Garth Brooks has been accused of raping and battering a woman who claims she worked as his hairstylist and makeup artist.
The woman — identified as “Jane Roe” — is suing the country star, 62, for sexual assault and battery, according to CNN.
Per the complaint, which was filed Thursday in California and obtained by the outlet, the alleged incidents occurred in 2019.

The filing accuses Brooks of repeatedly exposing his genitals to Roe; regularly changing his clothing in front of her; talking about sex and his sexual fantasies with her; and sending her sexually explicit text messages.
During one alleged incident in 2019, Roe claims she was at Brooks’ home for work when he walked out of the shower naked, “grabbed her hands and forced them” onto his genitals while saying vulgar things to her.
During another alleged incident in May of that same year, Roe claims Brooks raped her in a hotel room during a work trip to Los Angeles, where the musician was taping a Grammy tribute performance.

According to the suit, the pair traveled to LA on his private plane.
“Usually there were others on Brooks’ private jet, but this time, Ms. Roe and Brooks were the only two passengers,” the complaint states, claiming Brooks also “booked a hotel suite with one bedroom.”
Once inside the suite, Roe alleges the singer-songwriter “appeared in the doorway to the bedroom, completely naked,” which made her feel “trapped.”
After the alleged rape, Roe claims Brooks groped her and continued to tell her about his sexual desires, which allegedly included “repeated remarks” about “having a threesome” with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, whom he wed in 2005.
The complaint states that Roe began working for Brooks in 2017 but was first hired to do hair and makeup for Yearwood, 60, in 1999.
Brooks denied Roe’s allegations in a statement to Page Six Thursday.
“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. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face,” he said.
“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.
“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.
“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. I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be.”
