Did Lou Pearlman molest Backstreet Boy Nick Carter (remember the Vanity Fair article?)? Creepy. Talking to MTV Nick Carter seemed to skate around the subject (curiously enough there’s no byline on this piece):
According to a onetime singer and co-manager, Phoenix Stone, that guy was Nick Carter in the Backstreet Boys. Stone claims in the Vanity Fair story that Pearlman was “inappropriate” with Carter, leading to a “big blowup.” Nick’s mother, Jane Carter, is even quoted in the article, saying, “Certain things happened” and calling the financial scandal “the least of [Pearlman’s] injustices.
“There’s a lot of people who maybe were involved in our stuff in the past who want to take an opportunity maybe because they are a little bitter, you know, maybe because of where they are right now. And they tend to, like, throw us under the bus, you know what I mean? Because of where we are right now. I mean, I’m not naming anybody but … any attack on any one of us in this group is an attack on the whole entire group.” – Nick Carter twist and turns with a perfect non-answer.
