Garth Brooks faces lawsuit from hair-and-makeup artist alleging rape in 2019 incident
A hair-and-makeup artist has filed a lawsuit against country music star Garth Brooks, alleging he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019. The woman, identified as Jane Roe, claims the incident occurred after a Grammy Awards event. The lawsuit details that Brooks and the woman traveled alone on his private jet and shared a hotel suite. She alleges he appeared naked in the suite and assaulted her, then expected her to continue working immediately afterward. Brooks has denied the allegations in a separate preemptive lawsuit, claiming they are false and arose from a threat for money. He seeks to stop the woman from making further claims against him.
