Lance Bass says he was sexually harassed by ‘pedophile’ while a member of ‘N Sync
Lance Bass claimed this week that he was victimized someone he describes as a ‘pedophile’ during his days with the band ‘N Sync.
Except he insists didn’t feel like a victim.
‘When we started there was someone that we worked with that was inappropriately touching us,’ Bass said on The Meredith Vieira Show Wednesday (7 October).
‘I was even aware then, at 16, that this guy was a pedophile, and he was touching me oddly. But I didn’t feel victimized at the time because I was very aware of it.’
Bass, now 36, did not name the alleged ‘pedophile’ or elaborate on why being ‘aware’ of what was going on resulted in his not feeling victimized.
Bass, now a regular panelist on Vieira show, brought up the long ago alleged incidents while discussing Ashley Judd’s recent claims that she was sexually harassed by a Hollywood mogul.
‘This also happens to men, too. It’s a two-way street,’ Bass said. ‘It had happened to me when I was 16, 17 years old.’
‘N Sync was together from 1995 to 2002 and the other band members were Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick.
‘We would kind of joke about it, but it’s not a joking thing,’ Bass said. ‘But as a kid, it was just odd. I am glad that we were aware of it and we didn’t feel victimized at the time.’
