Singer Aaron Carter isn’t letting his recent family drama get him down. Instead, he’s living his best life on Instagram.
On Saturday, 31-year-old Carter showed off his new face tattoo to his 450K Instagram followers, along with the caption: “IM THE BIGGEST THING IN MUSIC RIGHT NOW. I CANT BE DENIED. FACT CHECK ME.”
In a follow up post, Carter announced he’s been working on new music and will be holding a VIP listening party next month in Los Angeles. Tickets to the event are $150 a pop.
He also posted a video of himself riding a dirt bike along with the caption, “Living my best life sweetie.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Carter’s last album, LØVË, was released in 2017. As part of the album’s promotional campaign, Carter came out as bisexual and performed in gay clubs.
Later, he walked everything back, saying that, actually, on second thought, he wasn’t bisexual after all and that he’s only into chicks.

Earlier this month, Carter’s older brother, Nick, filed a restraining order against him, claiming the singer had been exhibiting “increasingly alarming behavior” and threatened to kill his “pregnant wife and unborn child.”
The 39-year-old Backstreet Boy tweeted: “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today.”
In response, Carter said he and his brother were “done for life.”

Fact Check reveals: Carter is Trump level delusional. Intervention badly needed.
Mack
Another “legend in his own mind” just like Trump.

by doing a ‘fact check’ you have added to the count of searches that for some reason do give these delusional publicity hunters their statistic.

If you have nothing to add then their’s the door.

I’m not sure why you guys keep reporting on him. He is not LGBT, by his own admission it was basically fake news and he’s clealry having some mental struggles and has perhaps relapsed into drug use. It is obvious that he needs help, and unless the reporting is to urge him to get help, it just seems like pointless.
Donston
He disconnected from a bi identity, but he still claims to have some type of attractions to dudes. This site constantly posts people who embrace “no labels” or are just “gay friendly”. But ultimately, this site is using him and his brand of crazy for quick clickbait. What identities he does or doesn’t embrace and where he is on the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, relationship spectrum are not nearly the most of his worries.
Brian
They just want us to point and laugh.
Josh447
Donston,
We all know you think you’re the Supreme blow hard innovator of anything new thought sexual, but get one thing clear, there is no such thing as “gender, romantic, sexual, affection, relationship spectrum” that you keep grinding everyone’s gears about, and there never will be. No one is picking up on your cliché new labels so quit trying to add more label bs to the already bs label world, boring us with your meaningless pseudo faux hype. In other words, drop it already. The legend in your own mind shtick has become more than tedious.
Donston
I’m assuming you were just looking for any reason to attack me because a few days I (respectfully) called out your hypocrisy and your tendency to only pick up on trends that you’re comfortable with and that further your agenda. You might as well just let go of that bi shit and just embrace being seen as the “gay” that you are, because you fit that bitchy, one note, refusing to hear out anyone with differing being perspectives “gay male” stereotype to the T. Never mind that you’re now scared to even touch chicks. The spectrum is partially designed to expose problematic frauds like yourself who hide behind identity or behaviors or politics, which is primarily why you resent it.
Josh447
Donston,
No. I wasn’t waiting in the bushes to jump you for false claims you failed to back up upon request, also true of your baseless current claims. You’re just not that important.
You’ve been using that annoying spectrum phrase for quite some time and i just hit my limit today. It has nothing to do with anything in this forum. It’s a dead dog here. Go talk to a forum of lesbians and you might find some minimal traction.
If you’d like some practice backing things up let’s start with your statement about Arron Carter being legitimately attracted to guys. And for your grand finale, let’s see you bring citations referring to; bi guys don’t bitch. As with most or all of your claims, backup isn’t present.
You do have good things to say, once the mine field is cleared of baseless statements. Try cutting your comments in half, you know, edit edit edit. Very helpful.
Good luck.
Donston
Outside of every blue moon calling out you’re hypocrisy, I stay not bothering you. You’ve spent a great percentage of your posts telling people what they are and what they are not. And you whine when perspectives don’t align with yours. That resembles bitching. Call me pretentious, redundant, longwinded, whatever. But I’m not so easily threatened by change or differing opinions. I don’t fvck with everything, but I’m also not bitter and dismissive. You’re the epitome of a corny, half-hearted “bi guy”. Someone who isn’t interested in educating or understanding or any real conversation. You just want to hide behind the safety of identity and push your lame ass “bi pride” despite (in your own words) having no romantic, sexual or relationship interests in females. The fact that I (and many other people) see sense of self and orientation as a spectrum, as something more individual, and as stuff that goes way beyond mere attraction and cis/trans genders- it really seems get your g-string in a bundle. That’s probably because it threatens your own sense of self and “label pride”. Once again, a reflection of the most corny kind of “bi guy”. I still fvck chicks on occasion, and I still know better than to connect with mofos like yourself. Aka dudes who present themselves as “cool” but ultimately have very fragile egos and senses of self and are fairly content with the status quo.
Josh447
As always you slide off the rails going completely off topic with baseless hot air yammer. I challenge you to back up every statement you’ve made with basis in fact. I can back up my statements. Why can’t you?
Now get those training wheels back on, jump back on track and reread my comments. Let’s hear some on topic action oriented replies instead of hot noxious gas. And for God’s sake remove that hot air balloon you have so meticulously attached to your kneck. You won’t get far believing that is actually your brain.
Josh447
Since it’s your pattern to disappear when in the line of fire getting called out for proof of your blather. I’ll say a prequel tah. You just don’t have the chops to stick with it.
Donston
I’m right here. And it’s never a line of fire, more like cute bubbles in the air.
I have no problem going back and forth with anybody. You should know that by now. But I also got folks to take of. So, spending days going back and forth on days old articles isn’t ideal. And there really isn’t any non-shady and purposeless way of engaging with you. Whenever you attempt to “call me out” you don’t really attempt to combat or pick apart anything I say. You don’t even really support your perspective. All you do is throw shade, make lame jokes and basically call someone pretentious or say I should go to some forum to discuss “that stuff”. Even in your comments under this article you’re not really saying that I’m wrong and why I’m wrong. Instead, you’re basically saying, “why do you always wanna get so deep into everything and why do you keep pushing certain agendas?” Yet, almost one-third of this site’s articles reflect the stuff I’m talking about, or becomes reflected in the comment section before I even post. And much of what I’ve been talking about for a while is becoming more mainstream and widely discussed, even on this site.
We just have different agendas, a different approach to discussion, and different ideas when it comes to social and sexual politics, identity, sense of self, and what “progress” actually looks like. I don’t even disagree with most of what you say most of the time. And I do take issue with a lot of “trends” and developments. But I also understand and sympathize with where a lot of this stuff is coming from, and I think most things are worth engaging with and trying to understand even if I don’t agree. I tend to approach things from a intellectual and thorough standpoint, which I admit isn’t always welcoming. But better that than bitchiness, flippancy and refusal to even engage. And I don’t assume I have all the answers. I’m always evolving my stances on things. My perspective is honesty, evolution and individualism within the realm of reason and practicality. Your perspective is pushing the status quo with minor adjustment.
curiobi
… should Josh447 and Donston just meet, bone and get it over with? Gasp… did I say that out loud ;D
Donston
Perhaps.

Haha tres funny however I’m “sapiosexual”, which puts that idea dead in the water. Tho fun humor nonetheless.

—————————————
If you want VIPs to show up to listen, I don’t’ think you charge them.
The Aaron Carter posts were kind of funny in a car crash kind of way. Now they’re just sad, like watching somebody self destruct and knowing there is a very good chance their not going to make it.

some day in the future—after he has recovered from whatever is ailing him right now—he’s gonna want to remove that tattoo, and the laser tattoo removal procedure is gonna be a helluva lot more painful and a helluva lot more expensive than the tattoo was
Vince
Ok listened to the song love. Not bad. Very synthesized though and over produced if you like that. Most of his hits are from when he was a child and if you’re an actual adult probably not very relatable. The rest is crap IMO.
Brian
There is no “most” of his hits. He’s had exactly 2 songs make the chart in his entire career, one reached #35, the other #96.
Josh447
One sick pup. Got no time for him.
hayesj
Hubris is not pretty and neither is that tattoo.
paul dorian lord fredine
he should be more precise and say ‘the biggest thing’ is the biggest NOTHING.
ShiningSex
Still denying he’s someone. Still denying his sexuality. Still denying his drug problem and now the douche has an ugly face tattoo. Face tattoos are gross.
jlogb
Well said! I always thought he was sexy… then the wheels came off.
phtdesign
oh dear – look up crystal meth in the dictionary and the defintion would be this poor guy’s face – i know from personal experience. and he should have gotten a better tattoo artist at least, he is pitiable. very tragic
Rex Huskey
I thought he died already
masterwill7
Well, I don’t think this will take very long for you can report a funeral Queerty.. This guy is definitely lost!
JfromUK
So I thought I’d go and listen to the new album (for a laugh) It’s surprisingly good. Whatever hell you’re going through A, whatever hell being a child star did there’s no denying your talent. The album is great. Before‘ shade’ is thrown my way (I think that’s the current vernacular) I don’t know him, am not a ‘fan’ and have no particular axe to grind. But as the great British queen once said ‘listen without prejudice’ George Michael not her maj) x
acgogoacgogo
A cautionary tale for those that think crystal is harmless fun. Party on, boys. You see your future in his face.
gavo92
I only know him because he tweeted Beyonce, which was random LMFAO.
nm4047
why do sites like queerty give these clowns publicity. I’m not aware of anything that puts this guy up there as a gay new worthy event. Will say (generalising) that like many that seek the attention of the gay community, in private they would be making very derogatory comments about gays.
Tombear
That tatt made a handsome guy ugly!
ShowMeGuy
Bless his heart.

People can do what they want to do with their skin, but that was a really poor choice. It’s hideous, IMO, but if he’s happy with it I guess it’s all that matters. Biggest thing in music, however? What a joke.

He may be comorbid or dual diagnosis in other words. He has delusions of grandeur and he’s apparently homicidal. He needs help bad. Addiction is mental illness, and he may be bipolar, which may be common knowledge, but I’m unaware. Sad. It’s frightening to have psychosis. I’m not an addict, but I have bipolar 1 disorder. I’m on disability. People are cruel to people who are obviously mentally ill, yet in other neurological disease, treatment is different. If he had Alzheimer’s disease type dementia would people be so mean? If they are, they are sociopaths or psychopaths themselves. I hope he gets help, before it’s too late.
