The Backstreet Boy member has long denied Melissa Schuman’s sexual assault accusations.
“The attack by Nick Carter on Melissa is intolerable. He is a coward…and a dangerous one,”Schuman’s attorney, Jeff Anderson, said in the Tuesday statement. “Melissa’s case describes how powerful, celebrated individuals can weaponize their fan base to intimidate and harass the survivors of their crimes. Finally, we have an opportunity now to prove that there are legal consequences to these crimes.
Schuman, a band member of the early aughts pop group Dream, was allegedly pressured into recording a “duet” with Carter that she was reportedly told “was being pitched for a movie soundtrack.” Schuman says she recorded her portion of the “duet” independently of Carter.“The recording was never sold,” the lawsuit states.
filed in Nevada, Carter alleged he is a victim of extortion, defamation and harassment by Ruth and Schuman. “Melissa Schuman has been peddling this tale for many years, but her allegation was false when she first made it back in 2017 — and it still is,” Carter’s lawyer, Liane Wakayama, told The Post in a statement on Tuesday.“A judge in Nevada recently ruled, after reviewing the extensive evidence we laid out, that there are strong grounds for Nick Carter to proceed with his lawsuit against Ms. Schuman for plotting to damage, defame and extort Nick, his associates, his friends and his family.
The statement continued: “In light of our progress in Nevada, this kind of response is at once both predictable and pathetic. But this PR stunt won’t shake Nick from his determination to hold Ms. Schuman and her co-conspirators to account for the immeasurable pain and suffering their extortionate conduct has caused.”
