Aaron Carter's twin Angel reveals why she hasn't spoken to their mum: 'True invasion of privacy'
Aaron Carter's twin sister, Angel, has cut contact with their mum after the death of the former child star.
Four months after his death, their mother Jane published photos of Aaron's death scene to Facebook.
"It was a true invasion of privacy and something that Aaron would've never wanted the public to see," Angel told People.

Aaron was found dead in his California home in November 2022, aged 34.
Five months later, the death was ruled accidental. The autopsy report confirmed the musician died from a combination of factors, including drowning.
The late pop star's mum wanted the police to treat her son's death as a homicide, which is why she published the photos.
"Aaron had a lot of death threats and many many people who were making his life miserable," she insisted at the time via a Facebook post.

Angel cannot forgive her mum for sharing such a private moment on a global platform, telling People she hasn't spoken to her since.
"Aaron dying was the worst possible outcome for all of us," she shared. "My brother deserves to be here."
The former model also revealed that her, Aaron, and their brother Nick Carter, a former Backstreet Boys member, had a troubled upbringing. "Our childhood was filled with emotional abuse, dysfunction and addiction," she said.
Just a few months ago, their mother Jane was reportedly arrested on charges of battery after an alleged dispute with her husband over their television's volume.

Following Carter's death, his older brother Nick took to Instagram to pay tribute to the late star.
"Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss," he wrote in the caption, alongside photos of the pair as kids.
"But the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here."
