Former child star Aaron Carter has claimed Michael Jackson was “inappropriate” with him.
In a clip from Carter’s upcoming appearance on US reality show Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars Family Edition, Carter brought up an alleged “inappropriate” experience with the late singer.
However, he does not give much detail or an explanation of what happened.
“Michael was a really good guy, as far as I know a really good guy,” Carter said. “He never did anything that was inappropriate, except for one time. There was one thing that he did that was a little bit inappropriate.”

Following the release of Leaving Neverland, the four-hour film that details allegations of abuse by the late singer, Carter defended Jackson.
In the film, Wade Robson, 36, who was acquainted with Jackson during a dance competition aged five, and James Safechuck, 42, who featured with the deceased singer in a Pepsi commercial, are interviewed about the abuse they claim happened to them as pre-teens in the 1980s and 90s.
In March, Carter told TMZ the men were “stomping on an icon and a legend’s grave” by coming forward with their accusations against Jackson, questioning why they hadn’t come forward while Jackson was alive.
He said his experience, which included sleeping in Jackson’s bedroom as a 15-year-old, with the pop star was “gentle and beautiful and loving and embracing”.

This is so irritating. Child molesters don’t molest every child they come into contact with. Just like male rapists don’t rape very woman that comes into their life. Or murders don’t murder every person who enters their home. So saying - I stayed there for years without anything happening to me so I don’t believe that’s the truth’, is completely worthless.
