Melissa Schuman fears that Nick Carter’s fans might harass her after her sexual harassment allegations against the singer
Nick Carter’s sexual assault accuser, Melissa Schuman, fears harassment from the pop star’s fans. According to TMZ, the fear stems from the singer’s popularity among fans and how often their love for their favourite celebrity can overpower everything else. On the other hand, the Backstreet Boys singer has asserted that Melissa’s alleged false claims have caused severe harm to his career.
According to the media outlet, Melissa Schuman has filed a new court document seeking permission to submit her medical records under seal in her legal battle with Nick Carter. In her filing, Melissa has alleged that she has been the target of a campaign of harassment, threats, doxxing, and intimidation. She asserted that the harassment began after she came forward with her claims about the Backstreet Boys singer.
Melissa Schuman has alleged that in the past her home address was leaked following the revelation, and she began receiving anonymous mail at her residence, messages encouraging her to harm herself, as well as “coordinated efforts to intimidate and discredit her.” She shared that she also wants to seal the transcript of her deposition in the case. However, a judge has yet to rule.
Nick Carter is countersuing Melissa Schuman for false allegations of sexual assault
Amid the ongoing legal battle, it was previously reported that Nick Carter had claimed that Melissa Schuman’s allegations were false. He asserted that she made false statements about a sexual assault that had caused him harm. The Backstreet Boys singer in his lawsuit against Melissa alleged that her actions were “intentional, malicious, oppressive and designed” to damage his career.
Additionally, his lawyer has also claimed that Melissa Schuman “plots to smear” his image. He alleged that it was all part of her grand scheme to extort a settlement from the Backstreet Boys singer. The lawyer further asserted that Melissa’s claims have substantially damaged his ability to earn a livelihood. He also claimed Melissa’s alleged false claims caused Nick Carter’s wife and young children to suffer emotional distress.
According to a previous report by TMZ, Melissa Schuman sued Nick Carter over an alleged sexual assault that took place in 2003 in Los Angeles. However, the Backstreet Boys singer has denied the allegations, claiming that he never assaulted Melissa in his Santa Monica, California, apartment. The singer denied all claims of wrongdoing and countersued Melissa.
According to reports, Nick Carter recently filed declarations from alleged witnesses who claimed they saw nothing on the night in question. However, despite the singer’s countersuit, Melissa Schuman stands by her story, and the case remains ongoing. For the unversed, Nick tied the knot with Lauren Kitt in 2014. The couple soon welcomed three children named Pearl, Saoirse Reign and Odin Reign.
