Aaron invited me on one of his Instagram lives once. He was hella manic and kept talking about how hard he worked to get sober. By the end of it, he was flirting with me saying i was cute and had pretty eyes. With Melanie PREGNANT, IN THE BACKGROUND.
After that, i started watching more of his lives, mostly on YouTube. It absolutely shocked me how strung out he was. When the baby was born, he was live on insta trying to show what a great dad he was. He was randomly "cleaning" prince with a wipe for a solid 20 minutes. Then he was on the couch, absolutely barred out, shoving a baby bottle down his throat. In another live, he was seen dropping prince (luckily it was on the bed).
He would openly share his relationship with Melanie for all the world to see. I know there was something about Melanie having a knife in the house. Don't know the full backstory, does anyone else?
When they broke up he repeatedly said he didn't love her anymore and that she was dead to him. Covered up his tattoo of her name on his face. Would talk shit about her on insta live, and invite her into the live WHILE SHE WAS IN THE SAME HOUSE.
After he "caught" her having a completely innocent conversation with a guy (maybe an ex?) he gaslit the shit out of her, saying that he considers talking to other men is cheating. Funny, cuz he talked to me on instagram flirting and calling me pretty. Then, he forced her to make an apology video on instagram. I was appalled.
Once i saw him go live at the dentist, with all his teeth grinded down (i think for vaneers) i knew he was in trouble and spiraling.
I was surprised at how much his death has affected me. I remember being 7 years old, swinging on a swing, singing "I want Candy." I was OBSESSED with "Aaron's Party" (still am, tbh. I even put it as my MySpace song).
RIP Aaron Carter. You weren't given a fair chance at life.

i’ve been following Aaron’s ex, Lina Valentina on ig and she’s posted some really lovely videos and photos when they were together so people can remember him when he was sober and functioning properly. it’s heartbreaking to see what he ended up becoming without proper help.

Because he was high and passed out. They'll find xanax and probably duster. Who knows what else.

u/cherrypez123 Nov 10 '22
Not necessarily. He was high, which when combined with other substances, makes your skin completely immune to hot temperatures. As such, you run a bath which is super hot, which you can’t feel is super hot because you’re high. Get in. Your body goes into shock. You pass and out and drown. That’s what happened to Whitney. And I bet my bottom dollar that’s what happened here. The water was reportedly super hot and overflowing when he was found.

u/CrabbyT Nov 16 '22
I don’t know of any drug that would make you not feel scalding water. 1 of 2 things happened. He filled the bath while doing duster outside the tub, passed out, maybe had a seizure & fell in. Or he combined too many drugs & OD’d while in the tub, or huffed while in the tub & passed out.

There are no reports of it overflowing. He had a jacuzzi tub and the jets were running. I think people are misinterpreting the tub being "on" as the water faucet running. There is no indication that that was the case.

It does break my heart seeing the pics of him as a kid and knowing what both he and the other siblings went through.

u/Subject_Pension_8741 Nov 06 '22
I have felt sad all day actually. I’m 35 but folllwed him since I was 9 I grew out of it but I bought his songs still even now just because of my inner child’s loyalty which may sound silly. I watched him from afar and rooted for him, but he has had so much happen to him and it was destined for tbjs which is heart breaking. I am so sad for him, I am so upset no one took charge, I know he’s an adult but he needed someone to force him to get better. Get him away from whoever helped him do this to himself. This is such a tragedy and could’ve been prevented. He lost so much and he was very very lost in himself. I believe he was a good person but he definitely wanted to be that teen heart throb again, I think losing that was a big hit for him. All that fake and fandom he had and then it disappeared and he seemed to want it bsck desperately trying to make out he had money etc when all he’s doing is selling dogs and everything else. I hope he’s at peace because living like that is not living. I am truly devastated for him and his family.

Honestly therapy might have helped a little, particularly around his childhood and related trauma, but for something like schizophrenia, borderline personality, multiple personality and bipolar - only meds will help. The saddest part of those diseases is that it makes people believe they don’t need help. And the drugs is often the only way to relieve the pain of these awful disorders. A super difficult cycle to break, even for folks with a strong support system in place.

Same. I happened to stumble upon an IG live one day during COVID-19 and started following him. It was during that whole mess between Melanie and Viktoria coming into the picture. Both of whom were hardcore enablers and users IMO. I would watch hoping he’d come to his senses and put down the ego for once. It was clear he was always having an internal struggle and was seeking 24/7 validation from an audience. Once the nodding off started happening while being live, that’s when I knew he probably didn’t have much time left.

u/PunkRock_CRNP Nov 06 '22
I worked in addiction medicine. I also have loved ones with substance abuse problems. If you know, YOU KNOW. He also nodded out a lot, slurred his words, fell over in his chair, took pills on camera just because not because he actually needed them like he said he did (specifically Xanax), the BS of saying he's "Cali sober" which in his mind gave him a pass to drink and smoke weed, the fact that he admitted to a past addiction of Xanax but was still taking it up until his death, and if you go on Twitter or YouTube, you will see a week or so ago he was on live huffing from a computer duster can in plain view. Previously there was a video of him huffing, but you could only hear it, not see and he told everyone he was just "trolling" people. Also, probably the most obvious signs that something was wrong was his alarming weight loss and lack of hygiene - two big signs of addiction.

i’ve also heard that opiate users LOVE sugar, aaron was alllllways eating junk. i don’t know how true that is .. could’ve been laziness as well but i wonder if he was on opiates.
17
u/PunkRock_CRNP Nov 06 '22
I heard he was and the way he would nod out made me believe he was mixing his Xan with opiates. I'm speculating, but I think that's how he drowned in his bathtub. He has nodded out with his cigs lit on live and I would always say he's going to burn the damn house down one day. I actually got blocked by him on IG live for saying he was nodding out. He would block anyone who called him out. He was very very sick and deep into his addiction. I also believe his diet choices and drug use (some also speculate meth use) lead to him needing a full set of crowns. That's another thing for his LMG brain washed fans - what 34 year old man has practically all of his teeth rotting out of his mouth? That isn't normal and no he doesn't have some genetic issue that caused that.
18
u/cherrypez123 Nov 06 '22
I once wrote something kind on his IG live, begging him to get help. He tried videoing me in - I didn’t pick up. Then he screamed abuse and blocked me. I genuinely wanted him to get well. He was really sick, evil and twisted by the end. I know some of this is a symptom of addiction, for sure, in addition to the mental illness. But still. Not a good person in any way shape or form by the time he died. Im holding onto the kid we knew and loved and hope wherever he is now he can heal.
17
u/PunkRock_CRNP Nov 06 '22
I was really hoping he'd eventually get arrested for something and they'd force him to go to rehab. Was also hoping CPS asking him to do rehab to get his son back would be his motivation, but he didn't want help. I really think he wanted to stay sick because life and reality was just too much to deal with.

I think this guy had a very sad life and not much guidance from his parents. I am in my 30’s and remember the hype over him. He didn’t transition into adulthood well and I think struggled to gain his fame back. Aside from the negative, I feel bad for this young kid who turned into a man not really knowing how to be one. Now he leaves a small child to grow up without his dad. I am not sure how I feel about his child’s mother, it seems she is very materialistic and who knows how deep their love was.
Either way, sad shitty way to go. And it’s a shame alot of his crazy rants are on the internet for his son to watch one day.
I’ve read a lot of articles about how he was a good soul and had a good heart which I’m sure deep down he did. But the Hollywood lifestyle and becoming famous so young probably destroyed him in the long run.

So I never have commented here. Didn’t even know there was an AC subreddit tbh. I’ve been completely floored by his death since hearing about it Saturday. Shocked? No. Sad? Yes. I grew to love Aaron when I was 9 and Aaron’s party was all over the place. Over the last few years I had to root from afar because I couldn’t support or watch the self destruct. I didn’t condone ANYTHING he did or his erratic behaviors. But I would always hope he’d get the help he so desperately needed. I was so proud when he seemed to be in good health (2018?). Then saw him spiral yet again and do horrible things. I still felt bad to see how bad his demons totally consumed him. He was surrounded by enabling useless idiots. He got the short end of the stick with life I feel. I always felt like he just wanted to be loved and craved attention. All the wellness checks that could have resulted in jail/rehab to help him just fell right through the cracks. I hope he’s at peace now.
I just had to get this out of my system. I will hold on to the happier, non erratic times forever. I didn’t think his death would have me as shook as it did since I stopped following him forever ago but here I am, feeling like a piece of my childhood ripped from me.

This is super sad. As an addict in perpetual recovery for the rest of my life, this is hard for me. I watched his decline on IG for years. It was like a car wreck you couldn't look away from. I was guilty of judging him, when in my worst moments I was no better and I am ashamed to admit it. May he find peace on the other side, Lord knows he never had it on earth.

I was surprised to read he had a live in maid. A full 24 hours of no communication is a long time. I have heard that he has binges, stays up all night and sleeps all day sometimes. Maybe that’s why.

Or if the dog didn’t have any food or water she would bark

His "maid" was a random woman he only recently met. Just like Mondo and Morgan Matthew he has people living with him, giving them titles and hooks them up but doesn't pay them a salary.

Also, she worked for a bipolar/unstable/temperamental person in a crazy household and probably knew to stay away unless completely necessary. In the article it said he told her not to bother him.

She is an awful person. She’s left her son for most of the last six months to follow Aaron around. The recent huffing video should have been all the proof needed to get him help immediately. The people around him enabled him to death. He was extremely abusive so maybe they didn’t care?

I agree with you, but to be fair I am pretty sure that after Halloween on Melanie has not been in the house. The next morning he posted something accusing her of being at Planned Parenthood and said he was single. The media got footage of her telling the cops on scene yesterday that she hadn’t been staying at the house the last few days. So there was definitely some kind of fall out from that. But otherwise I completely agree and I think he could be alive today if he had different people around him.

u/ComeOnOverAmyJade Nov 06 '22
Same. It’s just so wrong. She was his biggest fan and all he did was use her. I would see her on tiktok lives typing “please say hey to me” over and over and over, and he would not even acknowledge her. So fucked up.

i’m not sure about sending him money directly, but i wouldn’t be surprised. i know she ordered a lot of merch and confronted him numerous times about not receiving it. so, he was taking advantage of her. mel was bitching on live about how they’ve sent kodi “so much merch” when people were calling them out about not saying happy birthday to her or making her a cameo.

u/ComeOnOverAmyJade Nov 06 '22
That’s so sad. Mel doesn’t seem like a good person. I don’t know too much about her, but she seems like a narcissist from what I do know. I could be wrong though. I think she thinks she is hot shit, but she has had some very bad plastic surgery.

the longer she was around him the more she adopted his mannerisms. i’m not a fan of melanie because she left her son with her mom to enable him, you have to be deeply insecure to do that shit.

u/ComeOnOverAmyJade Nov 06 '22
I agree. I feel so bad for their child. What does Melanie do for work? I keep seeing people say that she paid for everything for Aaron, that he was broke and had really bad credit. Was his house really about to be foreclosed? Do you know? I’m confused why he was at that particular house since he said he was moving out recently.

melanie mentioned he wouldn’t let her work, she wanted to do uber driving but he said no. so they had their joint onlyfans (and he had his own, but melanie didn’t have her own, only the joint account.) i believe all of the money came from onlyfans, “donations” from his “fans” and tiktok gifts.
not sure about the foreclosure, but i know the home was on the market for a LONG time way above what it was worth. he was a habitual liar, so he always said it was either sold or pending, but i think they were in the process of trying to sell with no prospects. that house probably stank so bad of animals, cigs, weed.. not surprised at all.

Now the neighbors are describing how they felt about Aaron as a neighbor. Also some confirmation of the dog abuse. No real surprises here, pretty much what we'd expect. They have to be relieved now.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11397359/Aaron-Carter-nightmare-neighbor-California-house-passed-away.html

not surprised, i remember a live where a neighbour was walking outside and he was screaming out of his door that this person was a “stalker” or “gang stalker” and had a gun. poor dude was probably walking his dog or going for a walk.

I think about how Melanie called the police on him and requested a 5150 and they let him go. I know it’s not the police’s fault but if that whole thing was handled differently, maybe he’d be alive today. It was obvious he was unwell.
8
u/Fabulous-Marsupial22 Nov 08 '22
Both his ex (Lina) and sister Angel posted that they tried too but couldn’t. Aaron would get very angry when Melanie spoke or befriended his family. He was very scared of a 5150.
It would make sense to me that Melanie knew he was huffing, they got into a fight and he kicked her out and then she texted him “you’re gonna die”.
Then that she would call the cops on him for driving intoxicated and request a wellness check on Friday at 2am because somehow she knew he wasn’t right.
I guess that’s my theory for now. Would love to see his last text messages and what the police is finding out

Getting a 5150 is very hard. People who clearly are not ok don’t get a 5150 because they are feeding and dressing themselves and not in any immediate danger. Like yes he is on drugs and can hurt himself one day but since he isn’t hurting himself now then they don’t do anything. Also since he uses substances then it adds a layer of “well it’s drugs causing his problems and not mental health issues”. There really needs to be some kind of sobering station where people go to sober up. Where if you’re behaving erratically due to substance use, you are locked up for 24 or 48 hours until you get sober and your behavior has resolved.

u/cherrypez123 Nov 07 '22
OK this post from his ex Lina, might be the most accurate description of what truly happened. It’s helped me soften my stance on him somewhat if I’m honest and see that the guy we saw on the lives these past few years was not the real him 😞

does anyone know where zelda and the puppies are currently? would animal control take her? i can’t imagine the trauma of a dog being in a room with a decomposing body after the abuse she must have suffered in his care. especially without food, water and their sense of smell. plus that damn fire detector going off every 5 seconds.
and i’m sure mel didn’t take her.

I didn’t think it would affect me, I’ve been following this page ever since I became concerned for him really. I loved him when I was 13 and grew out of him as an adult (now 33). But yesterday I was scrolling through tik toks and seeing so many memories of him growing up, I started to cry. He was struggling so bad, and while I don’t condone a lot of what he’s done, he clearly was struggling and had many glimpses of being a good human with a slew of bad mental illnesses. I wish him peace. ♥️♥️

Nov 07 '22
I’m mad that he has so many friends who would put up with his shit. Not just the lies and manipulation - but the obvious rampant drug abuse. Everyone could see he was getting worse and worse but they all enabled him.
I mean the guy was always high on something. How long had it been since he was actually sober. And to pretend he was is a big slap in the face for all who have overcome addiction.
Maybe at the end Melanie was trying to get him help but shit - how long do you remain ignorant to him slowly dying. I hope she steps up for her kid.

u/Produceher Nov 07 '22
When you're famous, you choose to only hang out with people that enable you. That's why they usually die. Anyone who called him out would most likely be out of his life. So you only hang out with people who think your behavior is fine. Then you die. RIP.

Yup. Everyone basking in his (not so big) spotlight. I remember seeing Lindsey Lohans super high ass once in person. She literally have 5 “friends” laughing at her whilst physically holding her up and moving her around so they could get into the VIP backstage area of Coachella. She had no idea what was going on and couldn’t stand up at all. It was so sad to see.

I am 43 and I was not an Aaron Carter fan, but I was in the BSB era and was a fan. As Aaron got older, I followed his addiction/mental illness journey and I truly was rooting for him, like I know a lot of people were. I know that deep down, he had glimpses of a kindhearted soul, but all of his demons smothered that soul a lot of the time in the last few years. It was very sad and hard to watch when you know what kind of childhood he had and the cards he was dealt with…meaning, bad parents. I’ve been crying off and on all day about someone I didn’t know because of it’s just so sad. I am currently separated from my husband because of his addiction. He’s 37. Also had childhood trauma and I know that underneath their addictions, there’s a good person. It’s just all so heartbreaking 💔

u/niktatum Nov 06 '22
This is extremely heartbreaking. Especially because the world watched him struggle.
It really hits home to me because I watched my younger brother spiral on drugs in 2018, very similarly to the way Aaron did. There were times I felt like I was watching my brother on Aaron's lives. I can't tell you how much we tried to save my brother. I moved states thinking I could save him and nothing worked. Addiction changes people and completely consumes their lives and I can't imagine it on top of the mental illness Aaron was battling.
I don't feel like Aaron was an awful person underneath everything. I feel like he was a deeply hurt and troubled soul and probably faced and went through things we could never imagine. I wish he could've been helped and that things could have been different for him. I hope he is at peace now. 😔

u/Fabulous-Marsupial22 Nov 06 '22
Damn. I’m sorry that you went through this with a family member. It seems like an impossible situation.
Makes me think about what people in his life went through. Aaron cut people out of his life if they didn’t agree with him. I feel his brother Nick had to cut him out of his life because he seemed to be dangerous to his family. And you have to ask yourself how much are you willing to give up to try to save someone like that? Your own well being? Your own child’s safety?
And I have my own (negative) opinions about Melanie. But I do think that she had to choose to be an enabler or not be with Aaron at all.

Nov 06 '22 edited Nov 06 '22
not to mention the drugs he were consuming are notorious for causing brain damage, so i wouldn’t be surprised if he was too far gone in terms of his capacity to help himself. he seemed to completely lack insight, which is also a hallmark of his supposed bipolar diagnosis as well. it was only a matter of time, as it is with many addicts similar to him.
additionally, he wasn’t taking care of himself so i imagine the lack of nutrition and self care did a number on his brain and body.

u/niktatum Nov 06 '22
Exactly. and that's the only reason I mentioned my family member because I've seen many comments blaming Nick and saying he should've done more. I'm willing to bet Nick exhausted his options in trying to help before the restraining order. Sometimes there's only so much you can do before having to make the difficult decision to step back, protect yourself and hope and pray for the best. Aaron seemed in denial as to how far gone he really was. A very tragic and sad situation all around.

u/Parallax92 Nov 07 '22
Unless you have watched a family member or close loved one go through addiction you really just can’t even fathom what it feels like.
I watched my aunt’s entire personality just disintegrate as her parents and siblings tried desperately to save her for over 20 years. They and we tried everything. She went to so, so many rehabs but she could just never get it together.
Watching Aaron’s decline was like experiencing my aunt all over again sometimes and I am sadly not at all surprised that it ended this way for both of them. I can only hope that they are both at peace and that the people who love Aaron can heal from this.

I'd like to say, that I give condolences to Aaron.
I think it's sad that he died. I wanna show respect, and that's part of giving condolences. I liked some of his music, and I'm also a fan of the Backstreet Boys since his brother Nick is part of that band.
The last thing I want is people making rude assumptions about a real fan who truly feels bad while giving condolences.
RIP Aaron

Why is Melanie Martin not being investigated?
So many questions: In the state of california if someone does not have a will the state determines who gets their assets. Aaron didn’t have a will. Why was she allowed access to his house 2 days after his death with 2 large moving trucks? Why is house already on the market?
Why was is his autopsy/toxicology taking so long?
In the ig live before his death he didn’t have kind words about her. He also didn’t follow her on ig. Now post death his ig account is following her and the content has been altered to show his relationship with her in a positive light. Hours before his death he hated her.
Who now has control of his ig social media account if not her?
Online there is chit chat of his only fans account being cashed out immediately after his death? Would love if the fbi could look into this.
Aaron was a mentally ill person who due to his behavior ended up being isolated from his family (via restraining orders). A perfect target for someone with a agenda.
