A former makeup artist for country music star Garth Brooks has filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and battery. The alleged incident took place in 2019 during a work trip, as per court documents.
The makeup artist, known as 'Jane Roe' in the lawsuit, was initially hired in 1999 to style Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood. She began working directly for Brooks in 2017, a few years before the reported assault.
Brooks, who is 62 years old, has denied the allegations and attempted to block the lawsuit through a legal filing under the name 'John Doe.'
The lawsuit has brought attention to the issue of sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry and highlights the importance of addressing such claims seriously and promptly.
As the case unfolds, it will be crucial to consider the perspectives of both parties involved and allow for a fair and thorough investigation to determine the truth of the matter.
