The Boy Band Member And The Pig

May 14, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] This former boy band member’s early life was not as glamorous and fun as you might think.

Yes, he had plenty of money and fame. However, when he thinks about his boy band days, he also thinks about the abuse he endured at the hands of his manager.

He has never really talked about his experience with that pig manager of his. When the whole #metoo thing started up, he thought it would be a good time to go public. Then someone told him that it was really a women’s movement and that he should pick another time to tell his story. He listened to them and decided to wait a while. Then the moment sort of passed and now he is back to thinking he might have to keep it a secret for the rest of his life.

Not anyone from the Osmonds. This boy band came later.

    This is Ricky Martin – too long ago for most readers to know or remember. His rapist was the father of the Menendez brothers, Lyle and Eric. He was a producer for RCA at the time. Ricky was about 12 at the time.

      …although “pig” certainly points to Lou Pearlman, and in that case, it could be any one of a dozen boys.

    It was definitely Nick Carter and Lou Pearlman. There were rumors for years that his mom took him to therapy over it.

    Someone managed by Lou pearlman?
    Advice: Tell your story! Expose him! It does NOT matter whether you are a woman or a man. THAT is what feminism wants to make clear when talking about equality. So sad that some (mostly men) still don’t get the concept. It’s not that complicated. Same rights for all. Jeeeez

    Whoever it is: That’s a wrong thing to think – Anthony Rapp’s allegations against Spacey were what really got this whole thing moving, whatever Rose McGowan wants to believe. It’s never been a girls-only movement.

    Jonathan Knight from NKOTB? It’s his choice whether or not to share his story. But telling him #metoo belongs exclusively to one sex is ridiculous. Abuse is abuse whether or not the victim is a man or woman.

    I’m going to guess Lance Bass from NSYNC. “Pig manager” sounds like it could be Lou Perlman. Lance was around 15-16 when the band formed.
    He also spoke out when Kevin Spacey was outed for his abusive behavior.

  12. EaudeParfum says

    May 15, 2018 at 7:58 am

    Justin Timberlake, NSync.
    Wait. Lou Pearlman is dead.

    I could honestly see it happening with any member of the boy bands managed by Lou Pearlman

  15. est1996 says

    i don’t know who told him that, but they were wrong. as much as i can’t stand the #metoo movement (as a whole and for my own personal reasons) it is not solely just a “women’s movement”. yes, women do run the movement and are the face of it, but women also need to realize that men can be harassed and abused just as much as women can be – and i am a woman saying this. i don’t know who this is, but please go on ahead and speak out on the abuse you’ve suffered at the hands of your manager.

    With the Kevin Spacey scandal still reverberating.. now is as good a time as any for Justin to come forward and share his account. His story might prevent similar exploitation of other aspiring child entertainers. Roast the pig of a manager, even though he’s gone now… straight to he!!

    Boy Bander/His Band: N’Synce/Lou Pearlman – arrested for conspiracy, money laundering, and making false statements during a bankruptcy proceeding. Unconfirmed statements how he had these young boys stay the night at his house walking around with no shirts on, and how he would wrestle with them. If my memory serves me correct, Lance Bass & Justin timberlake were Lou Pearlman choices for the “alone time” he wanted to spend with.

    A Backstreet Boy or someone from *NSYNC (both managed by Lou Pearlman)

  25. ILoveNutella says

    May 15, 2018 at 4:18 am

    Lou Pearlman – the manager of Backstreet boys and Nsync.

    “the pig” reminds me of Lou Pearlman who is an obese man.

    Check out the movie 2gether (2000) a movie spoof based on lou pearlman and the boy bands he created.

  26. Headlights says

    May 15, 2018 at 4:00 am

    I don’t know the boy band member but #metoo is not just a female movement. It includes men aswel

  27. MikeInSanJose says

    May 15, 2018 at 12:01 am

    Lance Bass/NSync
    This is about manager Lou Pearlman.

    Lance has talked about this before, so it might not be him. He got some publicity but no justice a few years back…

    I wouldn’t ride the #MeToo movement, but keep talking about it! And talk to others you know (or believe) were victimized by that man. If enough of you speak up, you might at least get the authorities to take your accusations seriously.

    Nick Carter and the Back Street Boys- the manager Perlman was vile.

    Justin Timberlake and NSYNC. Lou Pearlman was the creepy manger.

  33. aaaSami says

    May 14, 2018 at 9:41 pm

    Justin Timberlake and the Manager…the now deceased Lou ….something…forget his last name. He was a morbidly obese disgusting pig of a man. Lynn (Timberlake’,s Mom) has a price to pay for allowing her son anywhere near that predator.

    May 14, 2018 at 8:26 pm

    Backstreet Boys
    Nick carter or the one with a beard and tats. Both were vulnerable kids without strong family support.

    Don’t do it publicly. Move on unless you have proof that can put the manager in jail.

    I’m getting Lou Pearlman vibes from “the pig” reference. Maybe Timberlake? But he’s so big I feel like people would have encouraged him to come forward. Hmmm…. not sure.

    • SleuthingForFun says

      May 16, 2018 at 5:23 pm

      A lot of people are guessing this, but JT tweeted to Lou’s death “I hope he found some peace. God bless and RIP, Lou Pearlman” in 2016. I don’t think he would tweet that since he seems to hold grudges and not forgive also he didn’t invite the NSYNC members to join him at the SB. IDK.

      Optional: advice: name and shame this will help the up and comers.

  54. Jelly Drop says

    May 14, 2018 at 5:44 pm

    Joey McIntyre or Jordan Knight from NKOTB. Maurice Starr the manager.

    He should talk about it. Just as the #Metoo movement gave a voice to women to talk about sexual abuse and harrassment, men need that same voice. Only when it is in the public and being discussed can it have that voice.

    • OhIthinknot says

      May 15, 2018 at 3:58 pm

      Yes, Angelbratt. Putting an “lololol” (Which is a stupid thing anyway, when one “lol” will do) certainly makes a joke about being molested as a child funny. Really funny. Hysterically funny. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so funny if someone joked about your children being molested. Think about it.

    May 14, 2018 at 5:31 pm

    I don’t have a guess, but this is really sad.

    Yes, #MeToo was a women’s movement, but his pain is still valid. He should definitely come forward and do so whenever he wants to.

  61. Marvella says

    May 14, 2018 at 5:14 pm

    I think it’s Lance Bass. He was N’Synch’s sacrifice to Lou Pearlman. He took one for team.

    • NoseyNana2008 says

      May 16, 2018 at 9:31 am

      I Think this might be it. According to Wikipedia, Pearlman had a thing for blondes. JT had frosted tips at one time, but I think Lance may be a natural blonde.
