Nick Carter Rape Accuser Blasts His ‘Stalling Tactics,’ Cites New Allegation


Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter allegedly is facing a new accuser who contacted Melissa Schuman following May premiere of "Fallen Idols" docuseries

Asked to elaborate on the unidentified woman’s claims, Schuman’s lawyer Karen Barth Menzies tells Rolling Stone that the new accuser gave her identity and enough “specific details” to appear “credible” and warrant mention to the court. 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. Those cases are working their way through the legal system now, and, based on both the initial court rulings and the overwhelming evidence, we have every belief that we will prevail and hold them accountable for spreading these falsehoods,” Carter’s lawyers Liane Wakayama and Dale Hayes Jr., said in a statement.
