Aaron Carter’s Twin Sister Angel Carter Prepares for His Death

Aaron Carter’s twin sister, Angel Carter, recently opened up about her brother’s struggles and how she prepared for his death years before it happened.

Angel arrested by Taylor Lautner and his wife Taylor Dome’s podcast Pressurewhere she opened up about Aaron’s death in 2022 and the family dynamics that likely played a role in it. Of the five Carter siblings, Angel and Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys are the only ones still alive. When their first brother, Leslie, died, Angel said it left her completely devastated.

“I didn’t see it coming. When she died, I was already in therapy preparing for Aaron’s death. I thought he was going to die,” she said on the podcast. “I was afraid of that my entire 20s. I knew this day was coming, and I think he knew it too because he couldn’t cope.”

Angel shared that she tried to show Aaron tough love and be honest with him about his mental health and addiction struggles, but she said he didn’t want to hear it from her: “He needed his parents to take charge.”

When her parents, Jane and Robert Carter, divorced in 2004, Angel revealed that she believed Aaron blamed them for their split because he saw what his fame and money had done to them and their relationship, as well as the greed it caused.

“As a child, he thought it was his fault, and he carried that with him his whole life,” she said. “He believed that success destroyed the family and that it was not his responsibility to carry all that weight. … His innocence was taken away from him, and he would often go on tour all year long, gone, just wanting to come home.

Instead of encouraging him to go home, his parents were pushing him to finish the tour and promising to buy him a boat or something (with his money) when he got back, Angel said. “He just wanted to be home,” she added. “He just wanted to be a kid. He wanted to make friends and go outside and play. His innocence wasn’t protected.”

Aaron’s legacy after years of struggles with mental health and the sexual assault allegations against Nick were recently explored on Investigation Discovery. Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter.
