Garth Brooks Responds to Sexual Assault

According to Rolling Stones, Brooks revealed that for the past two months, he has faced constant pressure to pay millions to avoid the lawsuit. He described the experience as having a “loaded gun waved in my face,” suggesting that the demands felt threatening. The accusations surfaced when Roe filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County, claiming Brooks sexually assaulted her while she worked for him and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.

Details of the Lawsuit

The lawsuit alleges that the first incident happened during a styling session at Brooks’ home. There he allegedly approached Roe naked and forced her hands onto his body. She claims Brooks asked her to perform a sexual act. She refused and continued working for him due to financial dependence. Roe also accused Brooks of groping her and sending explicit messages. A second incident allegedly occurred during a trip to Los Angeles, where she says Brooks raped her in a hotel room.

Brooks Stands Firm in His Defense

Before the lawsuit was officially filed, Brooks preemptively denied the accusations last month, calling them extortion and defamation. In his Thursday statement, he emphasized, “Hush money is still hush money,” and refused to pay to avoid the allegations. Brooks maintained his innocence, saying he filed a countersuit to protect his reputation and that of the families involved. He concluded by expressing his faith in the legal system, stating, “I trust the system, I do not fear the truth.” As he prepares for a performance in Las Vegas, Brooks expressed heartbreak over the situation but remained focused on his music and good deeds moving forward.
