Country music star Garth Brooks is facing serious allegations of rape and sexual assault from his former hairstylist and makeup artist, identified as “Jane Roe,” who filed a lawsuit on October 3. The accusations, which involve incidents from 2019, come just one day after Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood, sold their Tennessee mansion for $3.334 million. Brooks has denied the allegations, calling them part of an extortion attempt, and filed a preemptive lawsuit in September. The case has raised questions about the singer’s future and personal reputation.
Trisha Yearwood Sells Tennessee Mansion Amid Allegations Against Garth Brooks
Just a day before serious allegations were brought against Garth Brooks, his wife Trisha Yearwood finalized the sale of their Tennessee mansion. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home located in Brentwood sold for $3.334 million on October 2, according to Realtor.com. Yearwood originally purchased the property in 2000, years before she married Brooks in 2005. The 6,553-square-foot home, which spans over 4.42 acres, was initially listed for $4.5 million in May 2023 but saw multiple price reductions before selling.
The luxury home boasts numerous features, including two gated entrances, a high-tech surveillance system, and a state-of-the-art kitchen equipped with Wolf appliances and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Despite the spacious layout and modern amenities, the price of the home continued to drop over the months, leading to its eventual sale. Yearwood has not commented publicly on her husband’s current legal issues or the sale of the property.
Sexual Assault Lawsuit Filed Against Garth Brooks
On October 3, Garth Brooks was accused of rape and sexual assault by his former hairstylist and makeup artist, identified in court documents as “Jane Roe.” The lawsuit claims that Brooks committed multiple instances of sexual misconduct in 2019, including exposing himself and sending sexually explicit messages. Roe further alleges that Brooks’ legal team attempted to block the lawsuit by filing a preemptive complaint, accusing her of extortion.
In response to the allegations, Brooks released a statement denying the claims, calling them an attempt at extortion. He stated that he has been facing threats and demands for hush money for several months but refuses to give in to what he describes as “lies” and “defamation of character.” Brooks emphasized his faith in the legal system and expressed his desire to move past the controversy to focus on his music and charitable endeavors.
