A woman, identified as Jane Roe in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, has accused country music star Garth Brooks of raping her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019. The woman, who worked as a hair-and-makeup stylist for Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood, alleges that the assault took place during a trip from Nashville to Los Angeles for a Grammy Awards tribute performance.

According to the lawsuit, the woman claims that Brooks, who normally traveled with an entourage, was alone with her on his private jet and booked a single hotel suite for both of them. She alleges that Brooks appeared naked in the doorway of the bedroom and raped her, then proceeded as if nothing had happened and expected her to continue with her work immediately after.
