Aaron Carter and Nick Carter, with tweet by Aaron about being served restraining orders from Nick


Late last night, Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter revealed that he and his sister Angel have filed a restraining order against their brother, former teen heartthrob/recording artist Aaron. Nick claimed the decision came after Aaron threatened his pregnant wife and unborn child, an allegation Aaron has denied.


The news was initially broken by Aaron Carter, who tweeted about being served with the papers:

I got myself the help I needed and now I’m getting my mother the help she needs. @thedoctorstv going to rehab saved me, and I Know they can do the same for her @TheDoctors



Aaron also took the opportunity to put Nick on blast for his reprehensible behavior in the past:



Aaron was definitely done pulling his punches after multiple BSB fans started tweeting at him telling him to back off. His biggest bombshell was dredging up Nick's past violence towards women, including his high-profile ex, Paris Hilton. He also brought up the names of women who have accused Nick of raping them when they were minors:
