A multi award winning country megastar has been accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit filed by a former employee. Garth Brooks, 62, who is married to fellow country music icon Trisha Yearwood, is alleged to have raped a hairstylist during a work trip in 2019.

An anonymous “Jane Roe” filed the complaint in a California court, where she claimed that the assault happened after she began working with him in 2017 - 18 years after working with his wife Trisha.

She alleged that in two separate incidents, he inappropriately touched her with force — once at his home and another in a hotel room during a trip for a Grammy tribute performance, according to court documents obtained by The Mirror US.

The Grammy winner is facing allegations of assault, battery, and sexual battery. Additionally, he was accused of violating the Bane Act, Ralph Act, and committing gender based violence.

The complaint states: “Usually there were others on Brooks’ private jet but this time, Ms. Roe and Brooks were the only two passengers. Once in Los Angeles at the hotel, Ms. Roe could not believe that Brooks had booked a hotel suite with one bedroom and she did not have a separate room.”

Prior to the filing, Brooks filed a request to a Mississippi court in an effort to label the sexual assault accusers allegations as not true before she even filed the suit. At the time of his filing, he reportedly entered the request anonymously under the name “John Doe,” but his identity was later revealed to The Mirror.
