Aaron Carter bullied by fan

On June 22, 2017, singer Aaron Carter was hospitalized for health issues following an incident where he was body-shamed by a fan. The former child star had recently performed at the HOT 107.9 concert in Syracuse, where some attendees began criticizing his thin appearance.

According to reports at the time, the conflict began when Carter took to social media to discuss an unpleasant encounter. He revealed that he had overheard a female fan and her friends talking about him, allegedly saying that he looked like he had cancer and needed to eat cheeseburgers because he was too skinny. Carter wrote on Twitter that they would not stop bullying him, stating that he was being bullied and body-shamed by the world.

In response to the criticism, Carter engaged with the users online, tweeting that he had already addressed his medical issues and adding that he was sorry he was not fat enough. He addressed those projecting negativity and speaking cruel words, writing that all children of God are lovely, whether they are tall, short, thick, or thin.

Hours after the confrontation, Carter returned to Twitter to share that he had gone to an emergency room for a check-up. He explained to his followers that his recent concert schedule had been intense and he needed to make sure he stayed strong, leaving his exact medical status after the hospital visit unspecified.
