- Both sides are gearing up for a legal showdown over the claims.
Country music superstar Garth Brooks is in some serious hot water. Recently, a woman named Jane Roe filed a battery lawsuit against him, claiming he s*xually assaulted her during a work trip in 2019.
Roe started providing hair and makeup services for Brooks in 2017, but she was first hired to work on his wife, Trisha Yearwood, back in 1999. Also, this isn’t just a tabloid headline—it’s a full-blown legal drama unfolding right before our eyes.
Roe has alleged some pretty wild things went down. But hold up! Before we dive deep, let’s talk about the context. Brooks has been hit with accusations that have his fans gasping and his reputation on the line.
He’s fired back, claiming this is all a big attempt to extort him. With all the drama, it’s hard to know who to believe. So, let’s break down the allegations, his response, and the crazy details that have surfaced so far.
What Are the Allegations Against Garth Brooks?
According to Fox News, in the battery lawsuit, Joe Roe claimed that during a work trip to L.A. in 2019, G. Brooks crossed some major lines. The whole thing started when they boarded his private jet, but that’s where it got dicey.
Roe alleged that Brooks booked a one-bedroom hotel suite, leaving her feeling “trapped.” She claimed that when they arrived, Brooks strutted out of the shower completely naked. Roe said he grabbed her hands and forced them to touch his g*nitals while he spoke to her in vulgar terms.
That’s a serious accusation. She also claimed that Chris Gaines would frequently share his “fantasies” after that, which is just… well, no thanks! And it doesn’t stop there. Roe alleged that Brooks repeatedly exposed himself and sent her s*xually explicit messages too.
Not the kind of behavior you expect from your country music idol, right? The lawsuit also stated him making “repeated remarks” about “having a thr**some” with his wife. So, what’s the Oklahoma native’s response to it? He vehemently denied all these claims.
The Dance star fired back, saying he’s been getting nonstop threats and lies for the past couple months, with people trying to make him cough up millions. He filed a complaint against Roe before she even went public, claiming she was trying to extort him.
Jane Roe’s Attorneys Accuse Garth Brooks of Predatory Behavior
Garth Brooks filed a complaint before Joe Roe made her lawsuit public, attempting to stop her from airing these claims. The singer claimed this was to protect his family and reputation. The 62-year-old described it as a “confidential demand letter” from her lawyer, which came after he had denied her requests for cash and benefits.
Roe’s lawyers are not having it. Attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor, Jeanne M. Christensen, and Hayley Baker told CNN in a statement that his preemptive move was just a way to intimidate her.
They’re standing by their client and saying that she’s brave for taking a stand. They even pointed out that predators can be found in all corners of life—not just in Hollywood or corporate offices, but in country music too. Check out their quote below:
We believe Brooks will face the consequences for his actions. We commend our client for her bravery in pursuing this complaint against Garth Brooks. This case shows that s*xual predators aren’t just found in corporate America or Hollywood; they’re also in country music.
So, with both sides gearing up for battle, the courtroom drama is just heating up. Will Brooks clear his name, or is this a story of a country star’s downfall? The answers are still out there.
