Carrot Top’s Lawyers Allege $500,000 Extortion Attempt Over Intimate Recording

Comedian Carrot Top’s legal team has alleged that Brian Evans sought $500,000 to prevent an intimate recording involving the comedian from being filed in a public court docket. Court documents reportedly state that Evans proposed settling all claims against Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, or proceeding with a filing that could attract media attention. Evans disputes that his messages amounted to a threat, describing the possible publicity as a foreseeable consequence of public court records. Thompson’s lawyers say the communication was an attempt to obtain money through the threat of public embarrassment. The allegation has not been established as a criminal finding. Thompson is reportedly recovering in hospital following a suicide attempt, and his representative has asked for privacy.
