billboard.com — October 3, 2024 at 11:00 PM UTC

Garth Brooks is facing a lawsuit filed by an unnamed hairstylist and makeup artist, who alleges he sexually assaulted her in 2019. The lawsuit claims he raped her in a hotel room and engaged in other inappropriate behavior. The plaintiff's attorneys accuse Brooks of using his power to exploit her financial troubles. They also allege he filed a separate lawsuit to silence her, calling it an attempt to control and intimidate his accusers. Brooks has not yet responded to the new allegations. His representatives previously described the earlier lawsuit as false and an attempt at extortion.
