Things just got weird in the land of country music—and no, this isn’t about a honky-tonk heartbreak. We’re talking about Garth Brooks being hit with a lawsuit that could turn “Friends in Low Places” into “Friends in No Places.”
So, here’s the scoop: on Thursday (October 3), a woman—who we’ll call “Jane Roe” because, you know, mysterious legal stuff—dropped a legal bombshell in California. The lawsuit? She’s accusing ol’ Garth of not-so-family-friendly behavior, and things go from “awkward text” to “WHAT THE…?” real fast.
Let’s rewind. Jane Roe claims that this all started in 2017 when she began working as Garth’s hair and makeup artist. The job sounds glamorous, but apparently, there was a little more exposure than she signed up for. The suit alleges Garth wasn’t shy about showing off ahem all of his assets, often engaging in “Hey, let’s talk about sex, baby” convos—in person AND via text message. I guess he wasn’t just asking for a hair touch-up.
Now, the juicy part. Allegedly, after a steamy shower (Garth, not her), he pulled a Houdini with her hands, making them magically land on his, um, personal microphone? That’s not the kind of duet anyone asked for. And apparently, things didn’t stop there. During a flight for a Grammys tribute performance in May 2019, things got even more uncomfortable. Not only did Garth book a hotel room with just one bed (because, sure, everyone LOVES sharing beds with their boss), but he also strutted around naked like it was his own personal episode of “Naked and Afraid”—minus the survival skills.
But wait, there’s more! Garth allegedly liked to chit-chat about some, er, “extracurricular activities,” including suggestions that he, his wife Trisha Yearwood, and Jane Roe form a trio—but not the musical kind. Let’s just say, Trisha wasn’t available for comment, probably because she was somewhere with better things to do.
This whole mess hit the fan after an anonymous male celebrity (hmm, wonder who that could be?) tried to slam the brakes on an upcoming lawsuit. Garth’s strategy? Deny, deny, and lawyer up. He claimed Jane Roe’s allegations are a crock of baloney, sparked after he (gasp) refused to make her a full-time employee with health benefits. That’s right, the real crime here might just be healthcare!
Garth’s lawsuit even goes full dramatic country ballad, saying this false accusation could wreck his squeaky-clean, cowboy-hat-wearing image and shatter his family’s reputation faster than a broken guitar string. Meanwhile, Jane Roe’s lawyers are out here like, “Oh, he’s gonna pay, alright.” They claim Brooks is trying to silence her like a skipped record at the county fair, but she’s not backing down. “This isn’t just Hollywood,” they said. “Even country music has its creeps.”
So, will this end with Garth taking a sad solo walk in the rain, or will he prove this whole thing is just one big misunderstanding? Stay tuned, because this soap opera’s just getting started, and it’s way messier than a plate of barbecue ribs.
