Aaron Carter's family is trying to make up after his mother, Jane Schneck, blamed the singer's fiancee for his death in a social media rant.
"My baby boy is dead," the grieving mother started a series of posts on November 28 that have since been deleted.
She accused Melanie Martin, 30, of bugging her dead son for money and making money off of his death. She wrote that she had been telling him to be careful for two years. Another post read that Aaron Carter almost made it home.
Melanie and Aaron started dating at the beginning of 2020, and they got engaged in June of that same year. In November 2021, their son, Prince, was born.
At the time of the singer's death, they were living apart.
Melanie now told TMZ that she and Jane had a "pretty good relationship" before the singer of "Same Way" died on November 5 and that she doesn't hold the bad posts against her.
Melanie said that Jane told her she was a "good woman" while she was helping Aaron get his teeth fixed. She also said that an assistant for Aaron's twin sister, Angel, apologized to her and told her that the offensive posts had been taken down.
Angel is in charge of her brother's estate, which has about $550,000 in it. This money will go to Prince. The "Summertime" singer's family will scatter his ashes at a private memorial service next year. Melanie said that she has been invited and that she still wants Jane to meet Prince after Christmas.
This was already planned before the troubled singer died. In a conversation with TMZ, Jane said that she doesn't want a war with Melanie and just wants what's best for her grandson.
However, Carter's mother's posts may not have a solid foundation. According to the singer's management, Aaron was in a downward spiral when they last saw him weeks before the tragedy. He did say that Aaron seems careless. Two days before he was tragically discovered dead, Aaron Carter's manager was taken aback by the troubled entertainer's weak appearance.
"He looked thin. He was extremely tired," Taylor Helgeson tells Page Six exclusively. "He just looked like he needed to be doing anything but working. He looked like he needed to be taking care of him." Helgeson, who had been Carter's manager for eight months, tells us he met with the "I Want Candy" singer at a recording studio the week he died because they had planned to collaborate on a new album.
