ABC pulls Backstreet Boys holiday special following lawsuit accusing Nick Carter of rape
Fox News
ABC will not be airing its planned Backstreet Boys holiday special on Dec. 14 after a lawsuit was filed against Nick Carter, who is being accused of raping a 17-year-old in 2001.
The decision reportedly came after a lawsuit was filed Thursday accusing Nick Carter of raping a 17-year-old fan on a tour bus in 2001. The incident allegedly occurred after a concert in Tacoma, Wash.
The civil suit filed in Nevada by now 39-year-old Shannon "Shay" Ruth claims the singer chose her from a group of autograph seekers to join him on the tour bus. Ruth says she was given an alcoholic beverage called "VIP juice" before she was assaulted.
