Country Singer Garth Brooks Denies Hair-and-Makeup Stylist’s Rape Accusation
As a fervent admirer of Garth Brooks and his illustrious career that spans decades, it is with a heavy heart I find myself compelled to express my deep concern over the recent allegations against him. The man who brought us hits like “Friends in Low Places” and “The Thunder Rolls,” whose concerts were a spectacle of arena-rock showmanship, and who transcended the boundaries of country music with his pop-infused sensibilities – this is not the image I have of him.
LOS ANGELES — A woman who says she worked as a hair-and-makeup stylist for Garth Brooks alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday that he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019.
In a court case filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court, the female plaintiff is identified as Jane Roe instead of using her real name. At the time of our inquiry, an email to her representative, both the publicist and lawyer, remained unanswered.
According to the court filing, the woman claims that she has been employed by Trisha Yearwood, Brooks’ wife, since 1999, and began working for Brooks himself in the year 2017.
She mentioned that the incident happened during her journey from Nashville to Los Angeles, as she was accompanying Brooks who was collaborating with soul singer Sam Moore for a Grammy Awards tribute concert to Moore in October 2019.
Typically, Brooks would be accompanied by a group, but on this occasion, they flew privately without anyone else, and only a single hotel suite was reserved for the two of them, as stated in the court documents.
The woman alleges that in the suite, he appeared naked in the doorway to the bedroom and raped her.
The suit acted like the incident never occurred, presuming she would attend to his grooming needs – hair and makeup – straight away.
It’s claimed that back in 2019, while she was at Brooks’ residence, he exposed himself to her without clothes, took hold of her hands, and guided them towards his private areas.
The lawsuit says that Brooks filed his own preemptive lawsuit in federal court in Mississippi last month, in which both him and the woman are anonymous.
In the documents related to that legal matter, the individual referred to as John Doe contends that the accusations are entirely false. He claims to have become aware of these allegations for the first time in July, when she threatened to instigate a public lawsuit against him unless he paid her a substantial amount of money.
He asks a judge to stop the woman from “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.”
The woman’s suit alleges that Brooks repeatedly exposed himself to her, discussed inappropriate sexual topics with her, and transmitted lewd text messages to her on multiple occasions.
She stated that due to severe financial struggles, she felt compelled to continue working for Brooks, a situation he was aware of and exploited.
The lawyer’s response regarding her claim to the police was not promptly received after I sent an email about it.
62-year-old Brooks, born in Oklahoma, was the most prominent figure in 90’s country music, with popular songs like “Friends in Low Places” and “The Thunder Rolls.” His concerts showcased arena-rock spectacle, and his recordings reflected a pop-music mindset. He achieved success that extended far beyond the usual country music fanbase.
In 2005, he tied the knot with his fellow nationwide music icon, Yearwood. There wasn’t an initial reaction from Yearwood’s representative when reached out for comment regarding the legal matter.
