Backstreet Boys Star Sparks Legal Battle Over Florida Beach Property

BEACH HOUSE BRAWL: Backstreet Boys Singer Brian Littrell Sues Sheriff's Office Over Trespassers

The drama never ends for the Backstreet Boys, and this time it's not about their high-pitched harmonies or sold-out concerts. It's about a beach house brawl that has left singer Brian Littrell feeling harassed and bullied by trespassers on his private property in Florida.

In a shocking lawsuit filed against the Walton County Sheriff's Office, Littrell claims that despite numerous requests for help, the sheriff's office has done little to nothing to protect him and his family from repeat offenders who refuse to respect their private beach. The 50-year-old singer is seeking a court order to compel the sheriff's office to perform its duty to uphold the law.

The drama began in February 2023 when Littrell purchased the $3.8 million Santa Rosa Beach home, which has been plagued by trespassers ever since. In April 2023, a viral video on TikTok showed Littrell and his wife Leighanne arguing with beachgoers about property lines. The clip showed Leighanne trying to assert their private property rights, while the visitors refused to leave.

But it's not just the occasional trespasser that has Littrell frustrated. He claims that the sheriff's office has been ignoring his pleas for help, despite filling out a "Walton County Trespass Authorization Form" in April authorizing the sheriff to warn and prosecute anyone who remains on the property after being told to leave.

The court document obtained by thescholarlynote.com reveals a pattern of harassment by trespassers, including one incident where they committed battery and theft. Littrell claims that the sheriff's office has been working against him, citing instances where officers have shown disrespect towards his agents and responding officers.

"It's like they're making a mockery of our private property rights," Littrell told thescholarlynote.com in an exclusive interview. "We've put up 'No Trespassing' signs, chairs, umbrellas, and small tables to clearly define our property line, but it seems like the sheriff's office is more interested in enabling these trespassers than protecting us."

The Walton County Sheriff's Office has refused to comment on the matter, but Littrell claims that he has evidence proving their negligence. The court document includes body camera footage showing multiple instances of disrespect by responding officers.

This isn't the first time the Littrell family has had issues with locals. In 2019, Littrell was blasted by neighbors in a North Fulton community for throwing parties, which allegedly included helicopter use. However, Littrell and his wife Leighanne denied any wrongdoing, stating that they were simply trying to provide parking for their guests.

The couple's statement at the time read: "Brian and Leighanne Littrell have been members of the City of Milton for over two decades and are fully committed in preserving its rich history. The Freemanville Estate will be their second home in the area, and they do not intend to jeopardize the existing quality of life of residents in the community."

But it seems that their efforts to maintain a good relationship with their neighbors have fallen short. Littrell's lawsuit against the sheriff's office is just the latest development in this ongoing saga.

As the Backstreet Boys prepare to kick off their summer Las Vegas residency, "Into the Millennium," on July 11 at The Sphere, it seems that Littrell's drama-filled personal life will continue to make headlines. Will he finally find some peace and quiet at his beach house? Only time will tell.
