Lawsuit: Oklahoma Country Music Star Garth Brooks Accused Of Sexual Assault, Battery

Country music star Garth Brooks is accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit according to a complaint filed in California on Thursday.

The complaint from "Jane Roe," who says she was a hairstylist and makeup artist for Brooks, states that the alleged incidents occurred in 2019.

The complaint alleges that Jane Roe worked for Brooks' wife in 2017, but began working for Brooks as well in 2019.

Jane Roe alleges that Brooks became aware that Roe was experiencing financial difficulties, and used his continual additional income as a way to take advantage.

What does the complaint say?

The complaint alleges that Brooks took advantage of Roe's financial difficulties. Roe claims that in 2019, Brooks sexually assaulted her on a trip to Los Angeles.

Roe claims that Brooks brought her alone on his private plane, and booked a single hotel room for them to share. It was there that Roe claims Brooks sexually assaulted her.

Brooks was accused of regularly speaking of sexual objects, changing clothing in front of Roe, sending explicit text messages, and frequently making sexually explicit remarks.

The complaint also alleges that in October of 2019, Brooks groped Roe on a separate trip to Los Angeles.

The complaint notes that due to the frequency of his alleged actions, it is "inevitable that other employees of Brooks likely saw or heard."

Roe claims that she was unable to continue working for Brooks, and around May 2021 moved states.

Roe also claimed that when her counsel contacted Brooks to disclose that she was prepared to file a complaint, Brooks allegedly filed a preemptive abusive complaint against Roe on September 13, 2024.

The complaint claims that Brooks' complaint calls Roe a lying extremist intent on destroying his professional reputation.

Brooks is accused of assault, battery, and sexual battery.
