-A hairstylist and makeup artist who worked for Garth Brooks has filed a lawsuit against the country icon, accusing him of sexual assault and battery.
-In the complaint, Roe alleges Brooks, 62, raped her, exposed his genitals and buttocks, spoke openly about sex and related fantasies, changed clothes in her presence and sent sexually explicit text messages, with each incident taking place throughout 2019.
-"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," Brooks claimed in a statement to PEOPLE. "It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face."“Hush money, no matter how much or 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,".
-Following Brooks speaking out, Roe's attorney Douglas H. Wigdor said in a statement: "We are very confident in our case and over time the public will see his true character rather than his highly curated persona."
