Before his sad passing, Aaron Carter attempted to prevent the publication of his contentious memoir, which his representatives exclusively reveal to sources.
“Aaron, in the midst of [working on the book], said, ‘I want nothing to do with this and stopped, so the fact that the publisher is saying it’s green-lit, it’s not,” his publicist says. “That’s against Aaron’s wishes.”
During the previous week, a few excerpts from the “unauthorized” memoir “Aaron Carter: An Incomplete Story of an Incomplete Life,” which will be published posthumously on Tuesday, have been made available.
Carter claims in one section of the book that he once spent the night at Michael Jackson’s house and discovered the pop icon there wearing “tight-whitey underwear.”

“It’s incredibly terrible that within a week of Aaron’s death, there’s a publisher that seems to be carelessly pushing a book out to capitalize on this tragedy without taking the appropriate time or care to fact-check the veracity of his work,” Duff, 35, said in a statement on Thursday. It is horrible to dilute Aaron’s life narrative into what appears to be unreliable clickbait for financial gain.
The source is informed by Carter’s management group and publicists that they appreciate the “How I Met Your Father” actress’
“In the few short days following our dear friends passing we have been trying to grieve and process while simultaneously having to deal with obscenely disrespectful and unauthorized releases including an album titled blacklisted, a single titled ‘Lately’ and now a book,” Taylor Helgeson, of Big Umbrella Management, adds.
“This is a time for mourning and reflection, not heartless money grabs and attention seeking. We would ask the parties responsible to remove the aforementioned content and that no further content be released without approval from his family, friends, and associates.”
Carter “hired” him to “help tell the world his story,” according to Page Six, but Andy Symonds, the book’s publisher, stands by his choice.
“That story, while tragically cut short, was filled with good and bad,” he says. “His life was far from pretty, and understandably certain people in the public eye don’t want some of the stories Aaron tells in his book to come to light. That doesn’t make them any less true or newsworthy.”
“Aaron had a right—as we all do—to tell his experience,” the author writes in his conclusion. I feel privileged that he chose me, a journalist, to assist him with that. Aaron wrote this book to aid those who were dealing with addiction and mental illness, as well as for his own catharsis. I firmly believe it will accomplish that.
When questioned if Carter had said she no longer wanted to publish the book, Symonds remained silent.
On November 5, Carter, 34, was discovered dead in the bathtub of his California home.
