We don't often say this about celebrities, but ... Aaron Carter has had a pitiable life in many ways.
Child stars often have a hard time, both when it comes to coping with adulthood and dealing with their families.
Aaron isn't just no exception -- he is a grim example of both of those struggles.
This time, he isn't making headlines directly over his paranoia or mental health struggles.
Last week, Aaron and his fiancee Melanie Martin welcomed their child, Prince, via emergency C-section.
This week, in a lengthy Twitter threat, Aaron is declaring that things are over between him and Melanie.
His hurt feeliings are very real.
Describing why he feels betrayed by Melanie, Aaron had something else to add.
According to him, she's leaving him and taking their son to Las Vegas, where she plans to move in with Larissa Lima's ex-friend Carmen Nys.
This is not the 90 Day Fiance crossover that anyone asked for, but apparently, it's what we're getting.
Take a look at Aaron's many heartbroken tweets ... and check out Carmen's response at the end. Oof.
1. Aaron Carter has some rough news
The week after Thanksgiving is an especially rough time to go through a breakup, especially in a relationship as serious as an engagement. But Aaron and Melanie weren't just engaged -- they're both parents of a newborn baby, Prince. Just days after the emergency C-section, things have taken a bitter turn.
2. At the center of it all is family drama
It is no secret that Aaron is fiercely estranged from many of his relatives, including his famous brother, Nick Carter. Aaron used his platform to boost Nick's accusers who courageously came forward to share their #MeToo stories about Nick. There are also restraining orders out against Aaron from multiple members of his family, including his sister, Angel.
3. So what happened?
Aaron doesn't speak to Angel (among others), but his fiancee Melanie had maintained (allegedly) a secret correspondence with Angel for two years. Apparently, this week, she came clean.
4. Is this part of a pattern?
According to Aaron, this is not the first time that she has either tried to sabotage his current relationship or bond with his exes. That sounds like odd behavior if it's true, though we don't know Angel's version of events or explanation.
5. It's over
In one of only two "normal" tweets in a lengthy series of posts that he made across two days, Aaron posted that he and his fiancee Melanie have broken up despite the recent birth of their son.
6. Aaron primarily blames his family
It's certainly true that he has seen the inside of a courtroom more than once in legal struggles with relatives. Restraining orders aren't just a personal choices -- even when they're the right call, they can change what jobs someone gets or where they can live because it becomes part of their record.
