The tribute also delved into the substance abuse tragedies that their family has endured over the years.

Conrad expressed her understanding of the circumstances that led to their struggles, attributing it to the pain and trauma they experienced during their childhood.

Conrad urged people to visit @onoursleevesofficial to learn more about getting involved and being there for loved ones.

Concluding her tribute, Conrad expressed her love for Bobbie Jean and stated that she is now free. On the previous day, their mother, Jane Carter, released a statement to TMZ announcing Bobbie Jean's death. Jane expressed shock and the need for time to process the reality of losing her daughter for the third time. She also asked for prayers for her 8-year-old granddaughter Bella, who has now lost her mother as well as her father.

The circumstances surrounding Bobbie Jean's death remain unclear. However, sources close to the Carter family revealed that she was in Florida when she went into cardiac arrest and passed away. It was reported that she had struggled with addiction throughout her life. The Carter family has been open about their struggles, as showcased in their reality TV show "House of Carters," which aired in 2006.

Bobbie Jean's life took a tragic turn when she was arrested in June 2023 for allegedly attempting to steal merchandise from a Florida Hobby Lobby. During questioning, she reportedly threw a powder-blue container, which later tested positive for fentanyl, under the manager's desk in a state of panic. She faced charges of retail theft and possession of a controlled substance, to which she pleaded guilty in November.

Bobbie Jean's death follows the loss of her brother Aaron Carter, who passed away in November the previous year. Aaron's cause of death was determined to be accidental drowning in his bathtub due to the effects of inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam. The Carter family had also experienced the devastating loss of Leslie Carter, who died from an overdose of prescription medication in 2012 at the age of 25.

The news of Bobbie Jean Carter's death has left her family and fans mourning yet another heartbreaking loss. The Carter family's struggles with substance abuse and mental health have shed light on the importance of breaking the cycle of generational dysfunction and providing support for those in need.
