Jimmie Allen and his wife Alexis Gale filed for divorce after having 'irreconcilable differences.'
, a woman, who worked as Allen's former manager, filed a lawsuit on Thursday in Tennessee federal court in which she claims that during a work trip to Los Angeles in March 2021, Allen allegedly raped her following his appearance as a celebrity guest on The woman, who is identified only as"Jane Doe" in the report, claims Allen repeatedly subjected her to sexual abuse and harassment over the course of 18 months as his day-to-day manager.
The woman is also suing her former employer, Wide Open Music , as well as the firm's founder, Ash Bowers, claiming the management company and Bowers were negligent. Doe claims she reported Allen's alleged verbal harassment to her boss on numerous occasions and it was only after she told Bowers that Allen allegedly raped her that Wide Open Music dropped Allen as a client, a move that quietly happened in late 2022.
In a statement to ET provided by his attorney, Allen admits to having had a"sexual relationship" with the woman suing him, but claims it was consensual for nearly two years. He also vows to"mount a vigorous defense" to Doe's claims. "It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever," the statement reads."I acknowledge that we had a sexual relationship -- one that lasted for nearly two years. During that time she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely.
The statement continued,"Only after things ended between us, did she hire a lawyer to reach out and ask for money, which leads me to question her motives. The simple fact is, her accusations are not only false, but also extremely damaging. I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation.
