The band rocked the stage at the annual holiday concert in MSG (Madison Square Garden). The whole bandmates were dressed in a theme white. 42-year-old Carter was seen all cheerful as the group made a cover song of Wham!’s “Last Christmas”. Also, they sang their 90’s hit song “Everybody”.

On Thursday, Nick made headlines when a 39-year-old woman named Shannon Shay Ruth held a press conference. In that conference, the autistic girl revealed that she was lured and raped by Nick when she was a minor age. After 20 years of the incident, Shannon filed a case with standing 2 other women who were also accusing him of rape.
“The last 21 years have been filled with pain, confusion, frustration, shame, and self-harm that are a direct result of Nick Carter raping me,” the woman alleged amid tears.
The woman was crying recalling everything that happened during the incident. Shannon recalls the 20-year-old incident very vividly like it just happened yesterday. She mentions the trauma she dealt with of confusion, frustration, shame, and self-harm. She recalled the moment with a lot of guts and confidence to the mass of people.

The woman was in deep scarred after the incident. She just gave so many emotional and traumatic details of the time when she was raped. Shannon mentioned that more than her illness she was mostly affected by the words Nick said to her after being done.
“Even though I’m autistic and live with cerebral palsy, I believe that nothing has affected me more or had a more lasting impact on my life than what Nick Carter did and said to me.”
However, Carter finally, responded to this allegation via his lawyer Michael Holtz. His lawyer gave a clear justification that this was just an act of defaming his client.
“This claim about an incident that supposedly took place more than 20 years ago is not only legally meritless but also entirely untrue,” lawyer Michael Holtz told us.
Not just that he also mentioned being manipulated by that girl for making the false allegations. Then he also said not to be fooled by the opportunistic opposite lawyer.

Moreover, Carter was fearless when he was performing. He held his head high when he was performing and as usual, waved and smiled at them even though the rape allegations were disclosed just before his concert.
Despite of all this controversy and rumors about the rape, he did not stop to tune in on the Backstreet Boys. They are releasing a new holiday special “A Very Backstreet Holiday.” Stay tuned for more updates!
