Garth Brooks accused of sexual assault and battery in lawsuit from hair-and-makeup artist who worked for him

nota bene said:

I can't say I'm not shocked. I hope the allegations are untrue, but if they are true, I hope that Brooks will face the same justice does. From CNN:

Country music star Garth Brooks has been accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit from a “Jane Roe” who says she worked as a hairstylist and makeup artist for the award-winning singer.

The complaint, filed in a state court in California on Thursday and obtained by CNN, states the alleged incidents occurred in 2019. She claims she was once raped by Brooks during a work trip.

Brooks had previously denied his accuser’s claims, though representatives for the country superstar did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment in response to Roe’s new lawsuit.

Prior to Roe’s filing and as first reported by CNN, an anonymous celebrity plaintiff – now disclosed to be Brooks – had tried to block Roe from publicly repeating her allegations and fiercely denied the claims, according to a previous complaint he had filed as a “John Doe.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/03/entertainment/garth-brooks-accused-sexual-assault/index.html

Don't really see it in Garth, but that 'fame and fortune privilege'? Think you'll have your way.....

Wait to see how it pans out. Legit, or going for a payday?
No witnesses, it's a 'he said, she said'.

Will people be brought forward who she confided in at the time several years ago?

I have to agree with you. This isn't Garth Brooks character, but you never know. People get a clear sense of someone, and I don't see him forcing himself on anyone.

She's seeking a jury trial. I doubt she'd be encouraged to do this if her counsel didn't think they could win.

Perhaps.

Or perhaps she and her attorney have been encouraged by the recent example where an "excentric" woman sued Trump for alleged sexual harassment with (if I recall correctly) no evidence other than a couple of friends who testified she had told them about it way back when. She won the case and was awarded several million dollars. Trump is appealing that case too.

The evidence will determine the outcome.
