The Backstreet Boys member and entrepreneur dated for less than a year.
With new sexual assault allegations of the Backstreet Boys member coming to light, people are pointing out Nick Carter‘s involvement with Paris Hilton‘s bruises. The allegations are a crucial part of the documentary series Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter. Paris Hilton isn’t involved in the documentary, but their relationship is examined once more by the general public.
Paris Hilton dated Nick Carter for seven months from 2003 to July 2004. In Carter’s 2013 memoir Facing the Music And Living To Talk About It, he talked negatively about their relationship, “Paris was the worst person in the world for me to hook up with. [She] fed my worst impulses as far as partying.”
In 2004, paparazzi photos of Paris Hilton with bruises emerged and people immediately accused Nick Carter of abusing the “Stars Are Blind” artist.
Did Nick Carter give Paris Hilton bruises?
Nick Carter denied that he gave Paris Hilton the bruises. “I’ll tell you one thing: I didn’t touch her,” the singer told People in 2004. “I’m not that kind of guy. I would never do that.”
Hilton declined to press charges related to her injuries. “I’m doing okay,” she said. “I’m just so happy to be single right now.”
At the time, sources alleged to the New York Post that Carter was the one who gave Hilton the bruises. “Nick wanted to leave, Paris didn’t,” said a Hilton pal, adding, “Nick forced Paris to leave, he made her get in a cab with him.”
Friends told the outlet that Hilton was “scared to death” and added that Carter “has major anger-management issues . . . We have seen bruises on her before and asked her about them.”
In her 2020 documentary This is Paris, Hilton brought up the situation saying that five men verbally and physically assaulted her, leading to the infamous bruises photo. “We just got in an argument,” she recalled of the incident. “I was trying to leave his house and he just got really mad and was just grabbing me and pulling me. I don’t really remember most of it because I’ve had worse stuff happen.”
She continued, “I’ve been strangled, phones thrown at me, computers, and I accepted it because I almost thought it was so normal. Like, he loves me so much that he’s going this crazy. I just wanted so bad that I was willing to accept being hit or yelled at or screamed at or strangled…a lot of things.”
