Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has opened up to Usmagazine.com about his mother's arrest on Thursday.
"I love my mother and offer her my full support in these unfortunate circumstances," Carter tells Us.
Jane Carter was booked after she failed to appear in a Florida court for a hearing about her divorce from John Holcomb, according to TMZ.com.

Among the accusations, Jane is accused of trashing their former residence.
An order was issued for her arrest after she skipped the hearing. She was arrested at a ceremony in Sumter County, FL, where she was working for a
construction company.
Nick and his brother Aaron cut Jane – their former manager out of their lives in 2005, claiming she was more concerned with money then being a mom.
"I think, mainly what we're saying now, is that we were starved for that attention, of a motherly figure," Carter told 20/20.

But a source close to Nick - who is now based in Nashville, Tennessee, tells Us the singer is now on speaking terms with Jane.
"He's been mending his relationship with his mom for quite some time and that he is in such a healthy, productive place in his life, looking better than ever," the insider tells Us. "He's focused on the current Backstreet Boys tour and in studio writing with hit-makers including Desmond Child and Jeffrey Steele for both Backstreet Boys and his solo project.
Tell Us: Are you looking forward to a Nick Carter comeback?

I feel a bit sorry for all the Carter kids. Both their parents are complete douches. They pawned the two boys out since they were young kids.

What a family of winners! Jebus!

How terrible for the Carter kids to have such selfish, asshole parents.

Didn't one of the sisters have a very short, very failed attempt at a singing career, too?

Stage parents. They all bloody suck.

Nick Carter and Brook Hogan should marry, uniting the two royal families of f*ck ups.

Oh God. That's too scary to even think about.

I had no idea Jane got remarried. I know she and Robert (the boys' dad) divorced a few years ago and she went apeshit on his new girlfriend and broke into their house and tried to assault them.

She always seemed really nutter. That reality show they dad didn't help much... Nick actually looked like the most level-headed of the family.
