Lou Perlman Is Disgusting...


Lou Perlman, in case you didn't know, is the guy who created N'sync and the Backstreet Boys just to name a few. He had more money than God. He started businesses. He got investors. He took all of their money. He fled to Indonesia with all the money. He got caught. Now he's in jail. HOWEVER, this isn't the best part of the story. Seems there is a reason he only worked with BOYBANDS... In an interview with Vanity Fair:



"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 was Pearlman's
assistant, told VF's Bryan Burrough. "Some guys joked about it. I remember [one
singer] asking me, 'Have you let Lou [use your imagination] you yet?' "
Mooney said he once asked Pearlman, who was known as "Big Poppa," what it
would take for him to get into a band. "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 told Burrough. "And then he said, and
these were his exact words, 'You're a smart boy. Figure it out.' " Mooney added
that a singer groped by Pearlman told him, "Look, if a guy wants to massage me,
and I'm getting a million dollars for it, you just go along with it. It's the
price you got to pay."
Phoenix Stone, an early member of the Backstreet
Boys, tells Vanity Fair Pearlman was "definitely inappropriate" with Nick
Carter. Nick's mom, Jane Carter, wouldn't get into specifics, but said, "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."
Tim Christofore, a member of Take 5, recalls that during a sleepover
at Pearlman's house, the music czar swan-dived onto his and another boy's bed
and wrestled with them wearing only in a towel, which came off. "We were like,
'Ooh, Lou, that's gross.' What did I know? I was 13," Christofore told Vanity
Fair.
Rich Cronin, lead singer of LFO, recalled Pearlman told him of an
"ancient massage technique that if I massage you and we bond in a certain way,
it will strengthen your aura."

Gross gross gross gross
