    Garth Brooks, a country music household name, was accused of sexual assault and battery by a former hair and makeup artist who claimed he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019.

    The lawsuit, filed Thursday in a Jane Roe court in California and obtained by USA TODAY, alleges that Brooks, 62, “took an opportunity to subject a female employee to a side of Brooks that he exposed to the public.” keeps hidden. Brooks’ side believes he is entitled to sexual gratification whenever he wants it, and using a female employee to get it is fair game.”

    Prior to Roe’s filing, it was reported by CNN that an anonymous celebrity plaintiff — now known to be Brooks — tried to stop his accuser from publicly repeating her accusations and expanding the claims of assault, battery, sexual assault and rape to deny.

    Thursday’s lawsuit follows an apparent attempt by Brooks to block the sexual abuse claims from public view through a lawsuit he, as John Doe, filed in Mississippi federal court on September 13, the same day the country singer announced conclusion of his Las Vegas case. residence.

    John Doe of Brooks’ filing last month alleged that the sexual abuse claims would “irreparably harm plaintiff’s reputation, family, career and livelihood.” Brooks has been married to Grammy Award-winning country star Trisha Yearwood since 2005.

    USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Brooks and Yearwood for comment.

    In a statement to USA TODAY, Roe’s attorneys “applaud our client’s courage in moving forward with her complaints against Garth Brooks.”

    “Today’s complaint demonstrates that sexual predators exist not only in corporate America, Hollywood, and the rap and rock ‘n’ roll industries, but also in the world of country music,” said attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor , Jeanne M. Christensen and Hayley Baker. in the statement. “We are confident that Brooks will be held accountable for his actions and his attempts to silence our client by filing a preemptive complaint in Mississippi was nothing more than an act of desperation and attempted intimidation. We encourage others who may have been victimized to contact us as no survivor should suffer in silence.”

    Former employee of Garth Brooks claims sexual abuse started in 2019

    The lawsuit alleges that the unnamed makeup artist, Jane Roe, was first hired in 1999 as a hairstylist and makeup artist for Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood. In the lawsuit, Roe claims she continued to work for Yearwood “over the years, and for many other celebrities.”

    In 2017, she started doing makeup and hairstyling for Brooks. The alleged abuse began two years later.

    According to the complaint, when Roe was at Brooks’ home to style his hair and do his makeup, “she looked up in horror as Brooks walked out of the shower naked, with an erection and his penis pointing at Ms.” Roe.” He then grabbed her hands “and forced them onto his erect penis,” the complaint said.

    Another instance where Roe claims Brooks sexually assaulted her was in May 2019 when she and the 14-time Grammy nominee traveled to Los Angeles to attend a Grammy tribute for R&B singer Sam Moore. Roe and Brooks were the only passengers on his private jet, the lawsuit alleges, and Brooks booked a one-bedroom hotel suite without a separate room for the makeup artist.

    Again, Brooks allegedly made sexual advances by “appearing in the doorway of the bedroom, completely naked,” the lawsuit states. “Ms. Roe immediately felt a sick feeling in her stomach, knowing she was stuck in the room alone with Brooks, unaided and far away from Nashville.”

    The lawsuit states that Roe felt like “her worst fears were coming true” when the country singer “towered over her” and “she could not escape his physical domination.”

    The lawsuit states: “She was unable to break free from his grasp and was terrified of what was happening to her. As he held her upside down, dangling from her ankles, all the blood rushed to her head, making her dizzy and nauseous. As Brooks vigorously penetrated her, he said perverse things to Ms. Roe about his sexual prowess.”

    After the alleged rape, the lawsuit states that Brooks had “cold contempt” for Roe as she continued to do his hair and makeup for the Grammy event.

    Brooks also allegedly discussed sexual acts and sexual fantasies, sent sexually explicit text messages and suggested sexual threesomes with Yearwood and Roe.
