Backstreet Boy demands $50K from Florida woman who allegedly trespassed on his private beach: lawsuit

Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell is suing a Florida woman for allegedly trespassing on his private beach.

In the $50,000 lawsuit obtained Friday by Page Six, the singer and his wife, Leighanne Littrell, accused Carolyn Barrington Hill of repeatedly entering their Santa Rosa Beach property without permission and screaming at their property manager.

Brian, 50, and Leighanne, 56, said they’ve put up several “no trespassing” signs, as well as chairs, umbrellas and small tables to delineate their private property.

However, they feel their “efforts have been in vain” because Hill, 67, has allegedly “set out to antagonize, bully and harass” them with her “multiple” “unauthorized entries” beginning in April.

They accused Hill of setting up her own beach furniture on their property before “shouting and cursing” at their property manager for asking her to move.

They also claimed she “videotaped” them without their “knowledge or consent” and “incited” other members of the public to join her in her alleged trespassing of their property.

The Littrells said they hired private security to “protect” them but ultimately “resorted to relying” on the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, whom they are also suing.

Brian and Leighanne — who are parents to son Baylee Littrell, 23 — filed their lawsuit against the county over the summer, alleging failure to enforce their private property rights.

News 13 obtained body cam footage of a deputy interacting with Hill in May. The video showed Hill becoming increasingly distressed after being told to move from her spot on the sand.

Trying to calm her, the deputy responded that he doesn’t agree with privatizing beaches and told her she would be fine if she just moved in front of another property.

Hill claimed the Littrells and their property manager have repeatedly threatened her — and on at least one occasion, with an electric drill.

“And next time he gets four feet away from me with that drill, I’m bringing out pepper spray,” Hill told the deputy.

In his own conversation with the deputy, the property manager admitted to brandishing a drill but insisted he wouldn’t “use it as a weapon.”

Hill has filed a motion to dismiss the suit against her, writing in her request, “The Complaint is facially deficient and attempts to deter Ms. Hill from exercising her constitutional right to be present at her local beach in Walton County, Florida…”

A hearing in the case has been scheduled for next month.

Hill doesn’t seem to be the only alleged trespasser with whom the Littrells have feuded.

The two were filmed in April 2023 engaging in a heated debate about their property’s lines with an unidentified beachgoer. The video, which was posted online, showed Brian holding up a “no trespassing” sign while Leighanne argued with a man about where he was sitting.

The person next to the man was filming the ordeal, which prompted Leighanne to blow the camera a kiss and say she would be retrieving her own phone to return the favor.

As she walked by the person filming, she grabbed their phone.

Reps for the Littrells did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
