Last week, a lawsuit was filed against Brooks, accusing her of exposing her genitals and sending sexually explicit messages to her makeup artist throughout 2019.
Prior to the woman’s complaint, Brooks filed a preemptive complaint last month identifying himself as “John Doe.”
In Brooks’ filing obtained by Extra, he describes the woman as a “liar and extortionist intent on destroying his professional reputation.”
Brooks denied the allegations, claiming:[Roe’s] The suspicion is not true. [Roe] However, it is important to note that such false allegations would cause significant and irreparable damage to Plaintiff’s reputation as a decent and caring person, and the resulting unavoidable damage to his family. He is well aware of the damage and the irreparable damage to his career and livelihood. If she followed through on her threat to “publicly file” a trumped-up lawsuit. In fact, such knowledge definitely explains why [Roe] Rather than simply sue to recover her alleged (but untrue) injuries, she threatened to sue through a “confidential” demand letter. ”
According to Brooks’ complaint, the two worked together for 15 years, but after Brooks refused her request for “salary employment and medical benefits,” Brooks made “false and illegal claims of sexual misconduct.” He is said to have made “unusual allegations.”
The woman later released the alleged text messages in a court filing, claiming that Brooks “pressured her to engage in sexting with him.”
Her lawyers argued that Mr Garth was “encouraged”. [her] You’re talking to him in a sexual way. ”
Garth has just filed a countersuit against the woman named in court documents obtained by Extra.
According to the newspaper, Brooks’ lawyers filed the papers “in an effort to obtain relief” from the woman’s “ongoing attempted extortion, defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress due to outrageous conduct.” That’s what it means.
Garth is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the woman’s “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false invasion of privacy.”
Her attorneys, Douglas H. Wigdor, Jeanne M. Christensen and Haley Baker, criticized Brooks for naming the woman. In a statement to Us Weekly, they said, “Garth Brooks has now revealed his true self. Out of malice and punishment, he published the name of his rape victim. Without any legal justification, Brooks… fired her because he believed the law did not apply to him. We will immediately impose the maximum sanctions against him on behalf of our client.”
