Garth Brooks names rape accuser in court filings amid blackmail claims

Garth Brooks has publicly named his rape accuser, identified as a former make-up artist, in new court filings. This follows his earlier denial of the allegations made against him in California, which he claims are part of a blackmail attempt. Brooks argues that the accusations stem from the accuser's anger over a rejected job request. He is seeking a court ruling to declare the allegations false and is pursuing damages exceeding $75,000. In response to Brooks revealing her identity, the accuser's legal team plans to seek sanctions against him. Brooks has also expanded his legal team, adding a prominent attorney to assist in the ongoing case.
