The Aaron Carter memoir controversy continues — and this time the ghostwriter the star was working with is placing in his two cents!
As you understand, the previous youngster star handed away Saturday, and whereas his reason behind loss of life remains to be unknown, a number of of his remaining works are being rushed to be launched. Carter’s rep Taylor Helgeson of Big Umbrella Management blasted the choice in an announcement to the New York Post on Thursday evening:
“In the few short days following our dear friend’s 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.”
An album, single, and a e-book? Oof.

The e-book in query has prompted a little bit of an uproar specifically. Especially because it’s to be revealed on Tuesday — simply 10 brief days after the singer’s passing. The poor household hasn’t even had time to grieve but! And the contents of the autobiography titled Aaron Carter: An Incomplete Story of an Incomplete Life — which was being written by Aaron himself and ghostwriter Andy Symonds — are simply as controversial as the discharge date.
After an excerpt obtained by the Post revealed the I Want Candy singer claimed he misplaced his virginity to Hilary Duff on her thirteenth birthday, the actress slammed the “disgusting” soon-to-be-released publication, telling DailyMail.com it’s an “uninformed, heartless, money grab.”
But Symonds is snapping again! He doesn’t agree with the Lizzie McGuire star or Carter’s rep! In truth, he instructed DailyMail.com on Friday he thinks the Aaron’s Party musician deserves to have his e-book revealed:
“Aaron Carter hired me to help him tell the world his story. That story, while tragically cut short, was filled with good and bad. 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 story. As a journalist, I am honored that he chose me to help him do that. In addition to being cathartic for him, Aaron hoped this book would help others struggling with addiction and mental illness. I hope and believe it will do that.”
Hmm… While it might be true all of us have a proper to talk our fact, the memoir wasn’t even finalized, proper? Meaning… no remaining approval? Plus, it doesn’t sound prefer it was fact-checked both, seeing as how preliminary particulars don’t coincide with what Hilary and Aaron each said about their relationships in earlier interviews…
Unless one thing modifications, the e-book is because of be obtainable for buy on November 15. Will U be studying it, Perezcious readers? Let us know your ideas within the feedback (beneath).
