Angel Carter Conrad, Aaron Carter’s twin sister, thinks she’s living today only because she was the “neglected” child. The youngest of her five siblings, Angel, is kin to Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter , who’s the oldest of the Carter clan, has now lost two sisters and one brother in drug-related deaths. Leslie Carter died at 25 in January 2012, a decade later, Aaron Carter died at 34 in November 2022, and Bobbie Jean Carter died at 41 in December 2023.
“I really think that from a young age, because I was neglected, it ultimately saved me,” Angel told the news outlet. Angel spoke with Page Six about her new Paramount+ documentary, The Carters: Hurts to Love You. The Soleil Moon Frye-directed doc premiered on the streaming platform on Tuesday.
“I spent a lot of time in social settings with my friends and their families, sitting around a dinner table, really talking about our day,” Angel divulged. She believes that her siblings weren’t able to experience the same kind of “normal” life compared to others. Angel and her siblings were raised by their mom, Jane Carter, and Bob Carter, who died in 2017 at 2025—she thinks Bob’s death from a heart attack was also drug-related.
The Carter children have been subjected to multigenerational dysfunction, substance abuse, mental illness, physical, emotional abuse, infidelity, and greed, according to Angel. Despite the existing trauma in the Carter family, Nick and Aaron managed to have successful music careers. Nick became famous at a young age, and his success inspired his little brother Aaron, who was diagnosed with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as an adult, to follow in his footsteps.
Bobbie Jean and Leslie were also gifted musically; however, Bob and Jane seemingly put the majority of their attention on the boys, who were the moneymakers. Angel shared that she always had a sense of “openness” and “a lot of respect and love for [her] elders,” which came in handy for her when she got to the most “pivotal” and “defining” moment of her life in 2006. “After we finished filming [the reality show] ‘House of Carters,’ the last day that we were in the house, Nick sat us all down in the living room, and he said, ‘Who wants to go to therapy? I will pay for it,'” she remembered.
Angel was the only one who raised her hand, she confessed, explaining she had genuine intentions to “break the cycle.” She divulged: “So I went to therapy, and Nick paid for me to go to therapy for almost a decade after,” she reveals. It really was a decade of intense therapy as an 18-year-old, 19-year-old, and then throughout my 20s, relearning everything.
” After The Carters doc premiered, many have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to share how “proud” they are of Angel for evolving for the better. “I knew it would be tough, but I couldn't have imagined how tough it would be,” one X user admitted. “I've never cried so much during a documentary.
I'm just incredibly proud of Nick and Angel. #TheCarters.” A second agreed: “Starting #TheCarters so proud of Angel for doing this for Aaron and of Nick for opening up.
