The comments came after Brooks was charged sexual assault In October, an assault lawsuit was filed by a former hair and makeup artist for allegedly raping her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019.

In the lawsuit filed by Jane Roe in a California court and obtained by USA TODAY, Jane Roe claimed that she was first hired as a hairstylist and makeup artist for Yearwood in 1999 and continued to work for her “for years.” She started doing makeup and hairstyling for Brooks in 2017. The alleged abuse began two years later.

Brooks has been married to Yearwood since 2005.

Roe recalled multiple incidents of harassment, including the alleged presence at Brooks’ home to style her hair and put on makeup and that he “came out of the shower naked, with an erection, and pointed his penis at Ms. Roe.” He then grabbed the woman’s hands and “forced them towards his erect penis,” the lawsuit said.

Roe’s attorneys — Douglas H. Wigdor, Jeanne M. Christensen and Hayley Baker — condemned Brooks for naming their client in a statement to USA TODAY at the time.

“Garth Brooks has just revealed his true identity,” the lawyers said. “Without any legal justification, Brooks exposed her because he felt the law did not apply to him.”

Brooks, who denied all of Roe’s allegations, called himself “the victim of a concussion.”
