Tori welcomed their first child, the painfully adorable Jackson , and Audrey and Jeremy are expecting their first child in less than a month. The family is obviously very busy this summer, but now one big event is over and done … That event, of course, being Molly Roloff’s wedding to Joel Silvius! The adorable couple got married yesterday on the Roloff family farm in Oregon — specifically, they got married at Molly’s favorite spot on the farm. And since they were already on the farm, you know some of the family’s goats were in attendance! The wedding is being described as “intimate,” with only family and close friends there to celebrate. In a statement to People, the brand new husband and wife said “We feel blessed to have been able to celebrate our marriage surrounded by so many people we love.” We don’t know many more details about the wedding — after all, Molly is probably the most private member of the Roloff clan. If she rarely appears on the show, it makes sense that she wouldn’t publicize every single detail of such a big event. But we do know that the couple had their first dance to a Ray LaMontagne song, “You Are the Best Thing.” And that Molly’s mother, Amy, was very, very excited for her only daughter’s big day! “She got married!” she wrote in an Instagram post. “A beautiful wedding, most gorgeous bride and tears laughing smiles and a lot of love.” “Couldn’t be happier for Joel and Molly (my baby girl).” But it was Matt Roloff’s lengthy Facebook post about the occasion that will really get the tears flowing … “Well … we gave away our amazing Molly Jo,” he wrote. “The most gorgeous bride ever! To her New husband Joel today.” “Molly is the apple of her mother and MY eyes … Amy and I are gushing with pride of her character, faith, heart for God, wisdom and judgment… especially her choice in picking her life mate.” Matt explained that “Molly lives her life straight ahead (we daddy daughtered danced that song from Amy Grant tonight).” “Her guests strolled through a stunning wildflower patch that had been rolled down a path in the minutes before the ceremony so the guests could make the walk as if they were floating on a rainbow of colors as they walked to the ceremony area …” “Set deep in a grove under several 100 yr old oak trees that Molly played on as a little girl.” And if that wasn’t lovely enough, he added that “The guests sat on custom made rustic benches specifically designed and build on Roloff farm to match the intimate setting.” He also said that “Molly and I were able to spend 20 minutes of quality time visiting and sharing our love as father and daughter as we pulled up to the ceremony in one of our special Roloff farm all terrain rigs.” “I then escorted my dear Molly down a rustic wood chip path to hand her off to Joel. Waiting patiently to take her hand in marriage.” Then, “After several biblical scriptures were read they exchanged private vows and commitments to each other. They kissed and we all erupted in celebration and joy.” “It was an amazing wedding day that went off without a single hitch,” Matt concluded. “It was a magical fairy-tale wedding for 2 incredible people that we all love very much.” Sounds absolutely magical, doesn’t it? Congrats, Molly and Joel! View Slideshow: Molly Roloff Celebrates Bridal Shower: Kiss the Miss Goodbye! [Photos]

Aaron Carter Comes Out: I’m Bisexual and I’m Not Ashamed!

Aaron Carter is not holding back. Not that he ever has, right? Aaron’s always been exceedingly open about his experiences and his emotions — almost to a fault. Remember a few years ago when he refused to stop talking about his teenage romance with Hilary Duff and how much he still loved her after all this time? More recently, he’s been vocal about his health problems, including a hernia that he says makes it very hard for him to put on any weight. He’s also said that he suffers from an eating disorder , and that he hates what he sees when he looks in the mirror. On top of all that, he was arrested last month in Georgia for a DUI — or technically for refusing to submit to testing for a DUI. He insists that he’s innocent, and that any reckless driving was due to the tires on his car being messed up, but the arrest didn’t help rumors that his thin appearance is due to a drug addiction. Basically, it’s been a tough few years for Aaron, but he’s still ticking. And last night, he felt moved to make yet another revelation. In a note he posted to Twitter, he wrote “To start off, I would like to say that I love each and EVERY ONE of my fans.” “There’s something I’d like to say that I feel is important for myself and my identity that has been weighing on my chest for nearly half of my life.” “This doesn’t bring my shame,” he explained, “just a weight and burden I have held onto for a long time that I would like lifted off me.” “I grew up in this entertainment industry at a very young age and when I was around 13-years-old I started to find boys and girls attractive.” “There were years that went by that I thought about,” he continued, “but it wasn’t until I was 17-years-old, after a few relationships with girls, I had an experience with a male that I had an attraction to who I also worked with and grew up with.” And so there you have it — Aaron is bisexual, and he wants us all to know. Good for him, right? “To me music has always been my temple,” he concluded his statement. “Music will ALWAYS be what transcends us and myself. The studio has always been my safe haven.” “But the ultimate goal for me is to be satisfied. I never want to be a figure of disappointment.” He added a Boy George quote he said he felt summed it all up the best: “I’ve never felt as though I didn’t belong, I just acted as though I did.” It’s unclear if Aaron thinks this new information will disappoint his fans or if he’s speaking more broadly about his life, but of course the majority of people won’t look down on him for this. In fact, we feel pretty comfortable saying that each and every one of his fans would want him to do whatever it is that makes him happy — especially since he’s seemed so very, very sad lately . Just be happy, Aaron. View Slideshow: 35 Bisexual Celebrities

Aaron Carter After Arrest: I Don’t Need Nick Carter’s Fake Support!

It looks like “Aaron’s Party” is officially over, since Aaron Carter was arrested and charged with a DUI and drug possession . Though, if we’re being honest, Aaron’s life hasn’t been going so well lately, anyway. Now, following his arrest, he’s getting into very public conflict with his older brother, Nick Carter. And, maybe worse, the way that he looks in his mugshot has people so, so worried. He’s almost unrecognizable. Do you see what we mean? Aaron Carter does not look his age, and that is not a compliment. It’s not even an insult — just a statement of fact. (And, for those of us who enjoyed “Aaron’s Party” and a few other of his songs back in middle school, a statement of concern) Like, mugshot photos don’t show anyone at their best, and we get that. But Aaron’s booking photo makes him look like a man is his forties. And not like, a well-preserved suburban dad who makes more than a few people’s DILF lists. He looks like his life has been hard on his body and hard on his mind and soul. Aaron is 29 years old and we are worried . We know that Aaron Carter has health issues , but we don’t care how skinny he is — this is something more serious than that. Honestly, many people have suspected that these are the results of years of hard drug use. (And we don’t mean the marijuana of which he was allegedly in possession) We’d say that maybe he’ll reach out to his family, but … it looks like that’s not happening. After Aaron’s arrest for DUI refusal (technically he just refused to take the breathalyzer test, but, in the eyes of the law, that’s about the same as refusing to take a test in school — he failed) and possessing a small amount of marijuana (which is still a crime in Georgia), Nick reached out to him. And, in case anyone somehow forgot, we definitely mean his very famous brother, Nick Carter.  Nick Carter posted a very public message on Twitter: “To my brother: I love u no matter what & if u feel the need to reach for help, I am here and willing to help you get better. Family isn’t always easy, [but] we’re all here for you.” That looks sweet and supportive, right? Nick Carter was arrested himself in 2016 for a saloon brawl in Florida, because apparently bar fights are real things that still happen. (Though, this was Florida and also 2016 was an accursed hell-year when murderous clowns were an epidemic, so … we don’t know what to tell you) But apparently Aaron Carter didn’t find that sweet or touching or supportive at all. In fact, he went off on his brother … also in a very public way. Aaron’s response, though public, focused on the fact that Nick’s response was also public. “If my own blood (Nick) truly cared about my well-being, why wouldn’t he call me directly and have a conversation instead of making this about him through a very public forum?” That’s a good question. Although … we don’t know what things are like between these two, you know? “That’s not cool at all to use me for his PR and kick me while I am down,” Aaron’s statement concluded. We don’t know that Nick’s tweet really qualifies as a blatant PR grab. He wasn’t like “Sorry that Aaron’s doing bad … I’d be happy to take my time off from [Current Project], which fans will love, to come see him.” Like, they’re Carters, not Kardashians who push products while their brother goes to court . In fact, maybe Nick knows that Aaron “blows up” like this, and was leery of contacting him personally and getting a different hostile response. Some people are just hard to talk to. Aaron’s representative put out a statement. Aaron has a license for medical marijuana — though that likely doesn’t mean anything in George courts. (It’ll probably be years before the whole country stops putting people in jail for having pieces of a naughty plant ) He also accuses law enforcement of targeting Aaron because of his celebrity status. Because it was just days earlier that Aaron was mocking Shia Labeouf’s infamous arrest and flaunting that he himself “has no DUIs,” he looks like a huge hypocrite. And, given Aaron Carter’s inexplicable support for Trump last year, it’s harder to feel sorry for him. He has some issues to work out.

Aaron Carter Attacks Body Shamers, Ends Up in Hospital

The worst week of Aaron Carter’s life has concluded with him in the hospital. On Thursday night, the singer went off on a Tweet storm in response to the influx of body-shaming he’s unfortunately experienced of late. The artist jumped on his social media account following a concert in Syracuse that evening, during which he overheard fans making fun of his gaunt figure. (Carter opened up last month about his diagnosis of a hiatal hernia at the age of 19, saying the medical condition makes it difficult for him to eat.) “I’m entirely hurt by a so-called fan that I just encountered,” Carter wrote on Twitter, explaining in further detail: “She wasn’t realizing I was listening, she said I look like I have cancer. This is body shaming. You guys are bullying me. I’ve already addressed my medical issues.” The singer added the hashtag “#bodyshaming” to his message. Not long after sending this Tweet, Carter provided followers with an update of his condition – and his whereabouts. “Lots of shows lately, had to head up to ER just to get a little check up these shows are crazy lately gotta make sure I stay strong,” wrote Carter as a caption to the photo above. He added another image of himself in a wheelchair and added: “I’ll recover.” Just a few weeks ago, Carter’s dad passed away . This tragic event took place five years after his sister, Leslie Carter, died of a drug overdose at age 25. The star referenced these sad developments in a follow-up Tweet, writing: “I’ve literally had the hardest week of my life, my dad past [sic] away my late sisters birthday anniversary was June 6th & people #BodyShame me… “I promise I’ll work on getting bigger physically I have medical issues I don’t want to discuss at this time. #GodBless.” Carter’s diatribe continued throughout Thursday night and into most of Friday, as he re-Tweeted thoughts from supporters and shot back at others who questioned his weight. “I’m sorry I’m not fat enough. For my fake fans,” he said. “I’m sorry I’m not good enough or heavy enough to be attractive… I’m bullied and body shamed by the world… They literally won’t stop bullying me… “They won’t leave me alone. I’m getting hate messages and death threats.” Continued the angry and upset singer: “Been in the hospital three times this month, dealing with health issues and broken fingers as well as things I can’t legally discuss. “Do I have to do a spinal tap to prove to people? They’re trolling me and causing me so much insecurities.” View Slideshow: 29 Stars Who Shamed Their Body-Shamers At times, Carter did appear hopeful. He tried to remain upbeat. “I’m not ashamed of my body,” he wrote on Instagram. “Maybe I’m too skinny, maybe I’m too short but the one thing I know is I love my fans my family my girlfriend and my friends. I’m #NotPerfect you never know what someone is going through. “We are not immortal. #embracelove… “All I can do is my best in my life with the conditions I have I need to stay strong, I’m so grateful for my fans, YOU mean the world to me. “Progress is better than perfection. It’s OK to be on a self-love journey, so don’t beat yourself up if u have yet to reach your destination.” Finally, on Friday, Carter shared the following picture: “My appetite is coming back,” he wrote. “#StayingPositive.” We’re glad to hear it! Hang in there, Aaron. Ignore the haters, man.

Bob Carter Dies; Father of Nick & Aaron Carter Was 65

Bob Carter, the father of former pop stars Nick and Aaron Carter, has reportedly passed away. He was 65 years old. Sources close to the Carter family tell TMZ that Bob passed away in Florida on Tuesday night. No cause of death has been revealed, but it appears that the Carter’s passing was unexpected. In a tweet that’s since been deleted, Aaron stated that his father had been found unconscious in the hours before his death. In addition to raising two of the best-known pop stars of the late ’90s and early 2000s, Bob appeared in his sons’ reality show, House of Carters. The show, which ran for one season on E! in 2006, also featured Bob’s other three children, Leslie, Angel and Bobbie. Sadly, the Carters were unable to maintain their popularity, and both brothers wound up as tabloid staples during their respective downward spirals. Aaron Carter filed for bankruptcy and checked into rehab during a dark 18 month time period that started in 2011. These days, he’s reportedly sober, but still far from being back on his feet financially. For his part, former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter hasn’t fallen quite as far, but he’s had own struggles with substance abuse and the law. Last year, Nick was arrested after getting involved in a bar brawl in Florida. Bob’s death is just the latest sad chapter in the Carter family saga. Nick and Aaron’s sister Leslie Carter passed away in 2012. Both singers paid tribute to their father on social media today. “I am heartbroken to share the news that our father, Robert, passed away last night…” Nick tweeted moments ago. “While we learn more about the cause of death, and begin the grieving process, we ask that our privacy be respected at this difficult time.” “My heart is completely shattered,” Aaron, 29, tweeted. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam “I’m in shock and I loved my dad so much. #RIP DADDY I Love You.” In an Instagram post, he added, “My heart is broken. We are so hurt we lost you poppa way too soon. You were never human to me, you were always my real life super hero.”
