  • Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell is facing criticism on social media after a video surfaced of him arguing with beachgoer Kyle Gallagher over beach access outside his Florida mansion last month.
  • Littrell recorded Gallagher, accusing him of trespassing on private property and using derogatory language, while Gallagher asserted he was on public wet sand.
  • Littrell called 911, alleging battery by Gallagher and attempting to press criminal charges, submitting the video as evidence.
  • Walton County authorities dropped the case, stating the video did not show enough criminal intent, prompting Littrell to sue the county for not protecting him from trespassers.
  • Littrell's attorney stated that the family has experienced an "ongoing pattern of trespassing and harassment" and denied that Littrell used a homophobic slur.
