Nick & Aaron Carter’s Sister Bobbie Jean Carter Passes Away At 41

Nick and Aaron Carter’s sister Bobbie Jean Carter has passed away. Their mother, Jane Carter, confirmed the news to TMZ.

“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.”

“[H]owever 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.”

Bobbie passed away Saturday morning in Florida, TMZ reported. The cause of her death is unknown at this time.

Bobbie Jean, who was also known as BJ, was somewhat involved in the family’s music business amid the height of her brothers’ careers. She served as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist during Aaron’s tours back in the early 2000s.

She also appeared on the family’s E! reality TV show, “House of Carters,” but as of late, Bobbie Jean lived a relatively private life in obscurity, shying away from the spotlight.

The family has endured tragedies, with the loss of Aaron last year and sister Leslie in 2012.
