Carter has been open about his struggles with eating disorders and substance abuse and was arrested in mid-July on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession.

Saying he never wants to be a “figure of disappointment,” Carter concluded with a quote from Boy George he said summed up his feelings: “I’ve neveer felt as though I didn’t belong, I just acted as though I did.”
