Nick Carter gets restraining order against brother Aaron over his 'increasingly alarming behavior'
Nick Carter has sought law enforcement’s help in protecting his family from his brother, Aaron Carter.
In a tweet Tuesday, the Backstreet Boys singer announced that he was obtaining a restraining order against Aaron because of his “increasingly alarming behavior.” Nick also said his brother had confessed to having thoughts about harming Nick’s pregnant wife, Lauren.
Nick said the siblings love Aaron and “hope he gets the proper treatment he needs” before anyone gets hurt.

The singer retweeted several messages from fans and answered questions about the fraught situation.
I’ll be just fine without them. They need to leave me alone. Michael Jackson told me this was gonna happen and he was right. https://t.co/7F6Oy9frt2

Absolutely. I’m not falling into any traps. They’re looking for me to show signs of aggression. https://t.co/oLVTi7bxjM

The order, which TMZ obtained, requires that Aaron stay 100 feet from Nick and his family members.
During an appearance last week on The Doctors, Aaron said that, officially, he suffers from “multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety and [he’s] manic depressive.” He said he takes medication to treat his conditions.
Aaron filed for a restraining order of his own just last month. He said his ex-girlfriend, Lina Valentina, had recently threatened to stab him and had physically abused him during their relationship.
On Monday, he told TMZ Live that cops had visited his home the previous night with plans to take him in on a psychiatric hold. Aaron said he let them know he had multiple guns and convinced them that he was OK. He said it was their eighth visit to his home in two weeks to check on his mental health.
