Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, and Every Other Holiday Special Coming Your Way

The Backstreet Boys were set to have their own holiday special, but ABC removed it from their schedule because of new assault allegations against member Nick Carter. The news was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter on Dec. 8, the same day new rape allegations were made against Carter. Carter did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment. In a statement released on Dec. 8, Carter's lawyer called the allegations "legally meritless" and "entirely untrue," according to NBC News. Comedy repeats will be airing in its place.
