This Saturday, the tragic news broke that actor/singer turned rapper Aaron Carter was found dead at his home in Lancaster, CA. Tributes to Aaron have flooded social media in the days since. Fashion designer and KFC Heiress, Kaila Methven, recently shared her recent video interview with Aaron exclusively with Press Pass LA and a statement honoring her friend.
Kaila Methven is currently filming her new show K’LA Afterdark and Aaron Carter was one of her recent guests. According to Metheven, the show is about love, relationship, sex, and everything in between. Kalia reached out to Press Pass LA to share the yet-released episode footage and a message in tribute to her friend, Aaron Carter.
“I just want the world to remember Aaron in a positive light. I read all the headlines and saw the photos and the videos the last few days. They were distasteful and it honestly broke my heart; so I would like to share this footage that we shot with the world, in honor of his son and his fiancée, Melanie.” said Methven.
“When I was speaking with my director, we felt Aaron Carter would be one of the perfect choices to be on the show. His manager Morgan was an absolute doll, and he arrived on set with his wife, Melanie, To be honest, he seemed perfectly sober. We were on a 12-hour shoot, Aaron was really super sweet with all the staff- he took pictures with everyone- he’s a really funny guy. Professionally, I have nothing negative to say at all. I know that he had suffered many problems in the past, but it was a completely different person that I interviewed; that’s why it’s so important for me to show the world, a different aspect of Aaron Carter. That’s what my show is really about, showing people what celebrities are really like, not what they are portrayed to be. We shot this episode August 7, in a studio in downtown Los Angeles. We were shooting the pilot for the television show, Aaron was even going to cohost the show; I was really excited about the idea, and so was he and Melanie. Unfortunately, he had to leave to go on tour, but we were going to meet right after to talk about pursuing the project together. There was a point we were going to actually record a song together and use it as a theme song once he returned from his tour. Aaron was really sweet, both him and Melanie invited me over to their house many times. They were a beautiful couple, no matter what some might say. They truly loved each other and when I spoke to Melanie, I could tell that she really loved him and they both really love their son. It’s really tragic to see somebody just leave overnight,” said Methven.
According to Methven, the show should be airing in early 2023 and is produced by Rajeev Dassani. Other guests on the show include Colton Ford (The Bachelor), Kim Lee (Bling Empire), Kevin Kreider (Bling Empire) and more.
