Joey Fatone once had to say “bye bye bye” to his electricity.

In a sneak peek of the next episode of ID’s new docuseries Boy Band Confidential, Fatone opened up about his financial situation after *NSYNC went on hiatus in 2002. The former boy bander, who also executive produces the show, revealed that he bought a 4-acre property with a 10,000-square-foot house during the group’s prime. Then, after the group disbanded, he nearly went bankrupt.

“Money was coming in. I asked my accountant, ‘Hey, are we good?’ ‘Yeah, we’re great,’” Fatone starts in the preview of the show. “He goes, ‘Your kids’ kids’ kids will be fine.’ Now, he was saying that as if money was probably still coming in.”

Unfortunately for Fatone, the cash flow stopped and he was left with his finances in shambles.

“You go 10 years later after that conversation, and when I go to a new accountant, I say, ‘Hey, man, can you look at my finances and what’s going on?’” Fatone continues. “And he goes, ‘You need to get out of that house or you’re gonna go bankrupt.’”

Fatone reveals that most people didn’t know that he was going through financial hardships. Then it all came to a head when his holiday celebrations suddenly got interrupted.

“This is where the low part was happening for me. There was one point during Christmas, they shut off the lights to my house ’cause I didn’t pay the bill,” Fatone admits, saying he was nearing bankruptcy and scared that the general public would find out.

“These are certain things that happen in normal people’s lives as well,” he says, also mentioning that he was married with two kids at the time. “But then, you have to figure out, for me, ‘How do I do this without the public even watching what’s going on?’”

At the end of the clip, Fatone shared that he reached out to people around him for financial assistance to no avail. “I was asking people for money. And funny enough, the people that I asked that mostly had the most money in life, they were like, ‘Can’t help you.’”

Boy Band Confidential takes a look at the boy band machine of the ’90s. Through interviews with *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean and Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, the four-part docuseries exposes what life was truly like for boy band stars at the peak of their success and its aftermath. Boy Band Confidential began airing on Monday and will conclude on Tuesday night (April 14) at 9 p.m PT on ID. The four episodes will also be available to stream on HBO Max.

Lena Dunham looks back on her past relationship with long-term boyfriend Jack Antonoff in new memoir Famesick, including a low point that she says stemmed in part from his work with a “teen pop star.”

In the book published Tuesday (April 14), the Girls creator — who dated the Bleachers frontman for about five years, up until their breakup in early 2018 — describes how Antonoff and a certain singer whose album he was producing became “ensconced” in the recording studio in the apartment Dunham shared with her then-boyfriend. “I was too oblivious to be jealous of [her],” the screenwriter recalls of the young pop star, who apparently referred to Dunham as “Aunt Lena” and whose “needs seemed as massive and complex as my own.”

According to passages shared by Entertainment Weekly, Dunham goes on to write that she once found Antonoff’s collaborator “sprawled across our sectional couch, weeping into Jack’s lap as he told her that ‘your teens are for experimenting’ in a tone so comforting, it almost brought tears to my eyes. It had been so long since he’d spoken to me with that kind of expansive generosity.”

After a while, Dunham says she suggested to the guitarist that “perhaps their closeness was striking an odd note, that [the unnamed pop star] wanted something from him that he couldn’t give.”

She says she also expressed feeling “like a ghost” whenever she saw the two of them together, to which she claims Antonoff replied, “‘You’re just mad because she doesn’t want to be your friend.’”

“And he was right,” Dunham added while also acknowledging, “I had observed careful boundaries [in our relationship] … If I’d wanted to look, perhaps I may have seen that Jack was not observing them as closely as I was.”

Billboard has reached out to Antonoff’s reps for comment.

Dunham and the former Fun band member have since gone on to marry other people, with the former wedding Luis Felber in 2021 and the latter tying the knot with Margaret Qualley in 2023. Elsewhere in Famesick, the director shares details of her emotional breakup from Antonoff and admits to cheating on him with a former middle school flame days before their split.

Antonoff’s work as a producer has only expanded exponentially in the years since the time period described in Dunham’s memoir. In 2022, he won his first of three consecutive Grammys for producer of the year, nonclassical, and has worked on Billboard 200-topping albums by Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter.

His band Bleachers is currently gearing up to drop new album Everyone for Ten Minutes in May.
