Los Angeles, Dec 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) A Backstreet Boys Christmas special titled “A Very Backstreet Holiday” has been canceled by American television network ABC following news that a woman is suing singer Nick Carter, alleging he raped her while on tour in 2001 when she was 17.
The program, which was filmed in Los Angeles this month, was scheduled to air on the network on December 14 and feature the band as they performed hits from their 10th album A Very Backstreet Christmas, mirror.co.uk reports. .
Seth Rogen, Meghan Trainor, Rob Riggle and Nikki Glaser were among those set to appear on the holiday special. The show’s cancellation has been confirmed by Variety. It comes after Nick, 42, was accused of raping a teenager on the tour bus after a Backstreet Boys gig over 20 years ago.
Alleged victim Shannon Ruth, who claims to have autism and cerebral palsy, said the ‘I Want It That Way’ crooner assaulted her on their tour bus in 2001 when she was 17. She held a press conference alongside lawyers on Thursday, which was streamed live on Facebook, and appeared distraught upon reading the allegations.
Now 39, she says despite being autistic and living with cerebral palsy, nothing has affected her more than the “lasting impact” of the alleged attack.
A source close to Nick told TMZ: “This accusation is categorically false, Nick is focused on his family and mourning the death of his brother.”
His lawyer Michael Holtz called the allegations “totally false”.
“This claim about an incident that allegedly took place more than 20 years ago is not only without legal basis, but also entirely false,” he said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Victim claims Nick called her ‘r ***** db *** h’ before ‘grabbing her’ and ‘leaving bruises’ on her arm, which she says was an attempt presumed to “shut me up”.
Detailing why she waited more than 20 years to reveal the allegations, she claimed she feared going “to jail” after telling anyone. She says her motivation is “to stop ‘Nick’ from molesting more teenagers and women” and to “hold Nick Carter accountable”.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Nick is being sued for sexual assault by the woman.
In the documents, she claimed that Nick offered her a “red colored drink” which he allegedly called “VIP juice” – a drink which she believes to be alcohol and cranberry juice.
She says Nick ordered the then-teen to perform oral sex on her as she burst into tears, according to documents also obtained by Page Six.
The lawsuit alleges that Nick took her to a bed on their tour bus before continuing to sexually assault her. She claims that as a result of the alleged incident, she contracted HPV, a sexually transmitted infection – for which she is seeking damages, according to the documents.
