Yes and maybe?
He was like the barely pubescent girl's alternative to Nick Carter and the BSB (kinda like Justin Bieber was at the start of his career I guess).

Aaron had his song on Nick and was one of their house stars. Probably did walk ons for shows and played music/had songs on shows or soundtracks.

Someone in some GBS thread way back in like 2008 or something said that Aaron Carter and a bunch of other late-90s/early-00s boy band singers got raped/molested by an airline executive as a condition for their being in a band, and that this happened so much to so many of those kids and was such a big and prevalent open secret that a lot of them, including Aaron specifically, made jokes about it at parties and poo poo.

Was any of that ever proven or disproven?
A few members of the BSB (or maybe it was NSYNC?) did some long-form interviews, not sure if in a podcast or not, that told a lot of the "behind the scenes" type stories of being forced to give up their personal freedom for the duration of their careers. They were pretty open about the music execs being sex pests and perverts who were fond of non-consensual everything. It was basically understood that if they wanted the job and to get a chance a fame they either had put up with it until the end or never join and go home with nothing. AFAIK, it was basically an open "secret" and a lot of pop stars and groups with some of those big talent agencies knew from the start what was expected, no matter how mentally damaging it turned out to be for them.

He was just on no jumper 3 days ago, which I haven’t watched yet but the guy interviewing him, adam22 said that he seemed like he wasn’t doing too well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B83uJMHUitw

I think he’s interviewed him 2, maybe 3 other times before this and they’re all very uh, interesting. It seems like the interviews he did for no jumper were the only actual like relevant media appearances he’d had since like the 90s/early 2000s, or the reality tv show their family did.

quote:

Jane Carter, Nick's mother, has been repeatedly questioned over an incident when Carter stayed the night at Pearlman's house, emerging the next day upset and no longer wanting to be left alone with the "Svengali" boy band magnate.

When pressed by a reporter, following other allegations of Pearlman's misconduct, Jane Carter said she'd been hushed: "I tried to expose him for what he was years ago. … I hope you expose him, because the financial [scandal] is the least of his injustices.

"I can't say anything more. These children are fearful, and they want to go on with their careers."

Yeah I just watched a bit and he’s trying to hide his hosed up eyes with the hat. Also lol he says that his dog is trained to attack when he says that Russian word and then just says it and the dog doesn’t move. So many insane parts of this interview, I skipped ahead a bit and he’s talking about Kanye west and says he’s being stupid, and then goes on say that he grew up around black people and they played in his band and taught him how to play piano, presumably, thinking that it will qualify whatever he was about to say about BLM, and institutional violence, etc. and Adam says ‘so you’re getting invited to the cookout’ and he just says ‘what cookout’, and then Adam even explains, ‘like, you know, the proverbial cookout’ and he still does not get it at all.

Sorry to go all Real World here but yeah having dealt with emotional trauma for the last 2 years has taught a lot of empathy and whatever this guy was going through, pretty sure he was really hurting.

It's hard to imagine until you go through it but emotional trauma can manifest as physical hurt. I left that poo poo behind 30 years ago only to find out it's still there. It's not just any pain.

For me it's been like if you imagine how the fight or flight mechanism feels. You're pumped up with adrenaline for a short while and it doesn't feel good in the least most of the time but it's supposed to last minutes so you get out of whatever rear end in a top hat situation it is you're in. But sometimes it doesn't and you're in constant pain, reliving a bad situation.

It hurts and it's exhausting, and that's one of the reasons why PTSD is often characterized by substance abuse. You're treating a wound others don't even see. I can't even fathom what it's like when the ones causing the damage are running an entire business your livelihood is dependent on. hosed up.

Backstreet had a Netflix documentary around the time they were launching a big tour (they've actually been a functional, recording band this whole time!) and they touched on some of that stuff with Pearlman.

Some of them were just like "Yeah dude was always like showing up to dance rehearsals like 'Eyyy boys looking good! Good stuff! Hey take off the shirts let's see those AAAABBBBBSSSS'", others were just insanely hurt that he started NSYNC behind their backs after being a father figure, some mentioned it was hosed up he let them drink and watch porn. Nick Carter, obviously, had a lot of anger going on about what it did to him and his brother.

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

Aaron Carter has a mid 2000's movie called "Popstar" and a lot of weird stuff shows up that unintentionally hints to this. The movie came out when Aaron Carter was ~15 and includes:

-A love interest plqyed by an actress in her early 20's.

-Lots of older women, including radio hosts, openly talking about how hot a 15 year old Aaron is

-Elementary Schoolers talking about how dreamy he is.

-A conflict centered around Aaron entering public school, complete with "funny" interactions with stalkers that keep stealing his poo poo.

-Aarons manager is a creep in his late 40's, there is a minor subplot about the manager dating a series of young women throughout the movie.

-Said manager has a long talk with Aaron about how the music production system is a horrific, uncaring monster that consumes people, squeezes them and tosses them aside like garbage. This isn't a criticism of the system, just an explanation for why Aaron must pass all his tests and stay out of summer school.

-Aaron overcomes his fear of talking tests (testaphobia) by taking his test on stage and imagining its a stage performance.

-A math professor that walks around his classroom during a test with a mirror on a stick to look up students skirts. He's supposedly looking for cheaters, but we see the professor ignore a cheating student so it's hard to interpret this any other way.

-It's a Disney Channel original, so the dialog is so inauthentic it feels like it takes place on another planet.

I'm only scratching the surface here. Its a amazingly bad movie, but current events make it really dark. I'd only recommend it as an A.P. Bad movie in the same category as "Honerable Men", where the director is so incompetent that he portrays himself as a racist pedophile cop. It's on Vudu now, maybe Disney+ will claim ownership, but I doubt it.

The goon who mentioned it in GBS gave a specific name of a man who (supposedly) was an American Airlines executive in Florida, as well as specific sex acts performed on the boys in said exec's office. I'll leave out the man's name and the nature of the alleged acts unless a mod tells me it's okay to post them, but the goon's claim sounded credible to me so at the very least I don't think they were intentionally lying about it.

It always weirded me out a little bit that I've never heard anyone else ever talk about any of those allegations, on SA or anywhere else. I've only ever seen it mentioned in that one GBS thread.

I mean I don't know about those specific allegations but isn't this skit literally about him?

I think the only reason he was able to last as long as he did is because he had a career before adopting the lifestyle. Still, even though he lived longer than the average Soundcloud facetat, he still died in what most people would consider the prime of someone's life.
