ORLANDO, Fla. — Lou Pearlman, the boy-band hitmaker responsible for the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, has cultivated an avuncular image. Called "Big Poppa" by some of his singers, Pearlman has often been seen taking group members to concerts or to his downtown pizzeria.
But now the Florida Department of Labor is investigating the portly 47-year-old music impresario and his Orlando-based company, Trans Continental Entertainment, for possible violations of the state's child labor laws.
Merrily Goodell, the mother of two members of Take 5 — one of Pearlman's former groups that failed to make it big — filed a complaint last fall alleging Pearlman broke more than a dozen state statutes dealing with minors working
in the entertainment industry.
The complaint says Pearlman violated rules prohibiting minors from working more than six consecutive days, working no earlier than 7 a.m. and no later than 11:30 p.m. and requiring that parents be notified of their children's activities.
She also accuses Pearlman of violating the terms for receiving a state permit allowing minors to work in the entertainment industry.
"It sounds like someone has it in for us," Pearlman said in a telephone interview. "It's just preposterous."
Added Trans Continental Records Vice President Scott Bennett: "Merrily Goodell is obviously fishing for something, whether it's money or whether she's jealous or upset that her boys didn't become rich and famous like some of the other bands Lou has worked with."
"Mr. Pearlman reminds me of
the bully that runs around stealing kids' milk money," said Goodell, who lives in Dollin, Minn.
Pearlman has had no previous child labor complaints filed against him in Florida.
However, both the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync accused Pearlman of deception and cheating them out of money in lawsuits they filed several years ago to get out of Pearlman's control. Pearlman also had a bitter parting with the group O-Town that was documented on the ABC show "Making the Band."
Bob Brandewie, a state child labor coordinator, said he couldn't provide details on the investigation until it's completed. A first-time offense usually results in a warning, but employers can be fined or lose their permit to work with underage performers if they are found in violation during a follow-up investigation, Brandewie said.
