Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter allegedly is facing a new accuser who contacted Melissa Schuman following May premiere of 'Fallen Idols' docuseries
Nick Carter, a member of the Backstreet Boys, appears in court during a hearing at the Regional Justice Center on March 29, 2023, in Las Vegas.“Just last month, Investigation Discovery aired a four-part docuseries in which plaintiff Schuman and other survivors were interviewed, after which plaintiff Schuman was contacted by another woman who disclosed that defendant Carter sexually assaulted her as well,” the new filing submitted in Los Angeles County Superior Court reads.
Asked to elaborate on the unidentified woman’s claims, Schuman’s lawyer Karen Barth Menzies tellsthat the new accuser gave her identity and enough “specific details” to appear “credible” and warrant mention to the court. “To me, the credibility includes the fact that she came forward not anonymously to Melissa but privately to Melissa. This is not just some nameless, faceless person,” Barth Menzies says. “Nobody invites this. It’s not something fun to talk about. She is a real person.” The lawyer says the new accuser, who alleges an assault after 2003, may eventually give testimony in support of Schuman’s litigation. She was mentioned to show the court that accusers “continue to come forward,” the lawyer says. That’s important because Carter is pushing for a suspension of Schuman’s lawsuit in California with the argument that she’s lying and he should first be allowed to prove the defamation conspiracy counter-claims that he filed against her and another accuser named Shannon “Shay” Ruth last year in Nevada. Lawyers for Ruth did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the case of Repp, Carter countersued her for defamation as well. He alleges Repp consented to having sex and told him and others that she was 18 years old.

While Carter’s attorneys requested that the record be kept under seal for the time being, that may change,” John Kawai, another attorney representing Repp, says.Sean Penn Says He 'Went 15 Years Miserable on Sets' After 'Milk' and Could Not Play Gay Role Today Due to a 'Timid and Artless Policy Toward the Human Imagination'Kylie Kelce’s Heartwarming Photo of Her 3 Daughters Has Fans Calling One Girl a ‘Travis Twin’Alex Sarr Puts Personal Touch on His Versace Suit, Cody Williams Dons Custom Rhude and More Rising Basketball Stars at the NBA 2024 Draft
