Nick Carter breaks his silence and denies allegations of sexual assault

Nick Carter has denied several allegations of sexual assault in a new documentary series Fallen idols: Nick and Aaron Carter.

Three women, Melissa Schuman, Shannon Ruth and Ashley Repp, speak in the documentary about their alleged assaults by the musician in the early 2000s. The women have sued Carter, 44, individually, while he has denied their allegations and sued all three for defamation.

The show premiered on Monday (27 May) on Investigation Discovery, the same channel that also Peace on set: The dark side of children’s television This dealt with allegations of sexual abuse of child actors on the set of several Nickelodeon shows.

Fallen Idols also follows the mental health issues of Carter’s brother Aaron, who died in November 2022 at the age of 35 from drowning and the “effects of sedatives.” It also documents the rift between the brothers after Aaron spoke out in support of the alleged victims when they made their claims public.

“These are exactly the same outrageous allegations that led us to sue this band of conspirators,” Carter’s lawyer said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times read.

“These cases are currently before the courts and based on the initial court rulings and the overwhelming evidence, we are confident that we will prevail and hold them accountable for spreading these falsehoods.”

Last year, it was revealed that Carter was facing sexual assault charges for the third time after an unnamed woman, referred to only as AR, accused him of sexual assault when she was 15; the singer was 21 and 22 years old at the time of the incidents.

She further claimed that Carter “knowingly gave her alcohol and drugs” before attacking her “despite her repeated refusals and requests to stop.”

Carter has denied AR’s allegations; his attorney, Dale Hayes Jr., called them “ridiculous” and “baseless.”

There have already been two separate lawsuits against “Do I Have To Cry For You” by Ruth and Schuman, a former member of the band Dream.

In her lawsuit, filed in December 2022, Ruth claims she was sexually assaulted by Carter after he invited her onto his tour bus following a Backstreet Boys show in Washington.

Ruth, who is autistic and has cerebral palsy, claims Carter gave her a pink drink he called “VIP juice” that tasted like alcohol before insisting she have oral sex with him. Court documents then allege Carter raped Ruth, who says she contracted HPV after the incident.

In a statement issued with The Independent Carter’s attorney Michael Holtz vehemently denied any wrongdoing on behalf of his client at the time, saying Ruth had been “manipulated to make false allegations against Nick.”
