Garth Brooks released a statement to People Magazine after the news of the alleged sexual assault was filed.

“For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face.”

Brooks added, “Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of — ugly acts no human should ever do to another. We filed suit against this person nearly a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation of character.  We filed it anonymously for the sake of families on both sides.”

In conclusion, Brooks said, “I want to play music tonight. I want to continue our good deeds going forward. It breaks my heart these wonderful things are in question now. I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be.”

On Wednesday evening, Brooks shared on social media after his show in Las Vegas, “If there was ever a night that I really needed this, TONIGHT was that night! Thank you for my life!!!!!
love, g”

Original story 

A lawsuit has been filed against country music artist Garth Brooks. Brooks is accused of sexual assault and battery, reports CNN.

The suit was filed in California by a “Jane Roe” who worked as a hairstylist and makeup artist for the Brooks. Roe began working for Brooks in 2017 and was initially hired by his wife, Trisha Yearwood in 1999.

Brooks claims defendant Roe’s attorney sent him a “confidential” demand letter alleging sexual misconduct after he declined Roe’s request for “salaried employment and medical benefits.”

CNN stated, “Defendant’s allegations are not true,” Brooks’ previous lawsuit states. “Defendant is well aware, however, of the substantial, irreparable damage such false allegations would do to Plaintiff’s well-earned reputation as a decent and caring person, along with the unavoidable damage to his family and the irreparable damage to his career and livelihood that would result if she made good on her threat to ‘publicly file’ her fabricated lawsuit.”

Roe’s attorneys shared with CNN that Brooks’ “efforts to silence our client through the filing of a preemptive complaint in Mississippi was nothing other than an act of desperation and attempted intimidation.”
