Brian Littrell of Backstreet Boys claims trespassers are targeting his family on his private Florida beach, prompting legal action to protect his property rights.
Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell – who filed a lawsuit against a Florida county, accusing the sheriff’s department of refusing to keep public beachgoers off of his private beach – says trespassers are “running” up his property and “coming after” his family.
“This is a truth issue. It’s a fairness issue of the backyard of my place being a sanctuary”, Littrell, 50, told Fox News’ Dana Perino during an appearance on “America’s Newsroom” on Wednesday.
“This lady in the video that you showed, traveled past two or three public beaches just to get to this place to cause issues for my family”, the musician continued, referring to the body cam footage of a Walton County police officer asking a beachgoer to leave Littrell’s property. “It’s property rights, this is what we’re talking about. I bought this place many years ago and they obviously know who I am. They’re coming after my family. They’re coming after my son, they’re coming after my wife. You know, we play fair. We should be on here talking about the success of Backstreet Boys, but we’re talking about people invading my privacy. It’s unfortunate.”

Littrell’s attorney, Peter Ticktin of Ticktin Law Group, said, “You have these left-leaning people who think that everyone should have nothing and everyone will be happy. These people have to go across scantily populated public beaches in order to get to Brian’s property … this is not just Brian’s problem. It’s also his neighbors’.”
“These people are there just here to cause trouble”, he added. “They don’t think people should be able to, people that have great talent, that work really hard and end up succeeding, and they get enough money to finally get their dream, the American dream, they get their home, they get a beach behind their home and then these people need to squat on it.
