Not since champagne and caviar have two things paired so magically as a half-naked mirror selfie and an inspirational quote. Aaron Carter knows this. He gets it.
The 33-year-old “bisexual” “rapper” turned amateur adult film star took to Instagram this week to show off his…well…we’re not exactly sure what he’s trying to show off here.
And like a true social media sommelier, he paired his shot with: “My success isn’t a result of arrogance, it’s a result of belief,” quoting the Irish fighter Conor McGregor.
You can see the full photo here, unless it’s already been deleted by Instagram’s censors.
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.
Fans were a bit perplexed by the post, offering commentary such as:
- “Aaron’s party come get it I guess”
- “There’s still time to delete this”
- “Ma’am this is a Wendy’s”
The post isn’t much of a departure for Carter, who has recently launched accounts on OnlyFans and CamSoda, a popular adult live-streaming site.
The former child star made his return to music in 2018 with this sixth studio album, LØVË.
Ahead of its release, he came out as bisexual in a now-deleted Twitter post, writing:
“There’s something I’d like to say that I feel is important for myself and my identity that has been weighing on my chest for nearly half of my life,” Carter originally wrote. “I grew up in the entertainment industry at a very young age, and when I was around 13-years-old I started to find boys and girls attractive.”
He later backtracked, stating on the Hollywood Life podcast that his coming out was “a little misconstrued” and clarifying that, “it was more so just a story that happened when I was, like, 17 with somebody.”
“I can find men and women attractive, but when it comes down to it, I think it was a little misconstrued. I see myself being with a woman and having kids.”
Carter was engaged to social media personality Melanie Martin, but the two broke up last year.

He falls under the: ‘Say sh*t without thinking or regard to consequence. Spin, deflect, deny. Rinse and Repeat so long as generates PR’. What you say or write is not important, what you meant does not matter. Just make noise to seem relevant.
Even if only to yourself.

I think it’s called a mangina.

What a mess.

Aaron clearly has some severe mental health and drug problems and has had those issues for a while. I almost feel it’s pointless to give such an irrelevant, delusional train wreck attention just to make fun of them. It feels cruel.
As far as the “coming out” fiasco, a lot of that is on the media and people on social media who are obsessed with people’s sex lives and sexualities and identities and make a big deal out of “coming out” and every little thing a public person says. Did he mainly pseudo “come out” for attention and some press? Probably. But he never really embraced a “bi” identity. Folks just threw that at him. Furthermore, at least he admitted to some same-sex attractions and having some same-sex crushes and affections. This site has recently promoted and praised Tyler Posey when all he did was sorta admit to sucking dick. Tyler has used vague “queerness”, bare minimum and baity “gay” behaviors, and sex appeal to promote himself and his scammy OnlyFans account. Yet, the media mostly has no smoke for him. This is also a site that constantly hypes up “straight” guys who indulge homo behaviors or admit to being not entirely inherently hetero. The media really needs to be consistent with what and who they criticize, praise and promote.
(I’m gonna keep hopping on the soapbox. “Sexuality” is made up of a bunch of different things and is very individual. Everyone’s “sexuality” is unique to them. Experimentation, fluidity and contradictions are real experiences for some. The gender, romantic, sexual, affection, emotional investment, commitment spectrum is wide and varied. While trauma, mental health, ego, general psyche, resentments, sociology, religion, opportunity and money will always play big roles in what many people do and how they present themselves. And everyone has their own journey and motivations).
But yes, Aaron is a whole mess.

Well-stated.. the last sentence sums it up.
Jbaltes
Is there ANYONE more irrelevant? Why he continues to get publicity is a real puzzler! Guess there is a real shortage of things to cover!
paul dorian lord fredine
oh, gawd, those face tattoos. AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!
Mack
Agree
Michael1500
Seriously, can somebody explain to me how this wormy-looking, bleached-out gutted snowbird ever became a “celebrity” item? He’s not just unattractive—- he’s GROSS.
Creamsicle
He got seeded into the Hollywood Production Machine at around 9 or 10-years old because of his older brother, but apparently whatever entertainment does to drive people crazy, they did it to Aaron twice, cause the boy is a mess.
Cam
It’s just kind of sad, I think we all know the problems with what he’s saying, but I really feel like he could benefit from some therapy and maybe rehab and I’ll leave it at that.
Heywood Jablowme
You’re so forgiving. But I’m guessing the multiple screen names in your head feel the same way about you, Cam.
Kevan1
I am sorry, I do not know how anyone can take him seriously on anything. I hope that someday he gets his sh_t together.
Joseph1971
Excuse me, Aaron who?

At this point, it seems that Aaron Carter has some mental health issues and I don’t think it’s compassionate to make fun of him. It’s not like he’s going off on a homophobic rant so unless that happens lets show some kindness.
Donston
I mostly agree with this. There really is no point in going at him any longer besides clicks and to make yourself feel superior.

Well, said!
Phillip
One look and I would stay away, but listening to him speak; I’d RUN away! lol!
nm4047
why does this website constantly promote guys that have a pay site? I think they most likely gain more from these non (gay agenda) articles than they do from their own failed publicity.
renzinthewoods
I was able to find a non pixilated version…look carefully. He’s not flashing his penis…that’s just a small portion of his scrotum with his penis dressed left still under the fabric. Not particularly erotic. Yawn.
SeanBear
He obviously has mental health issues that effects every aspect of his personality. His issues remind me of Amy Weinhouse. She had anorexia, substance abuse, rocky relationships and was bisexual. I hope he does not end up like she did, unfortunately if he does not work on his mental health he could end up like she did.

Folks- there are people who are truly mentally ill and deserve care and our sympathy and simple fame whores who are stupid. Aaron is the latter. Let’s move on now.
Donston
Uh, you can be a “fame whore” and be mentally ill. One does not cancel out the other. While most here are just pointing out that it no longer make sense to keep publishing articles about this dude. Rather you think he’s a “fame whore”, mentally ill, a drug addict, irrelevant or some combination of those things, it doesn’t make sense to post articles promoting him and making of him. While Aaron hasn’t done anything to deserve all the shady articles “queer media” has written about him the past couple years. There have been quite a few more problematic and parasitic male public figures that this site and others promotes and praises.
RTG
Donston- one can indeed be a fame whore and mentally ill. However, my point was that I don’t believe he’s mentally ill. He’s merely driven by an overwhelming need for attention and has no actual talent to justify receiving attention. People will do very stupid things to attract attention and unfortunately this blog sees fit to give him space. That’s the last thing Queerty should be doing.
Donston
The evidence says otherwise. He got bone thin several years ago. He speaks in a stutter and with no confidence. It’s apparent that he was molested by Ron Pearlman (and maybe others). He was forced into the spotlight at a young age and indulged promiscuity and drugs at a very young age then quickly lost all his money and opportunity.
He may be a “fame whore” and may be manipulative, but he’s also clearly has “issues”. It can be both, and it frequently is.
Cozmo2
He’s gross
arie570
I agree with Donstons last comment I think he is both. I think he craved the attention because his brother was a much bigger star being in the Backstreet Boys. It just blossomed from there and I think he truly has a problem now.
howardmarc
Pure garbage. Don’t use the LGBTQ Community as your way of getting attention. Using the community for attention is just a stupid thing to do. #decide
GayEGO
Well Aaron, I have friends who got married, even had children, and got divorced because they were gay. I avoided getting attached to a woman, my willy went to sleep and did not perk up until I was attached to a man!
Donston
People really need to learn to stop taking their experiences, dimensions and journeys and thinking that they reflect everyone. There are dudes in homo commitments now who are more prone to get hard for women. There are many folks who are hyper sexual or sexually sensitive and can get hard over practically anything. There are people who don’t really get aroused at all. Sexual attraction, arousal, desire, passion, comfort, enjoyment, fetishes, paraphilics are all different things. Who you like pleasing and who you want pleasuring you are different things. Some people experience degrees of fluidity or contradictions. Others do not. That doesn’t even really touch on the gender, romantic, affection, emotional investment, relationship contentment aspect of things. While trauma, mental health, sociology and social expectation, religion, family, money and ego will always play big roles in what a lot of people do and how they present themselves.
Things may be fairly straightforward for you, but that’s not the case for everyone. Not nearly.

This dude has issues, that said I think he would look better if he gained some weight. What is it with all these wanna bes and looking malnourished.

I happened to see him “sing” at the Oregon State Fair once. I think it was in the early 90’s. Apparently the “Auto-tune” machine wasn’t working. It was also free to anyone at the fair. Yeah…it was that bad.
