Aaron Carter’s pal urges Justin Bieber to ‘seek help’ after his behavior mirrors late star’s final days

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber’s recent social media activity has alarmed fans, and now a close friend of the late Aaron Carter shares serious concerns.

Carter’s close friend, Gary Madatyan, has reportedly seen troubling similarities between the 'Sorry' singer’s recent demeanor and the erratic behavior Carter displayed before his tragic death.

Aaron Carter’s friend warns ‘someone needs to save’ Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber, 30, recently posted a series of concerning clips, including videos of himself rapping and smoking from a bong, random images of birds, and an unusual photo of his wife, Hailey Bieber.

These cryptic posts led Gary Madatyan and fans to draw comparisons between Bieber and Carter, who exhibited similarly erratic behavior just days before his untimely death in November 2022 at the age of 34.

In an exclusive interview with Radar Online, Madatyan expressed deep concern for Bieber’s well-being.

"I see Justin in the same situation Aaron was in. When I look at these pictures, it's reminding me of Aaron," Madatyan revealed.

"I think someone needs to jump in and save this kid's life before it's too late."

Madatyan, recalling his efforts to help Carter before it was too late, pleaded for someone to step in for Bieber. "Someone professional has to jump in and save his life because he's not getting better, he's getting worse," he said.

Fans draw eerie resemblance to Aaron Carter’s final days

Aaron Carter, best known for 'Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)' and 'I Want Candy', was found unresponsive in the bathtub of his California home.

Months later, in April 2023, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled his death as accidental.

Days before his death, Carter appeared to be in poor shape during an Instagram Live performance, a moment that many Bieber fans have compared to the pop star’s recent livestream.

In the clips, Bieber appeared gaunt and hollow-eyed, shirtless as he played demo songs for fans.

In another clip, he held the camera close to his face, rapped shirtless, and reminded viewers of Aaron Carter.

Another wrote, "I’m sorry but Justin Bieber really IS on the Aaron Carter fast rack.. and quite possibly with the same culprit behind it all.."

"Justin Bieber on live acting like Aaron Carter," one comment read. 

"Justin Bieber is giving me Aaron vibes," said another viewer. 

"Justin Bieber is acting like Aaron Carter was before he passed. Someone in his inner circle check on that boy," one more person wrote.

"Justin Bieber is turning into Aaron Carter right before our eyes… s**t sad," commented another.

"I hate to say it, but this reminds me of when Aaron Carter was crashing out. Justin needs help," one comment read.

Aaron Carter’s friend expresses concern for Hailey Bieber

Gary Madatyan also expressed sympathy for Hailey Bieber, who he believes is carrying an immense burden amid her husband’s struggles.

"I feel terrible for Hailey, she is going through a lot right now, with the baby, his mental health," he shared. "It's very hard for people to deal with someone with a mental health issue."

Though neither Justin nor Hailey has publicly announced a pregnancy, Madatyan’s comment suggests that the couple may be expecting, adding another layer of complexity to an already difficult situation.

Dark side of childhood fame

Justin Bieber and Aaron Carter share eerily similar paths, both rising to fame young and facing industry pressures. Both have also dealt with legal troubles, public scrutiny, and battles with substance abuse over the years.

Madatyan pointed out other Hollywood figures who have suffered under the weight of early fame.

"Same thing happened to Nicolas Cage's son, he has mental health issues," he said. "You're not helping your son, you're making his life worse. This is about mental health."

He also referenced Britney Spears, who faced years of public struggles, multiple hospitalizations, and a 14-year conservatorship due to her mental health challenges.

"Never judge someone. When people have mental health issues, you might not know about it, but you cannot judge people if you don't know what they are going through," Madatyan explained.

In the same light, one fan pointed out, "Justin Bieber on the verge to becoming the next Britney Spears."
