LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman who says she worked as a hair-and-makeup stylist for Garth Brooks alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday that he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019.

The woman does not use her name and goes by Jane Roe in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. Brooks forcefully denied the allegations in a statement and acknowledged he tried to get a court to stop Thursday’s lawsuit from being filed.

The woman says in the lawsuit she had worked for Brooks’ wife, country singer Trisha Yearwood, since 1999, and had started also working for Brooks in 2017.

if he wears the wig and jerks off whilst looking in the mirror, it is legally rape

Lol that was so lame. He'd just go emo and pretend he was someone else

I mean, after all the people he has personally murdered this isn't that big of a surprise.

I don't keep up with my country music memes - what's this one?

It's a running joke from Tom Segura's podcast "Your Mom's House". Garth Brooks is an "alleged" serial killer with a trail of missing people in his wake.

Found a compilation on YT for you if you're curious.
