My heart is broken. Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed. pic.twitter.com/89lsEdX9f8

Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness are the real villains here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you baby brother. pic.twitter.com/jqo9T0DnnQ

The carter family has dealt with a lot of heartache haven’t they? Aaron’s sister was only 25 when she passed away 10 years ago…now Aaron. RIP.
They have all had trauma related to addiction and abuse. It started with the parents and the children followed. Fame certainly did not help. I hope the remaining siblings can break the cycle with their own kids
“Cannabis isn’t a gateway drug.
Alcohol isn’t a gateway drug.
Nicotine isn’t a gateway drug.
Caffeine isn’t a gateway drug.
Trauma is the gateway.
Childhood abuse is the gateway. Molestation is the gateway.
Neglect is the gateway.
Drug abuse, violent behaviour, hyper sexuality and self-harm are often the symptoms (not the cause) of much bigger issues. And it often stems from a childhood filled with trauma, absent parents, and an abusive family.
But most people are too busy laughing at the homeless and drug addicts to realise that your own children could be in their shoes in 15 years.”
~ Russell Brand
Yah, I do realise he’s a complete nutter, this resonated deeply with me because it’s been my lived experience too
And then also both Aaron and Leslie left behind a kid who wasn’t a year old yet when they died. I hope the cycle doesn’t extend to those kids either.
Well said Hannah. Aaron’s parents were addicts/alcoholics. He claimed to have been sexually abused by his sister who died. It is absolutely a cycle. Unfortunately his baby mom and him both lost custody so I fear for his kid. We know Nick had his own addiction problems (blamed Paris Hilton but clearly abused her as well).
I worked with a self-confessed alcoholic, who had been that way for 50 years. She raised six children, five of whom were/are also alcoholics. She said it’s not her fault, AA taught her that her children’s affliction are the results of their actions and nothing to do with her. Most of her offspring ended up not wanting anything to do with her.
@Hannah, you’re sadly so spot on. Because of their unstable family background, both Nick and Aaron were pushed into the entertainment industry and became victims of prolonged sexual abuse by the late Lou Pearlman. Never ever forget that the man who made them famous was the biggest, grossest child abuser of all. The trauma that these poor children suffer when they’re neglected, abused, and exploited by the adults around them lasts a lifetime. I hope Aaron’s soul is finally at peace.
this is incredibly sad
MBB is so lovely as Enola. She definitely has “range”. I would love to see her in a light-hearted modern romantic comedy
I’ve already got my fingers crossed for Enola Holmes 3.
When you can’t decide if you want to wear jeans or go with the comfort of yoga pants.
We watched the original Enola Holmes when it came out, and we all enjoyed it, so we watched Enola Holmes 2 this weekend with the kids (boy 14 and girl almost 12) and they both LOVED this one. I think these ages must be the sweet spot to get both the mystery clues and the social policy commentary. MBB is fantastic as is my new boyfriend Henry Cavill – not the Sherlock of the ACD books but I’m okay with it! LOL. Highly recommend for this older tween/young teen ages.
i don’t know if you’d be interested, but the movies are based on a series of middle grade books by Nancy Springer. They’re great. If i’m remembering correctly, the first movie at least follows the plot of the first book pretty closely.
Watched both when they came out with my now 12 year old. She said the second was even better and now wants to read the book series
Also I love Cavill’s emotionally stunted take. It’s elementary! They have great actor chemistry together but she pretty much does with everyone (David Harbor, Winona etc…)
Actually it’s “Elementary my dear Watson!” Will definitely be a third with him.
Rest In Peace.
Poor man. I saw one of the last pictures of Aaron Carter, and he looked like a tortured soul. Really sad. Rest in peace.
Such sad news about Aaron Carter! He had such a troubled family life, and was pushed into fame at a young age. Life wasn’t easy on him, but he seemed to have a kind spirit despite his troubles. May he Rest In Peace.
RIP to Carter. It’s a damn shame to go so young.
I love Whose Line is It Anyway? I hope someone else picks it up. It’s one of those few genuinely funny shows out there.
Do you think Nick Carter felt a bit pressured to share that on social media or do you think he wanted to?
I always find it so weird that close friends and family wants to write these things when someone they love die.
Almost like it’s a bit inappropriate.
Okay, that tiktok video dlisted posted of Aaron playing the piano made me cry.
You can feel his soul in that one.
I hope he’s found peace.

You could feel his soul in that music.
I hope he’s found peace.
My partner was showing me videos of Aaron Carter dancing when he was on Dancing with the Stars. It was crazy. I am out of the age range to know much about him other than tabloid stuff. He was so talented, skilled and hardworking when he was clean.
The midterms aren’t just about induced abortion access. They are also about access to health care for women experiencing spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), ectopic pregnancies, death of a fetus inside them, and all other complications of pregnancy as well as protection of women from having to deal with intrusive police investigation of all such events. Good grief, some politicians are talking about restricting travel for women just in case they might be traveling to get an abortion in another state! And don’t think for a minute that access to contraception is not at risk.
Just ask women in places like Romania under the old dictator who wanted women to have at least five kids and explain themselves if they didn’t, and in El Salvador where some women today have been in prison for years after miscarriage because of abortion laws. There is very good reason to keep governments out of such decisions and all women are affected, not just those seeking induced abortions.
