Carrot Top was extorted over sex tape before alleged suicide attempt: docs

Carrot Top (real name: Scott Thompson) was being extorted over a sex tape prior to his reported suicide attempt Friday, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.

Ronnie Bitman, the comedian’s attorney, claimed in a Sept. 3 filing in Broward County, Florida, that musician Brian Evans — a previous opening performer for Thompson’s long-running show at Las Vegas’ Luxor Hotel and Casino — threatened to leak an X-rated video of his client if he wasn’t paid.

“Evans demands immediate payment of significant sums and states that, absent immediate payment, a sexually explicit recording of Thompson will be filed in the public court file so that it may be obtained and disseminated by the press and other parties,” Bitman wrote, in part.
