Garth Brook’s Sexual Assault Lawsuit & Legal Battle

A lawsuit was recently filed against Garth, accusing him of multiple instances of sexual misconduct. The case was brought under the name Jane Roe, an alias to protect the identity of the alleged victim.

Jane claims that she began working for Brooks back in 2017. Prior to that, she worked on and off as a hairstylist for his wife Trisha Yearwood. She alleges that the alleged assault took place in 2019.

The allegations brought in the lawsuit accuse him of raping her, sending explicit messages, and more.

In response, Garth has released a statement in which he not only denies that any of her allegations ever happened, but that Jane Roe has been harassing him.

Brooks claims that he’s been threatened for the last two months to give up some “hush money” to the alleged victim and that he actually filed a defamation case against her, a month before she filed her lawsuit.

Some People Are Leaving Garth’s Fanbase

Arguably one of the biggest country music stars of all time, Garth has gained quite a large fanbase over the years.

While some are sticking by the singer no matter what, evident by his recent performance, others are quickly removing him from their favorites list.

  • “How hard is it to not sexually assault/batter women???? Omg.”
  • “To know that he did this is beyond deeply disappointing…I hope the victims get the support and justice they deserve.”
