I'm not a country fan but this guy is a country giant. He comes across as a clean nice guy, but you never know. She can be a gold digger or not.


The facts surrounding accusations against Garth Brooks are pretty straight-forward, but that doesn't mean it's clear what happened.

Brooks and the plaintiff — identified as "Jane Roe" — tell two very different stories. He denies her allegations of sexual assault, battery and rape, going as far as to label the claims "extortion."

Through her attorney, Roe says Brooks is trying to silence her, and she's confident the star will be held accountable for his actions.


Below is everything you need to know about these charges and the plaintiff, including a murder-for-hire plot that has not yet been made public.

What Is Garth Brooks Accused Of?
Garth Brooks is being accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit filed by Jane Roe in a state court in California on Oct. 3. The complaint details an alleged rape as well, and further charges Brooks of continued harassment after two specific instances described below.

Who Is Accusing Garth Brooks of Rape and Sexual Assault?
"Jane Roe" (not her real name) is a hairstylist and makeup artist who used to work for Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. She says she began working for Yearwood in 1999 and Brooks in 2017. She says she stopped working for Brooks in 2021, when she moved to Mississippi.

Brooks offers a different story. In a preemptive lawsuit obtained by Taste of Country, he says Roe worked as an independent contractor with him for 15 years prior to her moving from Tennessee to Mississippi in 2020.
What Does Jane Roe Say Happened With Garth Brooks?
Taste of Country has obtained the legal complaint first reported on by CNN. Other outlets like TMZ have shared some of the more graphic details of the 9,000-word document, but even they omitted large portions.

Here are the three most notable charges:

  • In early 2019, Roe says she was at Brooks' home when he walked out of the shower naked, grabbed her hands and forced them onto his genitals while using sexual language.
  • In May of 2019, Roe says she was raped by Brooks in a hotel room during a work trip to Los Angeles, where Brooks was booked to tape a Grammy tribute performance.
  • In late October of 2019, Brooks allegedly brought Roe to L.A. again. When she entered his room to do his hair and makeup, she claims he made it clear he wanted to repeat what had happened in May. The filing notes that, "Ms. Roe managed to escape the situation because he was running late and people were waiting to pick him up."
Per Roe's filing, Brooks learned she was experiencing financial difficulties in early 2019 and began to hire her more often. Talking about sex and describing his sexual fantasies was common, she furthers. He'd also change in front of Roe and expose his genitals and buttocks.

Additionally, she alleges Brooks would grope her breasts while she was doing his hair and makeup and encourage her to exchange sexual text messages. The document includes one specific message sent between the two of them, but also states that in 2020 he reportedly took Roe's phone and deleted most of the text messages that he had sent to her containing sexual content.

There were also emails; Roe says he'd frequently email using a different pseudonym.

She's represented by Douglas Wigdor.

Is There Any Supporting Evidence?
Examples of any potential evidence would be text exchanges, phone records, receipts from the trips to Los Angeles, emails, corroborating witnesses, etc ...

Jane Roe only includes one screenshot of an alleged exchange in her claim, but adds many quotes she says were from her or him. Throughout the filing, she refers to emails and text messages exchanged and also indicates others on Brooks' team witnessed this behavior. She specifically refers to an alleged conversation about a shampoo bottle that was witnessed by Brooks manager, "Randy" (possibly Randy Bernard, Brooks' co-manager).

Other conversations included Yearwood, she says.

Brooks' preemptive lawsuit includes similar quoting and paraphrasing without supporting files. He also refers to a letter of demands, sent in July.

What About the Lawsuit Garth Brooks Filed?
On Sept. 13, Brooks' legal team filed a motion to proceed pseudonymously in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi Northern Division (Jane Roe lives in Mississippi). CNN revealed that Brooks hoped to preemptively stop Roe from filing, or to proceed under John Doe and Jane Doe pseudonyms.

Brooks later confirmed that.

According to John Doe (Brooks) in that suit, Roe's lawyers sent him a demand letter on July 17. It threatened to file a lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct unless he paid her millions of dollars (John Doe's lawsuit's characterization).

"Defendant also alleged a belief that Plaintiff planned to hire someone to murder her," the Sept. 13 claim states.

Furthermore, it reads that in May of 2020, she moved to Mississippi and soon began demanding financial assistance. He acquiesced, but when Roe demanded salaried employment and benefits, he "could no longer agree."

On Aug. 23, 2024, John Doe — listed as Plaintiff in this filing — received another letter offering to refrain from filing in exchange for a multi-million dollar payment. Both of these letters would be examples of evidence to support his side of the story.

Much of John Doe's nine-page document deals with legal precedent to carry this case forward pseudonymously. He's aiming to protect his reputation from "irreparable harm."

He's represented by M. Patrick McDowell.

Garth Brooks' Response to Jane Roe's Allegations:
Hours after Jane Roe's allegations became public, Brooks sent the following to media outlets:

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. 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.

Holy sheisse, they are coming out of the wood work. Many years ago there was a news story on the news about Evil Knievel. He had picked up a woman at a bar and brought her back to his hotel room for the night. The next morning she refused to leave because she thought it would be a long term relationship. He wooped her and threw her out of his room. The cops were called and he was charged with being drunk and disorderly and held in jail for 24 hours. These days they want palimony.

"
  • In May of 2019, Roe says she was raped by Brooks in a hotel room during a work trip to Los Angeles, where Brooks was booked to tape a Grammy tribute performance.
  • In late October of 2019, Brooks allegedly brought Roe to L.A. again. When she entered his room to do his hair and makeup, she claims he made it clear he wanted to repeat what had happened in May."

So, she claims that he raped her in May, 2019, and five months later she's alone with him again. Something about that smells.

The fact that she was alone with him again after the first rape incident is going to harm her. People don’t understand how trauma works. When my abusive ex raped me it was still months before I completely left. I didn’t have sex with him again but it still took months to leave. It took almost a month just to contact the rape crisis centre and start a plan to leave. Then it took months working that plan in counselling to finally leave.

Now I’m not making a judgement of whether he did or didn’t do it but I do know that it is possible to be raped and not report or leave right away.

Hell, I have my ex on video admitting to the rape and I still haven’t gone to police with it. Personally I don’t want to deal with the court battle and the questions of why I didn’t report and leave right away.

Everyone deals with trauma differently and until you have been sexually assaulted, you don’t know what that trauma actually does.

I watched the Garth Brooks documentary a few years ago. His long form sit-down interview was bizarre. He squirmed in his chair, leaned forward and had a wild eyed look on his face for most of it.
It was uncomfortable to watch and listen. He seemed like a complete weirdo.

The situation with your ex is completely different than the business relationship Brooks had with this woman.
After the alleged rape she could have simply not seen him anymore however she kept going back.

Again, trauma works differently for everyone. She could have been in denial. She could have needed the income, she could have had many different reasons.

Again, I’m not saying he did it, but I can’t say that she is lying because she went back and had a “round two”. Was it smart? No but again trauma makes us do strange things.

it does hurt her case though because the logical part of the brain is saying exactly what you said.

So Garth says "I didn't sexually assault her. It was Chris Gaines".
