Trisha Yearwood Breaks Silence With 3-Word Statement Following Garth Brooks Lawsuit Filing
The country music world was shaken Thursday (October 3) when a former employee of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood filed a lawsuit accusing Brooks of sexual misconduct.
In a lawsuit filed in California, the plaintiff, listed as “Jane Roe,” accused Garth Brooks of rape and sexual assault that allegedly took place in 2019.
In a statement shared with Country Rebel, Brooks responded to the lawsuit by saying that he had filed a lawsuit of his own anonymously against his accuser nearly a month prior. His filing was an attempt to protect the families involved and avoid defamation. He also added that he had been dealing with threats from his accuser for months in an effort to force Brooks to give her a multi-million dollar payout that he called “hush money.”
“It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face,” Brooks said of the threats.
Garth Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood, posted for the first time following the lawsuit being made public.
Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks wed in 2005, four years after Brooks’ divorce from his first wife, Sandy Mahl.
