Nick Carter's sorrow deepens as his 41-year-old sister, Bobbie Jean, joins their family's tragic roll call. Bobbie passed away on December 23rd in Florida, leaving her eight-year-old granddaughter, Bella, to grapple with the loss of both parents. The cause of Bobbie's death remains a mystery.
In a heartfelt statement, her mother, Jane Carter, expressed her shock and requested time to grieve. "The loss of a child is deeply painful, but when a young child faces the loss of both parents, the grief is unimaginably devastating," Jane expressed her sentiments, asking for compassion and prayers for Bella.
Bobbie's involvement in her brother's music industry was a Knoxville, Tennessee, staple. She served as a makeup artist and wardrobe stylist for Aaron Carter during his tours in the early 2000s, and graced eight episodes of their family's reality TV show, "House of Carters." The show provided a glimpse into the family's life, revealing Bobbie's battles with substance abuse.
Jane Carter further shared that Bobbie had a tumultuous relationship with addictive substances, facing multiple legal issues, including a shoplifting arrest and possession of fentanyl charges in 2023. Regardless, she managed to maintain a withdrawn private life in her later years.
The Carter family has faced an unparalleled string of tragedies. Only a year prior, Bobbie's brother Aaron Carter passed away at the age of 34, following an accidental drowning and drug overdose. Their sister Leslie also succumbed to an overdose in 2012, leaving behind a mourning family.
