’80s And ’90s Stars Who Turned To Crime

He Can’t Seem To Escape Trouble

In July 2017, Carter was arrested again in Georgia for driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. However, the former child star singer appeared on Entertainment Tonight to defend himself, saying that he wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol and also revealing his deeper struggles. He said, “It hurts real bad because people don’t know me, and I have no control over it, and this is the way I am… I don’t need help. What I need is for people to understand that I’m human and that I make mistakes just like every other human in this world…” He has since also revealed that he is estranged from his brother Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys and that he is bisexual.
