Nick Carter claims multiple people connected to his sexual assault accuser, Melissa Schuman, refute her version of events.

Nick is locked in ongoing legal battle against Melissa, who claims the pop star assaulted her in 2003 in a Santa Monica apartment, and he filed new legal docs claiming his old roommate James "Tony" Bass was present on the night in question and testified that he never saw Melissa distressed.

Bass said he saw Nick and Melissa drinking, socializing, flirting, and making out. He further testified he heard kissing and playful interactions but said "[a]t no point in the night did I observe Melissa to be upset, fearful or otherwise distraught in any way." He added that Melissa appeared "happy and totally comfortable throughout the night."

While Brooks and Taron were spotted going out for a couple dinners in Santa Monica a couple months ago ... it sounds like their spark didn't ignite like a rocket engine.

Wyndham Clark just won the U.S. Open ... but instead of talking birdies and bogeys, he's airing out a relationship saga involving Baker Mayfield ... and it sounds like his chick picked the football over golf.

Then Tuesday, player-turned-front-office honcho Buster Posey was essentially put in front of a media firing squad to address the growing fallout ... and it was a total dumpster fire.
