A lawsuit filed against country singer Garth Brooks accuses the 62-year-old of sexual misconduct, including assault and sexual battery. The accuser referred to as “Jane Roe” alleges the incidents happened over the course of several years while working for Brooks as a hairstylist and makeup artist. NBC’s Stephanie Gosk reports for TODAY.
Country music superstar Garth Brooks has named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape in a lawsuit last week. In an amended complaint filed in federal court in Mississippi on Tuesday, Brooks’ lawyers publicized the accuser’s name. And in another filing, they said that Brooks “is the victim of a shakedown” and that the woman “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case.
The man asked the court to preserve the parties’ anonymity by allowing them to use pseudonyms. In response, the woman’s attorneys wrote in a separate filing last week that they intended to sue the man in California, saying, “Ms. Roe respectfully requests that she may commence her California action as she intended to do, and use Mr. Doe’s name, absent objection from this Honorable Court.” Two days later, the woman filed her lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
