NICK CARTER: ‘PARIS WAS A HORRIBLE INFLUENCE’

In his new memoir, ‘Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It’, Carter says Paris Hilton and her famous partying were a bad influence.
“Paris was the worst person in the world for me to hook up with,” Carter says in the memoir.
Nick says that the party loving socialite (who was arrested for cocaine possession in 2010) “fed my worst impulses as far as partying” during their seven month relationship in 2003 and 2004.
“I could’ve ended up a tragedy,” he said. “During the height of my problems, I did ecstasy, cocaine and drank a large bottle of vodka a night.”
The bottle blonde pair broke up after Carter admitted to cheating on Paris with Ashlee Simpson.

Nick continued to struggle with drug and alcohol abuse for ten years, but made a decision to sober up after he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 2008.
“(I told myself) I don’t want to die,” he said in an interview in 2009. “I don’t want to be that person people read about and think, ‘That’s sad that he couldn’t stop it and killed himself.'”
The singer has been sober for the past five years, but reveals in his memoir that his biggest regret is the amount of ecstasy he took.
“The amount I did caused changes to my brain that are responsible for my bouts of depression now,” he writes.
Nick is not the only member of the Carter family to struggle with substance abuse – his younger brother Aaron is thought to have had a stint in rehab, while his sister Leslie tragically passed away in January 2012 after a suspected prescription drug overdose.
