Aaron Carter, who died on Nov. 5 at age 34, had an early start in Hollywood, selling one million albums before he turned 10.
The Florida native gained teen idol status with the release of his second album, “Aaron’s Party (Come and Get It) in 2000.
He began making guest appearances on Nickelodeon shows like “Lizzie McGuire” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” and was the support act for big brother Nick Carter’s group, the Backstreet Boys.

He competed in “Dancing with the Stars,” appeared in the Broadway musical “Seussical” and the off-Broadway musical “The Fantasticks” and performed live over the years but unfortunately, he began popping up in the news for the wrong reasons.
There were arrests for DUIs, lurid accusations against family members, including brother Nick, and trips to rehabs. There was even a live ‘celebrity’ boxing match against Khloé Kardashian’s ex-husband, Lamar Odom.
He also had a tumultuous relationship with on-again, off-again fiancée Melanie Martin, with whom he shared a son named Prince.
Two years ago Carter hawked his debut on CamSoda — an adult webcam site that allows viewers to browse through “hundreds of cam girls, and watch live sex.”
In 2020 the “I Want Candy” performer shilled his appearance on the porn site to Page Six.
“I’m going to hop on the piano and then do some other kinky stuff like hot wax and you know, just some stuff like that, you just have to sign up to see it,” he explained.

“I actually suffer from body dysmorphia so it’s kind of ironic that I’m comfortable doing that when I suffer from it,” he detailed.
Carter swore that his appearance would be “classy. It’s where I’m at.”
The “Aaron’s Party” singer added that he wasn’t planning on doing sex tapes…unless there was a hefty price tag attached.
“Unless it’s like in the $3 million range,” Carter said, “something like that. I’m a singer, not an adult star.”
