Kaya Jones has claimed her ex-boyfriend Nick Carter knew about her abuse she experienced when she was a member of the Pussycat Dolls and ‘did nothing’.
The 33-year-old singer dated the Backstreet Boys star when she in the pop band – which made lead singer Nicole Scherzinger a global superstar.
Kaya recently took to her Twitter account to allege The Pussycat Dolls were run like a ‘prostitution ring’ during her time in the group.
Pussycat Dolls’ Kaya Jones has slammed ex-boyfriend Nick Carter claiming he knew about the abuse she suffered while in the band but ‘did nothing’
She joined the girl group as a teenager in 2003 and has publicly claimed entertainment executives took advantage of members, alleging they were ‘all abused’ and had pressure put on them to ‘sleep with whoever they say’ and that she had been warned that if she spoke out she would ‘end up dead’ and her career would be ruined.
Now, Kaya has taken to Twitter to allege that Nick, 37, was aware of the abuse she had to endure – a day after he released a statement denying allegations made by former Dream singer Melissa Schuman that he forced her to have sex with him when she was just 18.
On her Twitter account Kaya wrote: ‘Nick Carter was my boyfriend while I was in the Pussycat Dolls. He knew about the abuse I endured and did nothing.
‘I guess I now know why. Disgusting. Disgraceful. Disgusted in my heart. Especially because he was a victim of abuse himself. Shame on you Nick!
‘Disgusted in my heart. Especially because he was a victim of abuse himself. Shame on you Nick!’ Kaya wrote in a series of Twitter posts on Wednesday
‘I was vulnerable and in a group which served me abuse daily’ Kaya wrote. She is pictured with the girlband in 2005
‘Nick denies the allegations just like Robin (Antin – Pussycat Dolls founder) denied my abuse. I know all about the truth here. Don’t lie Nick. I’m no longer keeping your secrets
‘I was vulnerable and in a group which served me abuse daily. Not surprised I fell in love with a predator and had no idea at first.
‘Until we had to meet with his attorney for a sexual abuse case he claimed was a fan. Well Nick that was back in 2004 are you gonna deny this?
‘Better yet why don’t you ask Nick why I left him. Yup he never dumped me, I left him. My heart shattered at what I found out and what he asked me to do! No More Lies!
Back in October Kaya called the Pussycat Dolls a ‘prostitution ring’ in a series of tweets. She is pictured on October 7
‘I’ve kept a lot in and today after hearing yet another girl was abused can’t remain silent. Shame on you Nick for not stopping your sexual demons!’ Kaya wrote about the boy band star
Jones wrote 7 tweets about her experience dating Carter back when she was in the band
‘I am 33 and not 19 anymore. I like many girls was blinded by evil and I loved him. I’m not scared anymore.
‘I’ve kept a lot in and today after hearing yet another girl was abused can’t remain silent. Shame on you Nick for not stopping your sexual demons!
‘Nick you have 1 shot to get it right. You can disregard the girls that aren’t on your level even after you abused them.
‘Come Square up with me the girl that was with you for 2 years that knows all your secrets. Let’s go!
‘Remember 1 thing when going through pain. No matter how hard or broken you might feel, you are a soldier of God & Soldiers don’t cry. Chin up! (sic).
‘Shocked and saddened’: On Wednesday Nick responded to allegations he raped ex-Dream singer Melissa Schuman in 2002
Kaya’s claims come after the pop star responded to accusations of rape.
Nick said he’s ‘shocked and saddened’ by accusations made by Melissa Schuman of the girl group Dream who said he raped her about 15 years ago.
She wrote in a blog post that she was ‘forced to engage in an act against my will.’ She said the Backstreet Boy took her virginity.
But Carter says in a statement Wednesday that ‘Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual.’
He adds that he ‘was always respectful and supportive of Melissa both personally and professionally.’
Dream was signed to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Bad Boy Records and produced the hit ‘He Loves U Not.’
Schuman and Carter recorded music together after she said he attacked her.

In her blog post, Schuman said that Carter forced her to perform oral sex on him before raping her inside his Santa Monica apartment in 2002.
Schuman said she was 18 and he was 22 at the time of the alleged assault. She said her first conversation with Carter occurred over the phone while she was filming her This Is Me Remix music video with her group Dream and then boss, P. Diddy.
Schuman wrote on her blog that their labels set up the call because they thought the pair should date.
‘My label reps sat in on the call, anticipating a spark between the two of us. I was already dating someone steadily at the time,’ Schuman wrote.
Schuman said a few years later, Carter invited her to his Santa Monica apartment for a ‘casual hangout,’ to which she also invited a friend.
She claims that they all took a shot and played video games before Carter asked her to come into his office and listen to some new music he was working on.
Carter allegedly made out with her before forcibly unbuttoning her pants and performing oral sex on her, despite her desperate calls for him to stop.
Schuman then claims he took her into a bathroom where he made her perform oral sex on him.
‘He was stronger and much bigger than me, and there was no way I would be able to open that door or have anyone help me.
‘My friend couldn’t help me, I didn’t even know where she was. So when he placed my hand on his penis my thought was the only way to get out was to get him to finish what he had started,’ Schuman wrote.
Schuman alleges that Carter then threw her on the bed and climbed on top of her.

She alleges he then took her to his bedroom and forced her to have intercourse. The two were both cast in the 2004 made-for-TV movie The Hollow
‘I told him that I was a virgin and I didn’t want to have sex. I told him that I was saving myself for my future husband. I said it over and over again,’ she wrote.
She alleges that Carter, who appeared to be growing impatient with her, then forced her to have intercourse.
After the alleged rape, Schuman said Carter called her over and over again for weeks but she refused to pick up the phone.
‘Then he finally left me one last nasty, angry message and he never called me again,’ she wrote.
‘It was over, at least I thought it was. I thought I’d never have to see or hear from him ever again. Until, I later signed with his manager, Kenneth Crear. Kenneth Crear was a very powerful manager who I thought could help me make my mark as a recording artist,’ Schuman said.
But she said she soon found out that Crear and Carter, were ‘best friends’.
‘Kenneth set up a showcase for me for a major label. We recorded a few songs, one of them was a duet with my abuser. We never recorded together. He had pre-recorded his part and I went in and recorded mine.
‘Again, what was I supposed to do? I could’t tell my manager that his best friend had raped me so I won’t record this song,’ Schuman wrote.

Schuman said she didn’t tell her friend, who was also at the apartment during the alleged rape, about the incident.
And instead, she told her manager, who told her Carter had one of the most powerful legal teams out there and publicly accusing him would hurt her career.
Schuman said that she ‘quickly lost interest in pursuing a career as a recording artist’.
‘I was broken. I was tired. I was traumatized. I told my therapist. I told my family. I told my friends. I have a plethora of people who can attest that I eventually became open vocal about my experience, I’ve just never had the platform to come out publicly,’ she wrote in the blog post.
Schuman (left, performing with Dream in July 2016) said her family urged her to come forward about the alleged incident after the news broke about the multiple sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein
