Us Weekly confirmed the restraining order news with a source close to the situation.
Aaron made light of the situation, tweeting on Tuesday, "So my brother just got a restraining order against me. And I was just served lol."
Aaron denied claims of intentions to harm anyone, including his family. A rep for star said, "I am astounded at the accusations being made against me and I do not wish harm to anyone, especially my family."
According to reports, Aaron has to stay at least 100 feet away from Nick, Nick's wife and kids and other family members, specifically their residence in Las Vegas.
