It has often been said that family and business don’t mix. We have a number of celebrities on this list who would definitely agree with that statement. Many of them, when they were first starting out in Hollywood, decided to employ their parents as their managers; however, as time passed, they changed their minds. Rather than keep their family on the payroll, these celebrities made the bold decision to fire their parents and find help elsewhere. We decided to look at 7 celebrities who fired their parents. Take a look:
7. Aaron Carter
In 2003, Aaron Carter fired his mother as his manager and sought legal emancipation from her after he noticed some financial discrepancies. Prior to his parents divorce, his career had been managed by both of them for about a decade; however, once they separated and his father moved on, his mother took over. “I feel betrayed by my own mother,” Carter said. “All these problems started when she booted my dad. I worked hard for months and I come home and owe money!”
