Overview

• Marc Terenzi told Bild that Pearlman routinely demanded that band members remove their T-shirts and said 'I must check your six-pack' before physically examining their physiques under the guise of assessing muscle tension.
• He recalled that these inspections occurred repeatedly in both Pearlman’s recording studios and private residence, sometimes accompanied by unsolicited massages.
• Terenzi emphasized that Pearlman did not escalate to sexual assault with him personally, suggesting his experience may have differed from other protégés.
• His revelations follow earlier accusations by former US5 member Jay Khan and together they indicate a pattern of alleged misconduct by Pearlman.
• Although Pearlman was convicted for conspiracy, money laundering and fraud in 2008 and died in prison in 2016, the new disclosures have prompted fresh industry reflection on past power dynamics.
