“Jane Roe” filed a lawsuit Thursday in California, accusing country music legend Garth Brooks of rape, sexual assault and battery. Roe claimed to have worked for Brooks as a hair and makeup stylist when the alleged incidents took place in 2019, according to CNN. She claimed there were numerous instances of sexual assault during the course of her employment.
Roe claimed during one instance, Brooks allegedly raped her while on a work trip to Los Angeles where Brooks was taping a Grammy tribute performance, according to CNN .

“Usually there were others on Brooks’ private jet but this time, Ms. Roe and Brooks were the only two passengers,” the complaint states, according to CNN. “Once in Los Angeles at the hotel, Ms.
Roe could not believe that Brooks had booked a hotel suite with one bedroom and she did not have a separate room.” Roe said Brooks “appeared in the doorway to the bedroom, completely naked” and said she felt “trapped in the room alone with Brooks.” LOS ANGELES, CA – FEBRUARY 08: Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks perform onstage during MusiCares Person of the Year honoring Dolly Parton at Los Angeles Convention Center on February 8, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
