Garth Brooks faces lawsuit over sexual assault allegations from former makeup artist
Garth Brooks is facing a lawsuit from his former hairstylist and makeup artist, who accuses him of assault, battery, and sexual battery. The lawsuit claims Brooks engaged in inappropriate behavior and raped her during a work trip in 2019. The woman, referred to as Jane Roe, alleges that Brooks made sexual advances and exposed himself to her. She stopped working for him and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, in 2021. Roe is seeking monetary damages and claims Brooks retaliated by filing a preemptive lawsuit against her. Brooks has denied the allegations, stating that Roe's claims are false and damaging to his reputation. His legal team argues that her lawsuit is an act of desperation.
