Fallen Idols, a four-part documentary exploring the “lives and controversies” of Nick and Aaron Carter, premieres on Investigation Discovery on Monday (May 27).

Repp, Ruth and Schuman appear in the documentary, which also chronicles the “intense backlash” they endured from speaking out and how their lives have been impacted.
Schuman first went public with rape allegations in 2017. She accuses Nick of raping her in 2003 and filed a lawsuit against him in 2023. Repp, who accuses Nick of sexually assaulting her in 2001, sued him for sexual battery in 2022. Ruth sued in 2022 accusing Nick of raping her when she was 15 years old.
The Backstreet Boys singer has denied sexual assault allegations and countersued Schuman and Ruth in 2023. According to The Wrap, Nick’s attorney’s posted documents in response to interviews featured in the docuseries via the website, FallenIdolsDocumentary.com.
The trailer features social media clips of Aaron backing his brother’s accusers, which resulted in a public feud between the brothers leading up to the 34-year-old singer’s death in 2022.
In addition to the three women, Fall Idols features interviews with an unnamed Carter family member, Nick’s ex-girlfriend Kaya Jones and Melanie Martin, Aaron’s former fiancé.
