We've thought this for years, maybe our Lou fears were correct

Jailed Boy-Band Guru a 'Sexual Predator'?
Former Employee, Singers Recall 'Inappropriate' Lou Pearlman

(Oct. 2) - He helped launch the careers of some of the biggest boy-bands of the 1990s, but a new report by Vanity Fair hints that jailed music impresario Lou Pearlman had other motives for wanting to mentor the young singers.

"I would absolutely say the guy was a sexual predator. All the talent knew what Lou's game was," Steve Mooney, an aspiring singer who used to work for Pearlman, told the magazine. "Some guys joked about it. I remember [one singer] asking me, 'Have you let Lou [fellate] you yet?'"

Mooney says Pearlman, who is currently in a Florida jail awaiting trial for bank fraud, once told him what he would have to do in order to make it in the music business. "I'll never forget this as long as I live. He leaned back in his chair, in his white terry cloth robe and white underwear, and spread his legs," Mooney said. "And then he said, and these were his exact words, 'You're a smart boy. Figure it out.'"

The article details Pearlman's rise to power through his aviation and music ventures followed by his crushing downfall amid lawsuits from former band members and fraud charges that have landed him in a Florida jail. Insiders tell stories of Pearlman showing pornographic films to his young talent, greeting guests at the door wearing only a towel, and inappropriate touching including massages to balance one young man's "aura."

An early member of the Backstreet Boys says Pearlman was "definitely inappropriate" with Nick Carter, the youngest singer in the group. Jane Carter, Nick's mother, told the magazine, "Certain things happened and it almost destroyed our family. I tried to warn everyone. I tried to warn all the mothers ... I tried to expose him for what he was years ago."

Pearlman also masterminded such groups as *NSYNC, LFO and O-Town.

Tim Christofore, a member of another group, Take 5, said that during a sleep over at Pearlman's house, the producer engaged in a wrestling match with him and another boy wearing only a loosely attached towel. Christofore describes his reaction after the towel came off: "We were like, 'Ooh, Lou, that's gross.' What did I know? I was 13."

"None of these kids will ever admit anything happened," one attorney who has sued Pearlman in a contract dispute tells special correspondent Bryan Burrough. "They're all too ashamed, and if the truth came out it would ruin their careers."

"I tried to protect the kids," says a former publicist, Jay Marose. "You'd see Lou kind of moving in on one of them, and you'd just tell someone, 'Get that kid away from Lou before it's too late.' "

The November issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Oct. 3 and nationally on Oct. 9.




My question is why didn't Mrs. Carter go to the police if there was sexually inappropriate things going on? That's a bad parent if I have ever seen one.

Thank you, Captain Obvious! :tongue:

The whole Carter family puts the "fun" in "dysfunctional."

:scratch: There's nothing "great" about pedophilia. Even if a perpetrator is caught, the damage is done.

Mrs. Carter isn't exactly known for doing things that are in the best interest of her family, Sparks.

I watched House of Carters on YouTube a while back. Those kids need some serious help.

Clearly beauty123 is a stupid bitch who doesnt know what the word means.

I've read the entire Vanity Fair article (it's linked over on the BSB board), and the first thing that struck me was Lou's fascination with blimps.

The rest of it was just sad and disgusting.

Save me from the bad place and link me please.


pretty please!
