Aaron is peeved over Nick’s Tweet
Singer Aaron Carter slammed his star brother Nick Carter for his tweet regarding his DUI arrest and claimed the police “targeted” him due to fame.
Following the news of the July 15 incident, the former Backstreet Boys singer tweeted: “To my brother: I love you no matter what and if you feel the need to reach for help, I am here and willing to help you get better. Family isn’t always easy, we’re all here for you.”
The 29-year-old was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence as well as possession of drugs. His girlfriend, Madison Parker, was riding passenger in the car and was also taken into custody for alleged drug-related offences.
Aaron was released the next day after posting bail for $4,610. He was not pleased with Nick’s comments and released the following statement on Twitter: “If my own blood 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 not cool at all to use me for his PR and kick me while I am down. I love my family despite it through thick and thin.”
Nick appeared to respond to the comments by retweeting a note from wife. It read: “Hey Aaron, have @itsmadisonp text me your new number since you changed it again!”
As part of the same statement, he also thanked his fans for their prayers and support and spoke out regarding his side of the story.
“Aaron’s been traveling non-stop doing promotions on his latest hit single Sooner or Later across the southeast when his automobile had a new tire put on it and it went out of alignment,” the statement read.
“Aaron drove the vehicle to the nearest Auto Zone in Cornelia, Georgia. After being at the store and requesting help to get his alignment fixed, he was arrested inside by several police officers with aggression. The police also revoked his rights to have an attorney.”
He continued: “Aaron holds a medical license for medical substance for his long standing anxiety. He feels his ‘celebrity’ was targeted and an attorney will be retained in this matter.”
“The video from Auto Zone will prove that Aaron was not in a moving vehicle while arrested and charged with a DUI.” Aaron was scheduled to perform with Flo Rida at Kansas City on July 15.
