NICK Carter's sister Bobbie Jean died at age 41 on Saturday, December 23, after a troubled life struggling with addiction.

Bobbie's death comes after the passing of her siblings Leslie, who died in January 2012 at age 25, and her twin brother Aaron, who died in November 2022 at 34 years old.

In 2002, Bobbie Jean was arrested for battery and accused of assaulting two women.

She claimed the two women attacked her younger sister, Angel.

Bobbie Jean was the younger sister of Backstreet Boys singer Nick, 43, and the second of the five Carter children.

The Carter family's troubled lives were all documented on their E! reality show House of Carters which aired for one season in 2006.

LESLIE CARTER

In February of 2012, Aaron and Backstreet Boy's singer Nick's sister Leslie died due to a drug overdose at the age of 25.

As reported at the time of her passing by E!, the former House of Carter's star was found with three different prescription drugs near her body.

Olanzapine, which is used to treat schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the muscle relaxant Cyclobenzaprine, and the anxiety medication Xanax.

Per the police report, Leslie's stepmother found the former TV personality unresponsive at around 4:10 p.m. on Jan. 31 before immediately dialing 911.

Leslie and her daughter, Alyssa Jane, were living with her father, Robert, in Buffalo, New York, at the time of her death and she was in the process of trying to wean herself off her medication.

Robert performed CPR on her body to no avail as Leslie was pronounced dead at the hospital at 4:59 p.m.

ROBERT CARTER

Robert would pass away only five years later at the age of 65.

The family patriarch, who was better known as Bob, appeared alongside his sons on the previously mentioned E! reality series, House of Carters.

Nick was the first of the family to break the news when he Tweeted: "I am heartbroken to share the news that our father, Robert, passed away last night."

He continued, "While we learn more about the cause of death, and begin the grieving process, we ask that our privacy be respected at this difficult time."

Aaron took to the platform X, formerly Twitter, to open up about the heartbreaking news, writing: "My heart is completely shattered I'm in shock and I loved my dad so much."

The singer posted a photo of himself and his father on Instagram.

He captioned the post: "My heart is broken, we are so hurt we lost you poppa way too soon."

Aaron added: "You were never human to me, you were always my real-life superhero."

AARON CARTER

On November 5, 2022, Aaron was found dead in his bathtub in his Lancaster, California, home.

Aaron drowned after taking alprazolam and inhaling compressed difluoroethane, a propellant used in cans of compressed air, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

TMZ reported at the time that police believed Aaron's body was in the bathtub for a long time due to the smell of decomposition and the unnatural color of the water.

His fiancee Melanie Martin said that Aaron was acting strange before his death and "nothing of the last few days of his life added up to a normal pattern."

The autopsy report revealed that the former child star became "incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects" of the drugs, resulting in him slipping underneath the water and drowning.

His death was ruled accidental according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Melanie told The U.S. Sun: "I am not getting the closure I need because I don't buy it."

She added: "He was found with clothing on, the coroner told me, how would he have drowned with clothing on?

"I still have a lot more questions I would like answered regarding the police investigation."

BOBBIE JEAN CARTER

In December 2023, Nick and Aaron's sister Bobbie Jean died, as her mother, Jane, confirmed the news to TMZ.

Jane said: "I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean.

"And I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time.

"When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private."

She added: "However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater.

"So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."

The cause of death was not publicly disclosed at the time.

TROUBLE WITH THE LAW

In June 2023, Bobbie was arrested and charged with one count of retail theft and possession of fentanyl in Florida.

Bobbie allegedly stole six items from Hobby Lobby which totaled $55.32.

The troubled star was caught on store security cameras and, according to the report, she "grabbed her purse in panic, removing a powder blue container and tossing it underneath the loss prevention desk."

Reportedly, the container had 1.3 grams of white powder and 0.8 grams of blue powder which both tested positive for fentanyl.

She was placed on a $5,000 bond for the theft and a $2,000 bond for the substance possession.
