New Docuseries Sheds Light on Allegations Against Nick and Aaron Carter

STORY: On the heels of a show called “Quiet on Set,” a new series on TV looks at claims of sexual assault against Nick Carter, a singer from the Backstreet Boys. The show is called “Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter.” It talks about claims made by three women against Nick Carter starting in 2017. The show raises questions about how it tells the story and why it was made. The TV network's success is because more people are watching TV at home due to the pandemic, and many are interested in true crime stories and celebrities. People are curious about what details are shown in the series and how they are shown. In the series, a former child star named Raquel Lee Bolleau, who is also in the show, said she didn't know what “Quiet on Set” was about until it aired. This might show that people are really interested in the claims and the people making them. The new series, “Fallen Idols,” is trying to look closely at celebrities like Nick Carter. Nick, who is 44 years old, chose not to be interviewed for the show. He denies the claims made against him and has filed lawsuits against the accusers. The show also talks about Nick's relationship with his brother Aaron, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 34, and their family. Similar to another show called “House of Hammer,” “Fallen Idols” interviews family members and people close to the Carters, as well as the accusers and psychologists. The stories from the accusers sometimes have conflicting details, which makes it hard for the audience to know what to believe. This makes it difficult for the show to build a strong case against Nick and help the accusers get justice. The show also looks at Aaron's struggles with mental health and substance abuse, and suggests that his death was partly caused by bullying and online harassment from Nick, which Nick denies. Melissa Schuman, Ashley Repp, and Shay Ruth are the women who made allegations against Nick Carter. Melissa said Nick forced her to have sex with him in a bathroom and bedroom. Kaya Jones, who was in the Pussycat Dolls, supported Melissa's claims on Twitter. She said Nick was her boyfriend and compared her experience with him to being in a "prostitution ring." Schuman's former manager denied knowing about the assault. Repp, who was 15 when Nick first approached her, shared her story in the show. The Carter family has not said much about the series, and the Backstreet Boys have not commented on the allegations against Nick.
