Backstreet Boys' Holiday Special Pulled by ABC Amid Allegations Against Nick Carter

The Backstreet Boys‘ holiday special will no longer air on ABC in the wake of the allegations against Nick Carter.

A Very Backstreet Holiday was scheduled to air on ABC on Wednesday (December 14) at 8pm, but it has been pulled from the programming schedule.

The special was filmed earlier this month and was set to feature the Backstreet Boys singing songs from their brand-new holiday album along with classic hits. They were to be joined by Seth Rogen, Meghan Trainor, Rob Riggle, Nikki Glaser, Ron Funches, and Atsuko Okatsuka.

The cancellation comes hours after Nick was accused of raping a 17-year-old girl when the band was on tour in 2001. A 39-year-old woman has filed a sexual battery lawsuit against the singer, claiming that he raped her and infected her with HPV during an encounter in February 2001.

Nick has already responded to the claims through his lawyers.
