Garth Brooks has been accused of sexual assault.
On October 3, an anonymous woman filed a lawsuit claiming she had worked as the iconic singer’s makeup artist and stylist since 2017. The woman also said she was hired to do wife Trisha Yearwood’s makeup in 1999.
In legal documents, the woman alleges that Brooks raped her in various incidents five years ago, made him undress in front of her, exposed her genitals and buttocks, and openly talked about sex and sexual fantasies with her. He claims to have spoken.
“Brooks increased the frequency of his sexual conversations with Ms. Rowe, including repeated statements about having threesomes with his wife, in which he implied that Mr. Rowe would be the third person,” the lawsuit said. the woman who is accused of doing so wrote in the lawsuit. .
Jane Roe said she quit her job at Brooks and moved to Mississippi around May 2021.
On Thursday night, Mr. Brooks released a statement responding to the horrific allegations.
“For the past two months, I have been bombarded with endless threats, lies, and tragic stories about what my future will be if I don’t write a check for millions of dollars. It’s like holding a loaded gun in my face. “I felt like I was being dumped,” the message begins.
Brooks, perhaps the most successful country artist of all time, added:
“Hush money is still hush money, more or less. In my mind, it’s me admitting something I can’t do myself, something ugly that no human being should ever do to another. means.
“We filed a lawsuit against this person almost a month ago against extortion and defamation.
“We filed anonymously on behalf of both families.”
This is the first time the singer has spoken publicly about the lawsuit, although he previously denied the woman’s claims in a complaint filed in an attempt to stop her accusations from spreading.
In his filing, Brooks said the woman was a “liar and extortionist intent on destroying her professional reputation,” adding:
“[Her] The suspicion is not true. [She] However, it is important to note that such false allegations would cause significant and irreparable damage to Plaintiff’s reputation as a decent and caring person, and the resulting unavoidable damage to his family. He is well aware of the damage and the irreparable damage to his career and livelihood. If she followed through on her threat to “publicly file” a trumped-up lawsuit.
“Indeed, such knowledge definitely explains why [she] Rather than simply sue to recover her alleged (but untrue) injuries, she threatened to sue through a “confidential” demand letter. ”
On October 3, Mr. Brooks concluded his response with the following:
I want to play music tonight. I would like to continue doing good deeds. It breaks my heart that these wonderful things are now being called into question.
I trust the system, I’m not afraid of the truth, and I’m not the person they painted me to be..
Yearwood, who married Brooks in 2005, has yet to address the scandal.
