Aaron Carter went on a downward spiral that led to him talking about ‘killing babies’, claims his twin sister

Aaron Carter tragically died in 2022, but now his twin sister has revealed some shocking insight into his downward spiral.

The twin sister of late ’90s star Aaron Carter has recalled the harrowing moment the singer fell into psychosis and claimed he wanted to “kill babies”.

His twin sister, Angel, has now opened up in a new podcast about her struggles trying to help her brother, recalling an horrific period during the summer of 2019 when Carter experienced an alleged episode of psychosis amid his diagnosis of bipolar and schizophrenia disorders.

Angel has alleged Aaron told her about his thoughts of “killing babies” and how he started to accumulate several guns within a week.

The situation led Angel - who was a new mum to daughter Harper Noelle Conrad - and their older brother, Nick, to file a restraining order against the singer. The court order led to Aaron’s guns being taken away.

“I had to protect him from himself,” Angel said as she teared up.

Angel blamed the hitmaker’s downfall on the years he was “exploited and used” by the people around him since the start of his career at age nine.

“I couldn’t save him,” she said. “It wasn’t my responsibility to save him but I tried.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Angel explained that Aaron was the “breadwinner” of their family. She recalled the pop star believing their parents’ 2003 divorce was his fault as they were torn apart by the greed of his success.

“He thought that the success destroyed the family,” she said.

While Aaron started experimenting with marijuana before his parents split when he was 12, it wasn’t until they officially called it quits that he started taking “hard” drugs.

“He was experimenting with ecstasy and huffing duster cans,” Angel claimed, recalling she didn’t find out until “years later” that Aaron continued the “bad stuff” into his 20s.

Aaron was found dead in a bathtub at his California estate after slipping and falling. He was 34. His death was ruled accidental, though he was found to be under the influence of several substances. A year later, the father of one’s 41-year-old sister, Bobbie Jean, died from drug abuse.
