Backstreet Boys Shocker
This article is from the January 18th issue of The National Enquirer.
Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has broken the hearts of family members with the shocking news that he's turning his back on them and moving in with his girlfriend. The crushing blow came jsut weeks after Nick, 19, moved his family into a new multimillion-dollar home and promised to spend an old-fashioned Christmas with them-which he skipped.
"When Nick told me he was moving out, I was devestated," Nick's mom, Jane Carter, told the ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview. "He made the announcement that he needed to be near his girlfriend Mandy WIlliford in Florida and he ditched the family in California. Nick has left us in emotional shock!"
Nick and his family moved from Florida to Los Angeles last year so his siblings can pursue a show business career like big brother Nick. In September, just before NIck left on a Backstreet Boys tour, he moved the family to a big ranch 200 miles north of Los Angeles.
"But just as we moved, Nick and Mandy started seeing each other again," said his mom. "They met two years ago and their relationship has never been easy. Nick's hectic schedule caused them to break up several times. I thought Mandy was out of his system for good." Then, when Nick was on tour, "one day a big moving truck pulled up," his mom revealed. "They said they were here to pack Nick's things and I freaked out. I don't know when I've ever cried so much. I contacted Nick to find out what was going on and that's when he dropped the bomb on us. "Nick told his dad and me, 'Mandy and I are back together and when I return from the tour I'm moving back to Florida and she and I are going to live together.' Nick even told us that he no longer wanted his dad to have input on his business affairs and that he wanted to do it all himself."
And to add insult to ingury, before Nick ran back to Mandy, he planned a big Christmas celebration. Everyone was thrilled at the thought of Christmas on our new home-especially his brother and sisters. "Nick's grandparents are very ill and this was probably their last Christmas. But then NIck pulled the rug from under us - he was a no show. Once Nick moved out, we didn't hear from him for weeks. He wouldn't call and we couldn't get hold of him. Here we are not knowing if we are going to be kicked out of our new home, which Nick bought for us. Nick called just before Christmas and said that he would settle financially with us, but that remains to be seen.
"No matter what happens, Nick's father and I will always be here for him, and we hope he comes home soon!"
