Speaking to Us Weekly, a source close to the situation said that Aaron’s brother, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter “really wants to help Aaron,” but the 29-year-old “doesn’t want anyone’s help.”
“The whole Carter family is concerned for Aaron. They’re worried,” the source added.
After the incident, Nick tweeted, “To my brother: I love u no matter what & if u feel the need to reach for help, I am here and willing to help you get better.”
Carter didn’t respond well to his brother’s tweet and fired back, saying that if Nick wanted to help he should have called instead of tweeting.
“Nick doesn’t have his phone number. Aaron blocks everyone and changes his number so none of his family can get in touch with him. He changes his number a lot,” the source claimed.

Carter responded to the claim in a statement to Us Weekly.
“I change my number often for security issues and in attempt to have a calm and less stressful life overall. Many often don’t respect that, but my current team does. Regarding Nick’s tweet and Lauren’s, they have the number I have now and weren’t blocked. Moving on,” Carter said.
In a television interview following his arrest, the pop star defended himself.
“I don’t need help. What I need is for people to understand that I’m human and I make mistakes just like every other human in this world, but I would never risk my life or my girlfriend’s life. I do not drink. Hire a polygraph person, a professional. Strap me up,” he said.
