Brian Littrell and his wife, Leighanne, have been in the middle of a trespassing dispute concerning their Florida beach house, which they bought in 2023 for $3.8 million. Although they have put up no trespassing signs and hired private security, they claim that multiple people have trespassed on their property.
One lawsuit that the Littrells filed in 2025 was dismissed in February, but they have since filed an amended complaint against defendant Carolyn Barrington Hill for emotional distress. According to the Littrells, many people in their small town haven’t responded well to these legal battles and have been sending them physical threats.
“It will eventually come out,” Brian said. “But all the pictures and the documents that we have from social media and the threats, the physical threats to my family. They’ve talked about burning our house down. They’ve talked about bringing guns. They’ve said, ‘Yeah, guns are allowed in Florida.’ They want to spray us with mace. They want to punch my teeth out… It’s, like, crazy.”
The Littrells claim that they have also received threats about servers spitting in their food at local restaurants. When discussing the situation, Leighanne said, “It’s scary to have to be in this small community with a lot of angry people, honestly, and then making us out to be these monsters that we’re not. We love this town, but now we don’t know where to eat because of who hates us.”
In response to the accusations, Hill’s attorney said: “Ms. Hill continues to defend her right to visit the shoreline of the Gulf on this particular beach, as she has for decades.” However, Brian’s attorneys argue that the beach is the family’s backyard.
Although Brian admits the dispute has been hard on the whole family, he also said: “We’ve been attacked for close to a little over two years now that this has been going on, and I don’t want to give anybody my joy. I don’t want somebody to take away my joy as well. So that to me as a father, as a husband, as [a] provider, it’s, like, that’s my job.”
