A Backstreet Boys Christmas special has been pulled by US TV network ABC following news that a woman is suing singer Nick Carter, alleging he raped her during a 2001 tour when she was 17. A Very Backstreet Holiday was slated to run on 14 December, but is no longer listed in ABC's holiday specials guide. According to the lawyer, the singer said "no-one would ever believe in her" because of her disability, the AFP news agency reported. "Unfortunately, for several years now, Ms Ruth has been manipulated into making false allegations about Nick - and those allegations have changed repeatedly and materially over time." A Very Backstreet Holiday was to feature Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough performing hits from their 10th album A Very Backstreet Christmas, with appearances from other stars including Seth Rogen and Meghan Trainor.
