Country singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/garth-brooks">Garth Brooks</a> has been accused of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sexual-abuse">sexual assault</a> by a former hair and makeup artist who worked for his family.
The 27-page lawsuit was filed on Thursday on behalf of &#8220;Jane Roe,&#8221; who claims the incidents occurred over several years. Roe said one of the alleged incidents included Brooks forcing her to touch his erect penis while she was styling his hair.  The suit also includes details of Brooks allegedly raping her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019 while she was helping him get ready for a Grammy tribute, per <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/10/04/nx-s1-5139950/garth-brooks-sexual-assault-accusation-lawsuit">NPR</a>.
Roe accused Brooks of repeatedly exposing his genitals and buttocks to her, talking about sex, sharing sexual fantasies, and sending sexually explicit text messages, per <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/news/garth-brooks-accused-sexual-assault-battery-former-hair-makeup-artist-rcna173966">Today</a>. The country singer also stands <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/garth-brooks-breaks-silence-on-sexual-assault-battery-allegations/">accused of</a> “repeated remarks” about “having a threesome” with his wife, singer Tricia Yearwood.
The plaintiff said she had initially worked for Yearwood beginning in 1999 and started working for Brooks beginning in 2017.
Roe’s legal team noted that the “Friends in Low Places” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">singer</a> filed a preemptive lawsuit anonymously in September, saying he was being extorted for money from a former employee because he had refused to give her a raise or pay for health insurance.
Brooks has denied the allegations. A statement from his legal team said, &#8220;(Roe&#8217;s) false allegations and her threats to wrongfully assassinate (Brooks&#8217;) character through the public airing of such revulsive and untrue allegations have caused (Brooks) emotional distress including anxiety and fear for himself and his family.&#8221; 
It continues, &#8220;(Roe&#8217;s) attempted extortion of (Brooks) for millions of dollars through such untrue, lewd allegations constitutes intentional, outrageous conduct that was intended to and did in fact cause (Brooks) serious mental injury, amounting to an intentional infliction of emotional distress.&#8221;
&#8220;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 said in the statement. “ It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face. 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.&#8221;
&#8220;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, &#8221; he added.
&#8220;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,&#8221; the country singer&#8217;s statement concludes. &#8220;I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be.&#8221;

Roe announced her intention to move forward with a jury trial. She is seeking monetary and punitive damages plus attorney’s fees.
&#8220;We applaud our client’s courage in moving forward with her complaint against Garth Brooks,&#8221; Roe&#8217;s legal team wrote in a statement. &#8220;The complaint filed today demonstrates that sexual predators exist not only in corporate America, Hollywood and in the rap and rock and roll industries but also in the world of country music.&#8221;
&#8220;We are confident that Brooks will be held accountable for his actions and his 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,&#8221; the statement says. &#8220;We encourage others who may have been victimized to contact us as no survivor should suffer in silence.&#8221;
Brooks performed in Las Vegas on Thursday night just after the news broke. He addressed the drama with an Instagram post, writing in the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAsLedVx1sN/?hl=en">caption</a>, &#8220;If there was ever a night that I really needed this, TONIGHT was that night! Thank you for my life!!!!!&#8221;

&#8220;Did you guys see Travis Kelce&#8217;s version of &#8216;Friends in Low Places?'&#8221; Garth said on the show. &#8220;Did you see him sing this? I loved it, I thought it was fantastic.&#8221;
&#8220;It blew me away because I&#8217;m sitting there watching it as it&#8217;s going down, right?&#8221; he added. &#8220;I never expected that.&#8221;
&#8220;Big man, I&#8217;m just telling you this. I will be at [the] grand opening if you&#8217;re there,&#8221; Brooks continued. &#8220;I&#8217;ll send a plane if you want and come and get another shot at the title. If you want to come sing that, I&#8217;ll send a plane.&#8221;
The &#8220;Thunder Rolls&#8221; hitmaker said Kelce could come alone, or bring his teammates, or even his brother Jason Kelce, noting that the plane holds 11 people.
&#8220;So, yes, I&#8217;ll be happy to send this invite out to you if you want to try a little &#8216;Friends in Low Places&#8217; in Friends in Low Places,&#8221; Brooks said. 
The invite comes after Kelce, who had been noticeably celebrating the team&#8217;s Super Bowl victory, took the mic at the rally and asked fans if they knew the song to join in and sing along.

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider told country music star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/garth-brooks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garth Brooks</a> this week that he should &#8220;just shut up&#8221; after finding himself embroiled in controversy after indicating that he will offer Bud Light at his bar when it opens later this summer.
During Brooks’ recent appearance on Billboard’s Country Live in Conversation, he appeared to take a shot at other country music artists who own bars, but are refusing to sell Bud Light over its decision earlier this year to have a paid marketing engagement with a controversial transgender influencer.
“Yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer,” the singer said. “We just are. It’s not our decision to make. If you come into this house, love one another. If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”
“In my existence, one a**hole can turn the whole tide down there,” he added. “My thing is, let’s create a place that you feel safe in.”
Brooks later doubled down on his remarks, saying that inclusivity and diversity are what describes him.
“I get it, everyone’s got their opinions,” Brooks said. “But inclusiveness is always going to be me. I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here. And the answer to the problems that are coming.”
Schneider <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/rob-schneider-weighs-in-garth-brooks-bud-light-drama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox Nation&#8217;s &#8220;Woke Up in America&#8221; that he thinks Brooks needs to be quiet and stay out of the drama in the future.
&#8220;I think next time, he&#8217;s going to stay out of it, isn’t he? I think Garth Brooks, next time, is going to shut his mouth, and he&#8217;s going to pretend like &#8216;I don&#8217;t have anything to do with what beer is chosen in my restaurant,’” Schneider said. &#8220;I think the culture is in a very weird little place of hypersensitivity one way or the other. And I think that&#8217;s why most people shut their mouths.&#8221;

Schneider said that it is a good business practice for famous people like Brooks not to get too involved with business operations so that they don&#8217;t have to take heat if a situation blows up like this.
&#8220;I mean, just from a business standpoint, just shut up, say I have nothing to do with it,&#8221; he said.

The legendary country singer said he wanted to discuss two things that described him, &#8220;diversity and inclusiveness.&#8221;
&#8220;I get it, everyone&#8217;s got their opinions,&#8221; Brooks said. &#8220;But inclusiveness is always going to be me. I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here. And the answer to the problems that are coming.&#8221;

&#8220;So, all are welcome,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Second thing though, let&#8217;s talk about being a bar owner. I am a bar owner now. Are we going to have the most popular beers in the thing? The answer is yes. It&#8217;s not our call if we don&#8217;t or not. It&#8217;s the patron&#8217;s call. The bosses. If they don&#8217;t want it, then I gotta go to the distributor saying, &#8216;You&#8217;re stuff&#8217;s not selling.&#8217; And then action gets taken.&#8221;
&#8220;But the truth is, it&#8217;s those people in those seats that make those decisions,&#8221; Brooks continued. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what &#8216;Friends in Low Places&#8217; is going to be. So, here&#8217;s the deal man, you want to come into &#8216;Friends in Low Places,&#8217; come in — but come in with love. Come in with tolerance, patience, forgiveness. Come in with an open mind.&#8221;
The &#8220;Thunder Rolls&#8221; hitmaker closed out the video by stating that if you are &#8220;one of those people&#8221; that &#8220;just can&#8217;t do that,&#8221; no problem.

Garth Brooks Doubles Down On Selling Bud Light At Bar, Talks ‘Diversity And Inclusiveness’

Nashville

Country music star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-rich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Rich</a> recently addressed the news that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/garth-brooks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garth Brooks</a> plans to continue selling <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bud-light" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bud Light</a> at his Nashville bar, plus talked about “woke” culture more broadly.
Rich spoke with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-rich-slams-woke-culture-says-people-dont-want-face-like-bullhorn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a> ahead of his CMA Fest performance, reacting to recent news that fellow country star and Nashville bar owner Garth Brooks saying he would still <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/garth-brooks-weighs-in-on-serving-bud-light-at-his-bar-there-are-plenty-of-other-places">sell Bud Light</a> in his establishment despite the backlash and ongoing boycotts over the brand&#8217;s partnership with trans-identified influencer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dylan-mulvaney">Dylan Mulvaney</a>. Brooks said if people don’t like that, “there are plenty of other places” they can go.
&#8220;Garth Brooks has always been the guy that said, ‘everybody come to my show,’&#8221; Rich said. &#8220;It&#8217;s something that we love about Garth. You know, he makes his music for everybody. And that really is what music is about. You&#8217;re making your music for everybody. Beer&#8217;s for everybody, too.&#8221;
&#8220;If Garth is serving Bud Light in his bar, that&#8217;s fine. Garth can do that. Garth might find out not many people are going to order it,&#8221; the singer said. &#8220;And at the end of the day, you have to put things in your establishment that people are going to purchase if you&#8217;re going to run a successful business. So, he might find that out.&#8221;
Rich said his customers didn’t want to order Bud Light anymore after the brand chose to partner with Mulvaney.
&#8220;I think people finally had enough of woke culture being right in their face like a bullhorn every time they turn around,&#8221; the “Save a Horse” singer said. &#8220;You know, at the end of a hard-working day, you want to have a cold beer. That&#8217;s like your reward for working hard all day. The last thing any man or woman wants is to have culture slammed right up in their face. They just don&#8217;t want that.&#8221; 
&#8220;So they rejected it, rejected it wholeheartedly, and we moved on to other beers,&#8221; Rich said.
The owner of the live music venue Redneck Riviera Bar &amp; BBQ said he never made a conscious decision to boycott Bud Light, but rather let the customers decide what alcohol should be stocked in the bar. Rich noted that they sold “zero Bud Lights” in the wake of the controversy.
&#8220;I think the majority of people, whether they&#8217;re left, right or otherwise, they care about their families,&#8221; Rich told Fox News. &#8220;I think they respect our military. I think they love and value and cherish their freedom.&#8221;

He added that Bud Light drinkers were always a varied bunch who often disagreed politically but all chose the same brand of beer. The country star said the brand partnering with Mulvaney changed that. 
&#8220;They made it a political social issue on what beer you drink, and I think that&#8217;s a sad statement on our country right now. But, hey, it&#8217;s their money. It&#8217;s their brand. They can market it however they want to, but Americans have responded in a very strong way,” Rich said.

Country star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dolly-parton-confirms-rumors-about-item-shes-placed-under-dollywood-that-wont-be-unveiled-until-shes-99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dolly Parton</a> definitely got everyone&#8217;s attention while hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday when she made a joke about having a threesome with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/garth-brooks-shares-a-funny-anecdote-about-wife-trisha-yearwood-at-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony-for-keith-whitley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garth Brooks</a> and his wife Trisha Yearwood.
During the opening monologue of the 2023 ACM Awards show, the 77-year-old country singer told Brooks, her cohost, that she thought the term &#8220;GOAT&#8221; (Greatest of all time) meant something much more risqué, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/acms-host-dolly-partons-threesome-joke-makes-garth-brooks-blush" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.
It started after Brooks referred to Parton as the &#8220;GOAT&#8221; in country music, and she responded, &#8220;Did I hear you say you were looking for a goat? I&#8217;ve got your goat right here.&#8221;
The &#8220;9 to 5&#8221; hitmaker then wheeled a goat in a cart out on stage and made several odd jokes directed at Brooks, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/05/11/dolly-parton-garth-brooks-threesome-joke-bring-goat-onstage-acm-awards/70210040007/?taid=645dabbdc5b18200012447f7&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">USA Today</a> noted.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, that was such a ba-a-a-a-a-d joke,&#8221; Parton said. &#8220;This is Garth&#8217;s very first time ever hosting an award show. You know what they say, you never forget your first time.&#8221;
The &#8220;Jolene&#8221; hitmaker then revealed that she learned she was the 61-year-old country singer&#8217;s &#8220;hall pass&#8221; — a term that means a married couple has that one famous person who their spouse has given consent for the other to have an affair with.
&#8220;I&#8217;m Trisha&#8217;s hall pass too,&#8221; Dolly added, with Brooks confirming that was &#8220;true.&#8221;

&#8220;I just had a thought,&#8221; Parton continued. &#8220;I know why you&#8217;re doing the goat thing. I think it stands for &#8216;Garth organized a threesome.'&#8221;

The &#8220;Thunder Rolls&#8221; hitmaker blushed a bit before he replied, &#8220;I thought I couldn&#8217;t love you any more.&#8221;
Brooks and Yearwood tied the knot in 2005, years after their previous marriages ended in divorce. Parton has been married to Tennessee businessman Carl Thomas Dean for more than 50 years.
Speaking recently about how the couple has made their marriage work for 56 years, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dolly-parton-shares-secret-to-her-56-year-marriage-it-was-meant-to-be" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parton</a> said that her husband&#8217;s &#8220;not in the business, so we have different interests, but yet we have the things we love to do together.&#8221;
&#8220;So it was meant to be, I think,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He was the one I was supposed to have and vice versa.&#8221;
