Aaron Carter’s memoir, “An Incomplete Story of an Incomplete Life,” was published by Ballast Books soon after the singer’s death. With a launch scheduled for next Tuesday (11/15), the book arrived five days early in US bookstores, to prevent distribution from being hampered by the artist’s handlers.
Filled with controversial songs, the work reflects the singer’s struggle against drugs, but it’s the passages about Michael Jackson and Hilary Duff that have given more to talk about. In the play, the brother of Nick Carter (of the Backstreet Boys) claims that, after a party, he woke up with the king of pop standing in front of his bed in only “tight white underwear”. Aaron also claims that the star of the teen series ‘Lizzie McGuire’ lost her virginity to him when she was just 13 years old.
The singer was aware of how controversial the content was, and before he was found dead last Saturday (5/11), he went back and said he would not allow it to be published. The statement is from the artist’s manager, Taylor Helgeson, of Big Umbrella Management, who told the Page Six website: “Aaron, in the middle [do trabalho com o livro], said, “I don’t want anything to do with it,” and stopped. He abandoned the project. So the fact that the publisher is saying they have the green light to publish, they don’t. This is against Aaron’s will.”
Hilary Duff also spoke out against the attempt to make a show promoted by the publisher around the death of the 34-year-old artist.
“It’s really sad that, a week after Aaron’s death, there is a publisher who seems to recklessly release a book to capitalize on this tragedy without taking proper precautions. Watering down Aaron’s life story for what appears to be unverified clickbait for profit is disgusting,” he added.
Aaron Carter’s manager thanked the actress for her stance and stressed that the family should decide next steps against the publisher. “We, as Aaron’s manager, would like to thank Hillary Duff for her statement regarding the book that is due to be published. In the few days following our dear friend’s death, we have been grieving and trying to process what happened, while also time we’ve had to deal with obscenely disrespectful and unauthorized releases, including an album called ‘Blacklisted’, a single called ‘Lately’ and now a book.”
Helgeson continued: “This is a time for mourning and reflection, not a ruthless pursuit of money and attention. We ask responsible parties to remove the content mentioned above and that no other content be released without the approval of his family, friends and collaborators . “
Also in an interview with Page Six, the publisher of the artist’s memoirs, Andy Symonds, stressed that the book has already been published and that all the controversy is due to the fact that some people would not want the singer’s truth to come out out.
“His life was far from beautiful. Aaron had the right, like all of us, to tell his story. In addition to being cathartic for him, Aaron hoped this book would help others struggle with addiction and disease mental. I hope and believe you will,” he concluded.
The description of the book on Amazon says that: “Aaron was working on a book about his life before his death. He never got a chance to finish it. This is what has been completed.”
The text also states that Symonds spent three years interviewing Carter for the book.
