(KTLA) — Garth Brooks, the country music superstar who gained fame in the 1990s with several hit songs, has been named in a lawsuit accusing him of raping a hair and makeup artist in 2019.
The lawsuit, according to CNN, mentions two specific incidents in which Brooks allegedly committed sexual assault and battery against the woman — one in a Los Angeles hotel room in May 2019 and another at his home the same year, when he allegedly “grabbed her hands and forced them” on his crotch.
The pair traveled to Los Angeles on a private jet, the suit states, where Brooks allegedly raped the unnamed woman, called “Jane Roe” in the suit.
“Usually there were others on Brooks’ private jet but this time, Ms. Roe and Brooks were the only two passengers,” the complaint states. “Once in Los Angeles at the hotel, Ms. Roe could not believe that Brooks had booked a hotel suite with one bedroom and she did not have a separate room.”
This is a developing story.
