Aaron Carter 'claims brother hit Paris'

Aaron Carter has apparently claimed that his big brother Nick assaulted Paris Hilton.

Rumours that the hotel heiress and the Backstreet Boys singer parted on less than good terms last year began after Paris was spotted sporting bruises around the time of their split.

Nick vehemently denied the insinuation that he had beaten her, but now his brother is seemingly telling a different story. "He hit her," FOX News channel quote Aaron as saying, "and he hit me."
