Brooks claimed Roe's attorney sent him a “confidential” warning letter alleging sexual misconduct after he denied her request for “employment and medical benefits,” CNN reported.

“Defendant's allegations are untrue,” Brooks' earlier lawsuit states.

“The defendant, however, recognizes the significant, irreparable harm that such false allegations would cause to the plaintiff’s well-deserved reputation as a decent and caring human being, along with the inevitable harm to his family and the irreparable harm to his career and livelihood.” This is what would happen if she followed through on her threat to “publicly file” her fabricated lawsuit.

Roe's lawyers told CNN that Brooks' preemptive complaint was an act of desperation to intimidate and silence Roe.
