Garth Brooks raped me and sent me dirty text messages

One of country's biggest stars was hit with horrific rape and sexual assault allegations on Thursday.

Trisha Yearwood, a longtime hair and makeup artist for Garth Brooks and his wife, claimed in a lawsuit that the musician raped her so brutally in a Los Angeles hotel room that it felt like he was “crushing her.” two parts break”.

The musician was also accused of forcing the woman to touch his erect penis, groping her, forcing his sexual fantasies on her and sending her “explicit” text messages in various incidents.

The woman was identified only as “Jane Roe” in the lawsuit, filed in California state court and obtained by the Daily Beast. A representative for Brooks did not respond to a request for comment and the musician did not comment publicly on the allegations.

The most graphic allegations came in 2019 when Brooks, 62, allegedly emerged from the shower naked and “grabbed” Roe's hands and “forced” them onto his genitals while making explicit comments. The lawsuit alleged that Brooks then pressured Roe to give him oral sex while putting on her glasses, but she refused.

Things allegedly escalated later that year when Roe traveled to Los Angeles for a Grammy tribute with Brooks. Roe claims she and Brooks were the only passengers on a private flight across the country, and upon arrival she learned that Brooks had only booked a single suite for them to share.

Roe claims that Brooks suddenly “appeared completely naked in the bedroom doorway” in that suite.

“He stood there and flexed his muscles,” the lawsuit says. “MS. Roe immediately had a sick feeling in her stomach knowing that she was trapped in the room alone with Brooks, with no one to help her, and far from Nashville.”

A few moments later, Roe alleged, Brooks took her to the room's bed and began raping her. The statement of claim detailed some aspects of the alleged attack, but added that “Brooks engaged in other acts too graphic to recount.”

After the alleged attack ended, the lawsuit said it was back to “business as usual.” Roe said she did Brooks' hair and makeup for the event and they left.

The lawsuit alleges that after the alleged rape, Roe continued to be harassed, with Brooks sharing his sexual fantasies with her – which allegedly included a threesome with Yearwood – and repeatedly grabbing her breasts and making sexual comments while she worked.

Included in the lawsuit were numerous alleged text messages between Roe and Brooks, in which the musician's accuser directly wrote at one point: “Honestly, I'm a little afraid of you… I really am.”

Brooks' accuser said she began working for Yearwood, herself a star musician, in 1999. Yearwood, 60, married Brooks in 2005 and the makeup artist began working for both parties.

While Brooks has not publicly addressed the allegations, Roe's lawsuit states that the musician filed a pre-emptive lawsuit against her last month in Mississippi, where she lives. In that motion, Brooks claimed that his accuser was trying to extort him out of millions and that her “allegations were not true.”

Brooks' accuser is represented by Douglas Wigdor, a well-known attorney who has represented numerous #MeToo victims.
