Hilary Duff slams 'unauthorized' Aaron Carter tell-all book that claims she lost her virginity to him when she was 13

• Hilary Duff has blasted an unauthorized memoir set to be released following Aaron Carter's death.
• The book claims the pair lost their virginity to each other when they were as young as 13 in 2000.

Both Hilary Duff and representatives for Aaron Carter have spoken out against an unauthorized tell-all book about the star, which is set to be published just 10 days after his death.

A biography, titled "Aaron Carter: An Incomplete Story of an Incomplete Life," has been written by Andy Symonds, who, according to NBC Today, was working on the book with Carter for more than three years before his untimely death at the age of 34 on Saturday, November 5.

The book — set to be released by Ballast Books on November 15, 2022 — alleges that Carter and Duff, who met in 2000 and dated on and off until 2003, lost their virginities to each other in a Los Angeles hotel on what Carter believes was the "Lizzie McGuire" star's 13th birthday.

An excerpt obtained by the New York Post reads: "Hilary and I lost our virginity to each other at a hotel… in LA. I think it was her birthday, maybe her 13th [September 28, 2000], but I don't remember. Her friends walked in, and we just yelled at them to get out."

Reacting to the news of the book's contents and imminent release, Duff, who previously shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute to the late star, released a statement to E! News.

"It's really sad that within a week of Aaron's death there's a publisher that seems to be recklessly pushing a book out to capitalize on this tragedy without taking appropriate time or care to fact-check the validity of his work," she wrote.

She continued: "To water down Aaron's life story to what seems to be unverified clickbait for profit is disgusting. In no way do I condone shedding any light on what is so obviously an uninformed, heartless, money grab."

On Thursday, Aaron's management team also issued a response to the New York Post, which began by thanking Duff for speaking out.

"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 the few short days following our dear friend's passing we have been trying to grieve and process while simultaneously having to deal with obscenely disrespectful and unauthorized releases."

"This is a time for mourning and reflection, not heartless money grabs and attention seeking," it added.

The statement concluded with a request that "nothing else be released without approval from his family, friends, and associates."

TMZ first reported Carter's death on Saturday, citing multiple unnamed sources in law enforcement. The outlet reported that his body was found in the bathtub of his California home, with sources telling the publication that authorities received a 911 call around 11 a.m.

A representative for Aaron's management company also confirmed to Insider that the singer had died.

Carter's official cause of death has not been announced yet, but a source familiar with the investigation told The Los Angeles Times that authorities found evidence of compressed air and pills near Carter's body.
