More about lawsuit against Garth Brooks
A day after the couple sold their mansion, a woman who calls herself Jane Roe and who identifies as a former employee of the couple, who worked as Garth Brooks' makeup artist and hairstylist, accused him of sexual assault and battery.
In the lawsuit, Jane alleges that the singer r*ped her and committed multiple instances of s*xual assault in 2019. She claimed that he would openly discuss s*x and fantasies, change his clothes in her presence while exposing his gen*tals, and send her explicit text messages.
Jane Roe's attorneys, Douglas H. Wigdor, Jeanne M. Christensen, and Hayley Baker, released a statement stating that they are "confident that Brooks will be held accountable" and encouraging other victims to come forward.
Roe also claimed that Brooks' legal team was aware of her plans to sue and made Garth Brooks file a preemptive complaint as John Doe on September 13, claiming that Roe was "a lying extortionist who intended on destroying his professional reputation."
Garth Brooks, in a statement to PEOPLE, while responding to the lawsuit allegations, mentioned that for the last two months, he had received threats, lies, and what his future would be if he did not pay Roe millions of dollars.
"It has been like having a loaded fun waved in my face. Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that meeans I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of."

He also revealed that the couple had filed a lawsuit anonymously for the "sake of families on both sides" against Jane Roe a month ago, accusing her of "extortion and defamation of character." He claimed that Jane Roe's allegations were a result of extortion after he denied "salaried employment and medical benefits" for Roe.
In last month's filing, Brooks alleged that the claims by Jane Roe "would irreparably harm plaintiff's reputation, family, career and livelihood.
