Garth Brooks

According to multiple outlets, including CNN, Garth Brooks has been accused of sexual assault and battery by a woman who says she worked for him as a hairstylist and makeup artist.

Named “Jane Roe” in the complaint, filed in a state court in California today (Oct. 3), she claims that she was raped by Brooks during a work trip in 2019. The suit alleges that Roe began handling hair and makeup services for Brooks in 2017, and that she was first hired to do hair and makeup for his wife, Trisha Yearwood, in 1999.

Brooks has responded to the allegations, stating, “For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face.

“Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of—ugly acts no human should ever do to another.

“We filed suit against this person nearly a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation of character. We filed it anonymously for the sake of families on both sides.

“I want to play music tonight,” he says in reference to his Las Vegas residency show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. “I want to continue our good deeds going forward. It breaks my heart these wonderful things are in question now. I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be.”
