Aaron Carter files for bankruptcy, is $2 million in debt
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 25 November 2013
Grown pop manchild Aaron Carter has filed for bankruptcy. The ‘Crazy Little Party Girl’ hitmaker visited a court in Florida recently in a bid to discharge himself from mainly historic, ten-year old debts, back from “when he was a minor and not in control of his own finances”, his publicist Steve Honig told The Hollywood Reporter.
As previously reported, Carter ran into hard financial times back in 2009, when it emerged that he owed the US tax office over $1 million. More recently, calculates CNN, he’s managed to double his debts, whilst having only $917 in his bank account. Oh dear.
In spite of all that, and those “emotional and spiritual” – and substance abuse – issues he went through in 2011, Honig says Carter – who’s on tour right now – has been “completely clean for quite some time” and is “working his ass off”. Good to know.
