In the era of the MeToo movement, many famous and powerful men have been singled out even by their assumed allies and have become pariahs in the showbiz industry. Nick Carter, definitely is not one of them. It looks like the 38-year-old Backstreet Boys band member, who has been accused of rape and sexual harassment, has the backing of his bandmates, at least one of them.  

TMZ recently caught up with Brian Littrell at LAX Tuesday and asked him about his take on the accusations against Nick on Tuesday, August 7. He replied, “Unfortunately, there are fame seekers that are out there,” he said, adding, “In this situation, he’s been forthright and honest with us, and we have to stand beside our bandmate. That’s all we can do.”
