Aaron Carter slams brother Nick after shocking police mugshot sparks fears for his health

Sibling rivalry has always been rife in celebsville.

There are singers Noel and Liam, actors Julia Roberts and Eric, social media stars Kim and Kylie and Hollywood’s Emilio Estevez and his troublemaker brother Charlie Sheen, who are known to steer well clear of each other.

Now it seems Nick and Aaron Carter are at war after Aaron slammed his 37-year-old sibling for ‘kicking (him) while (he’s) down’.

The I Want Candy singer was arrested on driving under the influence (DUI) and drug possession charges on Saturday and after the news broke, Nick sent a message via Twitter seemingly reaching out to the star.

However, Aaron, 29, thinks the Backstreet Boys singer wasn’t being genuine and should have just picked up the phone and called him privately.

‘If my own blood (Nick) truly cared about my well-being, why wouldn’t he call me directly and have a conversation instead of making this about him through a very public forum?

‘That’s not cool at all to use me for his PR and kick me while I am down,’ he said in a statement through his representative.

While Nick hasn’t directly responded to Aaron’s remarks, he did retweet a telling post from his wife Lauren Kitt Carter, saying: ‘Hey @aaroncarter have @itsmadisonp text me your new number since you changed it again!’

Aaron claims he and his girlfriend Madison Parker ere unfairly arrested by ‘several police officers with aggression’ who only targeted them because he is famous.

‘Aaron’s been traveling non-stop doing promotions on his latest hit single ‘Sooner or Later’ across the southeast when his automobile had a new tire put on it and it went out of alignment,’ a statement read.

‘Aaron drove the vehicle to the nearest Auto Zone in Cornelia, Georgia. After being at the store and requesting help to get his alignment fixed, he was arrested inside by several police officers with aggression. The police also revoked his rights to have an attorney.

‘Aaron holds a medical license for medical marijuana for his long standing anxiety.

‘The video from Auto Zone will prove that Aaron was not in a moving vehicle while arrested and charged with a DUI. He feels his ‘celebrity’ was targeted and an attorney will be retained in this matter.’

Aaron missed a scheduled concert at Kansas City Live! in Missouri on Saturday, and another appearance planned for Sunday, and has apologised to fans for missing the dates.

The statement continued: ‘Aaron and girlfriend Madison are continuing their travels and deeply apologise for any inconvenience this legal matter may have caused his fans along the tour dates he has not been able to make.

‘Lost dates will be made up. His next stop will be in Alabama as scheduled Tuesday, July 18, 2017.’

The couple were released on bail at around 2.30pm on Sunday.
