Lauren's last Instagram post was back on Nov. 1st, and she has not commented on the allegation against Nick (likely because it's an ongoing legal matter).
A woman named Shannon Ruth, who lives with autism and cerebal palsy, has alleged that Nick sexually assaulted her after a concert in Washington back in 2001.
Ruth filed a lawsuit against Nick, claiming that he invited her on the Backstreet Boys tour bus when she was waiting in line for an autograph. The lawsuit also alleges that Nick served Ruth a drink he called "VIP Juice" and then he assaulted her, also infecting her with HPV in the process.
Ruth was 17 at the time of the alleged assault.
Nick's attorney Michael Holtz told Entertainment Weekly that, "Unfortunately, for several years now, Ms. Ruth has been manipulated into making false allegations about Nick — and those allegations have changed repeatedly and materially over time. No one should be fooled by a press stunt orchestrated by an opportunistic lawyer — there is nothing to this claim whatsoever, which we have no doubt the courts will quickly realize."
