Aaron Carter’s management team issued a statement in support

Hilary Duff after she denied claims that she and Aaron Carter lost their virginities to each other

in the late star’s posthumous memoir.

“We as Aaron’s management would like to thank Hilary Duff for her statement

regarding the book that is set to be released,” Taylor Helgeson

of Big Umbrella Management, said in a statement to the New York Post

Helgeson calls the memoir — and other new releases,

including the album Blacklisted and a single “Lately” —

“obscenely disrespectful and unauthorized.”

“This is a time for mourning and reflection

not heartless money grabs and attention seeking,” the statement ends.
