Brian Littrell called his neighbor “gay” and a “p—y” during a heated beach trespassing dispute last month, and the whole incident was caught on camera.
The video, which was obtained by Page Six on Tuesday, featured the Backstreet Boys star during an argument with a man named Kyle Gallagher in Walton County, Florida, on March 22.
Littrell submitted the video as part of a battery case he brought against Gallagher after the incident, per the court file we obtained.
“What the f–k, dude?” Littrell, 51, says after Gallagher accuses the singer of grabbing his phone.
“You cannot be putting that in my face, bro,” Gallagher fires back. “Get out of my face, bro.”
After a short back-and-forth about shoving their phones in each other’s faces, Gallagher tells the “I Want It That Way” singer that Littrell was “lucky” he didn’t “knock [him] the f–k out.”
“You reached around me from behind my back, dude, I got you on video,” Gallagher continues. “You’re f—-d bro. You’re never going to — you bought a house next to private property.”
Following another short exchange regarding who filmed whom, Littrell calls his Santa Rosa Beach neighbor a homophobic slur.
“You want to be gay? Want to be a p—y?” Littrell says. “This is what I deal with. We’ll have him taken off [the beach]. Public access doesn’t grant you public beach.”
“You’re done for, bro,” Gallagher adds at the end. “You’re not gonna get privacy. You’ll never get privacy here.”
But the incident didn’t end there, because the Backstreet Boys star went on to call 911 before attempting to press battery charges against his neighbor over the incident, all while using the shocking video as evidence.
The Walton County Sheriff’s Office submitted a warrant for Gallagher’s arrest for the state attorney’s office to review, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
However, Walton County’s Deputy Chief Assistant State Attorney Josh Mitchell decided not to recommend the warrant due to a “lack of criminal intent.”
“Littrell was assaulted by a hostile beach protester,” the singer’s lawyer, Peter Ticktin, told local outlet WMBB after the case was closed this week. “A report was made to the feckless sheriff’s office.”
He continued, “The assault was awful enough, but the fact that the sheriff’s office is not enforcing the law makes our whole community one of greater danger.”
Reps for Littrell and the Backstreet Boys did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The “Everybody” singer previously accused another Walton County resident, Carolyn Barrington Hill, of trespassing on his Santa Rosa Beach property in an unrelated civil complaint last year.
That complaint, filed in September 2025, claimed that Hill “set out to antagonize, bully, and harass the Littrell family by frequently trespassing” on their property.
Littrell and his wife, Leighanne, sought $50,000 in damages. However, a judge dismissed that case “without prejudice” in February for “failing to state a claim for which relief can be granted.”
