Garth Brooks accused of sexual assault and battery by his makeup artist in a new lawsuit

A former makeup artist for Garth Brooks accused the country music star of assault and battery in a lawsuit filed Thursday.

Brooks, 62, allegedly raped “Jane Roe” in 2019 during a business trip, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The woman was first hired in 1999 to style Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood. She started working for Brooks in 2017, a few years before the alleged events occurred.

The country music star has reportedly filed a lawsuit in an attempt to block the makeup artist’s upcoming lawsuit, according to CNN. In the document, filed under “John Doe,” Brooks denied the woman’s claims.

Representatives for Brooks and Yearwood did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
