Garth Brooks Accused of Sexual Assault and Battery by Hairstylist

Garth Brooks has been accused of sexual assault and battery by a woman who says she worked as his hairstylist and makeup artist.

The woman, identified as "Jane Roe," filed the complaint on Thursday, October 3. According to CNN, the woman claims Brooks, 62, raped her during a 2019 work trip. Brooks previously denied the accuser's claims. Us Weekly has reached out to him for comment.

According to the lawsuit, Roe began working for the country star in 2017 after initially being hired to do hair and makeup for his wife, Trisha Yearwood, in 1999. In addition to sexual assault and battery, Roe claims that Brooks sent her sexually explicit text messages, repeatedly exposed his genital and buttocks to her and discussed his sexual fantasies in front of her. Roe described one alleged 2019 incident in which she claims Brooks walked out of the shower naked and "grabbed her hands and forced them" onto his genitals.

Roe further claimed that Brooks made "repeated remarks" about "having a threesome" with Yearwood, 60, whom Brooks wed in 2005.

Prior to Roe's filing, Brooks anonymously filed a complaint attempting to block Roe from repeating her allegations and vehemently denying the claims.

"Defendant's allegations are not true," the filing claimed. "Defendant is well aware, however, of the substantial, irreparable damage such false allegations would do to Plaintiff's well-earned reputation as a decent and caring person, along with the unavoidable damage to his family and the irreparable damage to his career and livelihood that would result if she made good on her threat to ‘publicly file' her fabricated lawsuit."
