Aaron Carter was my closest friend, 6 years of in person friendship (August 10th, 2013-August 9th-10th, 2019) & three years after of virtual friendship due to COVID. I sold his merch & did videography on tour, got to know the REAL Aaron Carter which even his (alive) family did not get to know when they should have been the closest people to him. I was closer to Aaron than those still here were. That’s why I’m stating all of this in this video.
This video was made to bring light to the reality we faced together along with other true friends of his. This is being shared to wake up people to what really went on in his life & who is to blame for the reactions the world seen play out. His life was a constant chain of cause & effect. Take away the causes, you would not have the effects that changed a very bright, good hearted human into someone the world viewed as dark & cold in the end of his life.
As someone who is straight edge, I never seen Aaron use drugs on tour, supposedly he “huffed” at home recreationally & would turn that off by touring before it became full fledged addiction. Looking back, COVID allowed what he went through at the end of his life to fully take hold.
I Never thought to have an in person conversation with someone clearly doing well being sober in front of me. He definitely would have moments at home I’d question if he used but nothing ever became for sure apparent until the last few years.
I also don’t count his rare stoner circles in the latter half of our friendship where he’d smoke marijuana with his friends/tour mates/fans after shows. He never popped pills/drank intoxicating amounts of alcohol/huffed on tour, he did take his prescriptions as prescribed on & off tour, even evidenced by his autopsy. He would go home to sometimes struggle or sometimes excel, even at times he was not comfortable or okay being at home he still did well. He always had myself & close friends a message or call away until everything went wrong in the span of a month & a half (August-September 2019).
The issue is, those who wish to spread a narrative that he was always mentally ill or always on drugs were not around to honestly have that account & is highly inaccurate of a diagnosis or assessment from people absent in his life. Even if they are “family” or “management”. The effects of what he was on at the end of his life when he finally hit his breaking point changed his personality very quickly & on a drastic level. The causes leading into the addiction taking hold (Bullying, abuse, family abandonment, then COVID locking him in to his home & away from his sobering tour life) need to be highlighted.
The bullying & false narratives being shared take away from real experiences real people had, like the fact I was introduced to someone by Aaron, that person was introduced as “This is my girlfriend”, said person is constantly bullied to this day & like Aaron, when you get attacked by hundreds of Bullies, you begin to say untrue off the wall things. Aaron’s story was brushed off due to the last 3 years when he said so much of this years before clean & sober.
He also had paranoia that was warranted. Even going back to liner notes of his album “Oh Aaron.” He had management who found him expendable & also a cash cow they could milk at every turn. Stalkers who came to his home, & people who attacked him at every turn.
His family & “management” (use that term loosely as the management was fired as stated in the video for good reason years ago) are benefitting by dragging his name through the mud & also enabling people under fake accounts to continue that narrative. I am attaching my name & my reputation on what I know to be true to hopefully provide a lasting positive result for his son. Results that clear his legacy & my conscience from what I have known & lived with since even before he left this world.
His new album is about to release as well as a documentary. I want to share reality before the fake stories or narratives appear again this week.
None of his family helped him when he needed it most. Before I met Aaron, Nick DID help send him to Betty Ford. However, when Aaron got out (better), Nick was nowhere to be found to even be thanked.
There are a lot of things said that need to be here in this video & I hope you take the time to ponder & research all I say.
These are my experiences & what I say is from my view. Everyone has their own beliefs, some shared with mine, some not. I will share mine shaped by real experiences which those spreading these “mentally ill” narratives about Aaron do not have the luxury to say the same. These are things I learned directly from the source that have been buried by fake accounts & fake people who claimed they wanted the best for Aaron yet never were around to give him their best. Even via a phone call.
Thank you for reading & I hope to make a difference in memory of Aaron Charles Carter.
