“What’s so interesting about Leslie’s passing — she passed away when I was 23 — her death completely blindsided me,” she told hosts Taylor and Tay Lautner. “I didn’t see that one coming.”

“When she died, I was already in therapy preparing for Aaron’s death,” Angel, 36, continued. “I thought he was going to die. I feared it my entire 20s. I knew this day was going to come and I think he knew it too.”
The mom of one, who dedicated years of her life trying to help the “I Want Candy” crooner, explained he couldn’t get himself out of his addiction and often pushed away her support.

Around that time, Angel alleged Aaron told her about his thoughts of killing babies and how he started to accumulate several guns within a week.
The situation led Angel, who was a new mom to daughter Harper Noelle Conrad, and their older brother, Nick, to file a restraining order against the “Aaron’s Party” singer.
The court order led to Aaron’s guns being taken away.
“I had to protect him from himself,” Angel said as she teared up.

Angel blamed the “Fool’s Gold” hitmaker’s downfall on the years he was “exploited and used” by the people around him since the start of his career at age 9.
“I couldn’t save him,” she said. “It wasn’t my responsibility to save him but I tried.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Angel explained that Aaron was the “breadwinner” of their family. She recalled the pop star believing their parents’ 2003 divorce was his fault as they were torn apart by the greed of his success.
“He thought that the success destroyed the family,” she said.

While Aaron started experimenting with marijuana before his parents split when he was 12, it wasn’t until they officially called it quits that he started taking “hard” drugs.
“He was experimenting with ecstasy and huffing duster cans,” Angel claimed, recalling she didn’t find out until “years later” that Aaron continued the “bad stuff” into his 20s.
