Country music star Garth Brooks has been accused of sexual assault and sexual assault in a lawsuit filed by "Jane Roy," who claims she worked as the award-winning singer's hairstylist and makeup artist.
The complaint, obtained by CNN and filed Thursday in a California court, says the alleged incident occurred in 2019. She claims Brooke raped her while on a business trip.
Brooks previously denied the prosecutor's allegations, though representatives for the country star did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment on Roy's new trial. Before Roy filed the lawsuit, as first reported by CNN, an anonymous celebrity accuser, now revealed to be Brooks, had tried to dissuade Roy from repeating his accusation publicly and vehemently denied it, according to an earlier complaint he filed under the identity "John ", Ministry of Energy.
According to her lawsuit, which says she was first hired in 1999 to do hair and makeup for Brooks' wife, Trisha Annwood, Roy began providing hair and makeup services to Brooks in 2017.
CNN has reached out to Yearwood's representatives for comment. In addition to the sexual assault and battery, the lawsuit accuses Brooks of repeatedly exposing his genitals and buttocks, as well as regularly changing his clothes in front of Roy and sending sexual text messages.
Roy claims in her filing that in an alleged incident in 2019, when she was working at Brooks' home, Brooks got out of the shower naked and "grabbed her hands and forced them" on her genitals during sexual contact with her. In another alleged incident in May 2019, the lawsuit alleges that Brooks raped Roy in a hotel room during a business trip to Los Angeles, where Brooks was recording a Grammy tribute performance.
According to the lawsuit, Brooks and Roy traveled to Los Angeles on Brooks' private jet. "Normally there are other people on Brooks' private jet, but on this occasion Ms. Roy and Brooks were the only two passengers," the complaint states. rooms."
When they arrived at their hotel suite, Roy claimed the country singer "appeared naked in the bedroom doorway." Roja's complaint said she felt "trapped in a room with Brooks."
Roy claims that after the alleged rape, Brooks continued to tell her about his sexual fantasies and physically touch her more often. The indictment states that Brooks "repeatedly made comments" about a "threesome" with his wife.
Brooks alleged in the complaint, filed as plaintiff John Doe, that after denying Roy's request for "paid employment and health care," defendant Roy's attorneys sent him a "confidential letter" alleging sexual misconduct.
"Defendant's allegations are false," Brooks' previous lawsuit said. "However, the defendants are well aware that such false accusations will cause immense and irreparable damage to the plaintiff's good reputation as a decent and caring man, as well as inevitable damage to his family, and his career and livelihood have been irreparably damaged.
Roy's attorneys told CNN that Brooks "oppressed our client by previously filing a complaint in Mississippi, which is nothing more than an act of desperation and an attempt at intimidation."
"We believe that Brooks will be held accountable for his actions," said attorneys Douglas H. Vigdor and Jeanne M. Christensen and Hayley Baker said in a statement to CNN. “We applaud our customers for their courage in continuing to complain about Garth Brooks. The indictment filed today shows that sexual predators exist not only in corporate America, Hollywood and the rap and rock industries, but also in country music.
