Hilary Duff is not okay with Aaron Carter’s unfinished memoir being released.
Aaron had been writing the memoir at the time of his death this month. It is titled “Aaron Carter: An Incomplete Story Of An Incomplete Life” and was co-written with Andy Symonds. It is set for release on November 15.
The New York Post reported that the late star addressed his relationship with Hilary in the book. He claimed that he and Hilary lost their virginities to each other at the age of 13.
Now Hilary, who had paid tribute to her former boyfriend following his death, is denouncing the release of the memoir. She referred to it as “heartless” and a “money grab,” telling Daily Mail:
“It’s really sad that within a week of Aaron’s death, there’s a publisher that seems to be recklessly pushing a book out to capitalize on this tragedy without taking appropriate time or care to fact check the validity of his work.”
She went on to strongly declare:
“To water down Aaron’s life story to what seems to be unverified click-bait for profit is disgusting.
In no way do I condone shedding any light on what is so obviously an uninformed, heartless money grab.”
Aaron’s reps spoke out about the release of the unfinished memoir, thanking Hilary for her words and denouncing the memoir as well:
“We as Aaron’s management would like to thank Hilary Duff for her statement regarding the book that is set to be released.
In the few short days following our dear friend’s passing we have been trying to grieve and process while simultaneously having to deal with obscenely disrespectful and unauthorized releases, including an album titled ‘Blacklisted,’ a single titled ‘Lately,’ and now a book.
This is a time for mourning and reflection not heartless money grabs and attention seeking. We would ask the parties responsible to remove the aforementioned content and that no further content be released without approval from his family, friends, and associates.”
