Los Angeles — A woman who claims to have worked as a hair and beauty stylist for Garth Brooks claims he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019. The lawsuit was filed on Thursday.

In her complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the woman is named Jane Roe rather than her given name. Brooks vehemently rejected the charges in a statement, admitting he attempted to have a judge stop Thursday’s lawsuit from being filed.

The lady claims in the lawsuit that she has worked for Brooks’ wife, country artist Trisha Yearwood, since 1999 and began working for Brooks in 2017.

She said she was assaulted while traveling from Nashville to Los Angeles with Brooks, who was singing alongside soul singer Sam Moore at a Grammy Awards tribute in October 2019.

Brooks generally travels with an entourage, but the two were alone on his private jet, and he only rented one hotel suite for both of them, according to the lawsuit.

The woman claims that while in the suite, he appeared nude in the bedroom doorway and assaulted her.

According to the lawsuit, he then proceeded as if nothing had happened, expecting her to do his hair and cosmetics right away.

The woman’s lawsuit claims that earlier in 2019, while she was at Brooks’ house, he emerged naked in front of her, seized her hands, and placed them on his genitals.

Brooks filed a preemptive action in federal court in Mississippi last month, and both he and the woman remain unknown.

In court records in that lawsuit, the plaintiff, known as John Doe, claims the charges are “wholly untrue,” and that he only learned of them in July when she threatened to publicly sue him unless he paid her millions of dollars.

He sought a judge to prevent the woman from causing “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.”

“For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars,” according to Brooks’ statement. “It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face.”

Garth explained that he filed the complaint anonymously “for the sake of families on both sides.”

“I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be,” he said.

The woman’s suit also claims Brooks exposed himself to her numerous times, discussed sexual aspirations with her, and sent her explicit text messages.

She claimed she was obliged to continue working for Brooks due to financial difficulties, which he knew about and took advantage of.

An email to the woman’s attorney inquiring if she had submitted her charges to police was not immediately returned.

The 62-year-old Oklahoma native Brooks was the biggest performer in country music in the 1990s, with classics like “Friends in Low Places” and “The Thunder Rolls.” His concerts featured arena-rock pyrotechnics, while his records reflected a pop-music sensibility. He achieved enormous success that extended beyond normal country listeners.

He married fellow country singer Yearwood in 2005. A message addressed to a Yearwood representative requesting comment on the case received no immediate response.

With his latest album, Eminem killed off his alter ego Slim Shady, but he’s replaced him with a new nickname: Grandpa.

The rapper announced his daughter Hailie Jade’s pregnancy in a heartfelt music video that respects their bond. Home movies dating back to 1999, images of the father-daughter combination, and videos from her May wedding are highlighted by the sad song “Temporary” in the video released on Thursday.

In one clip from a recent home video, Em’s daughter offers him a jersey with the name “Grandpa” and the number 1 on the back. She also provides him with ultrasound photographs, and he looks surprised.

The social media star revealed her pregnancy with an Instagram post just hours after the video was aired on Thursday. “Mom & dad estimated 2025,” she captioned the photo.

Representatives for Em, 51, did not immediately respond to demands for comment.

“Temporary,” from Em’s most recent album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” is written as a soothing message to his daughter following his death. “I’m watchin’ you right now, baby girl, I vow/I will protect you, your guardian angel,” he says in the song, which came out in July.

The “Lose Yourself” singer has always had a sweet place for his daughter, constantly addressing her in his songs and even writing whole tributes to her such as “Hailie’s Song” and “Mockingbird.”

In “Mockingbird,” a fan favorite, Eminem sings, “What does Daddy always tell you?” Straighten up, little soldier,” a song he returns to in “Temporary.”

Eminem has only one biological daughter, Jade, whom he had with his ex-wife Kim Scott. He also adopted Scott’s two daughters from previous relationships.

NEW YORK — Oasis startled fans this month when they announced a reunion tour, ending a 15-year break and, presumably, the long-running feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. But those were exclusively UK dates. On Monday, the band announced that they will also tour North America in 2025.

“America. Oasis is coming. “You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along,” the Britpop band known for timeless singles like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” wrote in a statement.

There are five more stadium dates for next summer, including Toronto, Chicago, outside of York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. The opening act will be Cage the Elephant, an American rock band.

Oasis Adds US, Canada And Mexico Stops To 2025 Tour

Last month, fans attempting to get tickets to Oasis’ U.K. shows were disappointed by error warnings, hours-long online lineups, and dynamic pricing, which caused prices to quickly climb and fall in response to demand. A spokeswoman for Oasis management stated on Monday that “Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.” This could be a solution to at least one of the difficulties.

“When unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans,” according to the statement. “We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently.”

After years of infighting, Oasis disbanded in 2009, with Noel Gallagher officially leaving moments before a performance at a festival near Paris. Even before the breakup, the brothers had an acrimonious relationship, and they reportedly did not talk for years afterward. While the Gallagher brothers have not performed together since they frequently perform Oasis songs at their solo shows.

Tickets for North America will go on sale at 12 p.m. local time on Friday. Registration for the presale is accessible until Tuesday at 8 a.m. Eastern.
