Nick Carter’s attorneys dispute the sexual assault allegations detailed in the new docuseries “Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter.” In the docuseries that premiered Monday, three women — Melissa Schuman , Shannon Ruth and Ashley Repp — spoke about their alleged assaults throughout the early 2000s. The women have each sued Carter, who has denied their accusations and collectively filed a countersuit against all three for defamation.
In a statement to The Times, Carter’s attorneys Liane Wakayama and Dale Hayes Jr. rejected the allegations in “Fallen Idols,” for which Carter reportedly declined to be interviewed. “These are exactly the same outrageous claims that led us to sue this gang of conspirators,” the statement read.
“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.” The last two of four episodes of “Fallen Idols” will premiere Tuesday on Investigation Discovery, the network behind “ Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV. ” The Investigation Discovery show also touches on the rift between brothers Nick and Aaron Carter, which was amplified after Aaron publicly supported the women who accused Nick — real name Nickolas Carter — of sexual assault.
The series also mentions the mental health struggles of Nick’s younger brother before his death in Nov.
