Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell has sued a Florida woman for allegedly trespassing on a private beach.
In a $50,000 lawsuit obtained by Page Six on Friday, singer Carolyn Barrington-Hill and her wife, Regan Littrell, accuse her of repeatedly entering their Santa Rosa Beach property without permission and yelling at the property manager.
Brian, 50, and Leeanne, 56, said they had set up chairs, umbrellas and small tables, as well as some “no trespassing” signs, to delineate their private property.
But they feel their “efforts have been in vain” because Hill, 67, has allegedly “attempted to antagonize, bully and harass” them on “several” “unauthorized immigration” charges since April.
They accused Hill of installing her own beach furniture on their property and then “screamed and cursed” at the property manager who asked her to move.
They also claimed she “videotaped” them without their “knowledge or consent” and “incited” other members of the public to participate in trespassing on her property.
Littrell and others say they hired private security to “protect” them, but ultimately “decided to rely” on the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, which they sued.
Brian and Leeanne, the parents of 23-year-old son Bailey Littrell, filed a lawsuit against the county this summer, alleging it failed to enforce their private property rights.
News 13 obtained body camera footage of the deputy interacting with Hill in May. The video showed Hill becoming increasingly distressed as he was asked to move from his spot on the sand.
In an attempt to calm her down, the agent replied that he did not agree with the privatization of the beach and told her that she would be fine as long as she moved to another property in front of her.
Ms. Hill claimed that the Littrells and their property manager repeatedly threatened her, at least once with an electric drill.
“And the next time he gets four feet away from me in that drill, I’m going to bring out the pepper spray,” Hill told the deputy.
In a conversation with deputies, the property manager admitted to brandishing the drill, but insisted he did not intend to “use it as a weapon.”
Ms. Hill filed a motion to dismiss the case against her, writing that “the complaint is disfavored and seeks to prevent Ms. Hill from exercising her constitutional right to stand on her local beach in Walton County, Florida…”
A hearing in the case is scheduled for next month.
It appears Hill isn’t the only person in the Littrell family feuding with trespassers.
In April 2023, the two were photographed having a heated discussion with an unidentified beachgoer about the property’s boundaries. Video posted online showed Brian holding up a “no trespassing” sign and arguing with a man about where Leanne was sitting.
A person next to the man was filming the ordeal, and Leeanne kissed him on camera and told him she would take back her phone to repay him.
She walked past the person she was filming and grabbed his phone.
Representatives for the Littrell family did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
