What such loss though, Losing most of their family. I will always feel for what happened to Aaron. His live streams were so sad to watch. You could see his pain and how much he was suffering. Even more heart breaking that so many of his fans turned on him in the end, When it was such a cry for help. Deep down I still feel he didn't leave this world on his own accord though. Just Tragic. Rest in Peace ❤️❤️
They abandoned Aaron when he was alive and now they want to act all heartbroken and exploit his passing for profit. Smh
May the 5th element everlasting life nanotechnology be with

Drugs is the real evil
Drugs and Alcohol
Sometimes when a person is an addict the whole family tries to make an effort to help, to be there for that person but sometimes they don’t want to be saved and the safest part is that sometimes we as siblings take that responsibility with you, and it is not our responsibility to, and sometimes the parents do everything in their hands but it’s a lost case …. The only thing I know that hurts so so so much and the pain for that loss never goes away ….
🕊️❤️🙏
Rest In Heaven Aaron Carter 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌈🌈🌈🌈😢😢😢
Too late to be heartbroken 😢he's gone.
good riddance. who cares. he'll wait for us.
I have empathy of course. But fame and money destroys nothing. People do. Everyone has a choice. I left home at 14, began working construction. When I was a teenager I ran / dealt pot and hash, making money hand over fist. I refused to touch chemicals in any form. I indulged in pot and hash, refused to use chemicals in any form. Why? Because by 14 I had seen countless news stories of addiction, witnessed addiction, teachers had preached in school after students were hospitalized or died from overdose. Seen many movies and TV show's with addicted characters. I had the intelligence and the knowledge, and my mom's advice. MDMA is often called ecstasy became popular in the 80's, education against it was prevalent. Coke, all of it has been around since the 1870's with H, , Cary Grant made infamous LSD therapy In the late 1950s. In the the late 1990's After School Specials were popping up abut the dangers of running away, drugs, hitch hiking. Addiction is a disease yes. However there is simply no excuse to "TRY" any of those known addictive substances. PERIOD!! That is a personal choice. to choose 100% reckless, stupid, is an unforgivable choice. Yes I grieve when a person, a stranger is accidently run over, but not when they willingly, enthusiastically jump in front of a roaring train.
This hurts cause in 2017 i met Aaron Carter in Echo Park and he was so nice to me cause i asked him for a picture and he said yes to taking the picture and when Aaron passed i cried 😢
People saw him a week before he passed away @ the local Walmart. He looked terrible skinny & you could tell he was off. He was recognized but no one approached him? He looked out of place.
I am thankful Angel and Nick have a safe supportive place to share their story . The TRUTH from their mouths not the lies you see in other trash documentaries. I look forward to watching
Child celebrity, addiction, family betrayal, & the constant noise from news & social media who blast & judge you. I can't imagine all these struggles while the world watched & judged. 💔

@5:46 that’s the thing, Aaron would of never of wanted to have hurt anyone
@6:10 Aaron live streamed driving with little sleep and in an unpredictable state, to one of his shows in Florida’s with all of his guns in the trunk and we were all concerned. So I notified the police, they pulled him over minutes later on the freeway. They let him go because he didn’t commit a crime. That’s what they told me after. Luckily the guns stayed in the trunk.
That’s cute of Angel because it’s on record of Aaron saying he’s going to die “because his family wants all his money” many, many, many times. And here we are. There is no heart for the Carter family. It’s about cashing checks.
I'm glad a documentary told from Aaron's family is coming out without the slant of the others that were horrible & untrue
Aaron is missed bu all of us who knew him.
I am so glad that Nick and Angel made amends, and I am especially happy that Angel realized that as a family, they shouldn't have put all the blame on Nick it wasn't right. Buy I do hope that this documentary helps both find peace. Which is why I am also happy they both get to tell their side
This is gonna help people in addiction believe what happens. Aaron was a lovely, happy kid who was talented, and his parents took his money. R.I.P. aaron. I Adore Angel and may God bless Nick and them forever ❤️
The moment you start to feel like slipping away try and be humble
Why do I get the feeling the sister wasn't really that close to her despite being twins. He looked up to his big brother Nick.
The Carter family has been through more than anyone could endure. Nick and Angel are incredibly strong people. Looking forward to watching the documentary.
What a shame! I can't believe when he came into his money, he owed $2 million to the IRS?!?! His parents should be ashamed!!!!
This is so sad 😭. Every time, I think of the Carter family and how many are left, I just want to cry. As a Backstreet Boys fan , I want to watch the documentary, but I don't know if I can. It is just so painful and this is from someone from the outside of their 'situation' trying to just take a peek to understand. 😢❤
Enough already , The music cartel already sucked the life out of this family. So called entertainment industry …which is filled with parasite pedo's. The motives behind this ' Doc ' might be pure. However it sensationalizes the toxic hollywood lies and bs. Its disgusting and very sad.
Those poor kuds never had a chance because of their mom and dad. I hope angel and nick can heal.
Garbage who gives a f angel need more therapy really bad all she care wants his money perhaps they all did love for another at one point no one care bout depression dramatic famous family
How tf is she so normal
Very sad. People are so cruel with heartless comments. RIP Aaron. No more suffering. you belong with your family. 🩵🩵👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼😘🤗
Soleil Moon Frye is Evil herself.. I'm sure she's getting something and leaching off her
Sending love and hugs 🫂❤
