Less than two weeks after his death, Aaron Carter’s unfinished memoir will be posthumously published by Ballast Books, a move Hilary Duff finds to be, in a word, “disgusting.” According to Page Six, the book gets into Duff and Carter’s relationship from back when they were barely teenagers—and claims that they lost their virginities to one another in a hotel room.
“It’s really sad that within a week of Aaron’s death, there’s a publisher that seems to be recklessly pushing a book out to capitalize on this tragedy without taking appropriate time or care to fact check the validity of his work,” Duff told the Daily Mail. “To water down Aaron’s life story to what seems to be unverified click-bait for profit is disgusting. In no way do I condone shedding any light on what is so obviously an uninformed, heartless, money grab.”
In the book Carter reportedly writes that “Hilary and I lost our virginity to each other at a hotel…in LA. I think it was her birthday, maybe her 13th, but I don’t remember. Her friends walked in, and we just yelled at them to get out.”
