Garth Brooks DENIED request to dismiss sexual assault lawsuit in shock blow for the country icon

Garth Brooks’ request to dismiss his sexual assault lawsuit has been denied, according to Fox News.

The country star, 62, filed the motion last month in the central district of California, which was ‘denied with prejudice’ by US District Judge Michael Fitzgerald, the outlet revealed.

The reason was due to the ‘original action’ was still pending in the state of Mississippi and the judge order the California case to be ‘stayed’ in the meantime.

The Grammy winner then requested the case in California be moved to Mississippi. 

A former makeup artist who worked for his wife Trisha Yearwood accused him of sexual assault and battery in court documents filed in a California state court. 

Before the makeup artist filed her lawsuit, Brooks was aware of her allegations and anonymously filed to fight back, using the name ‘John Doe’ in a lawsuit he filed in Mississippi in September, as reported by CNN.

‘Jane Roe’ was originally hired to do hair and makeup for Yearwood in 1999, and Brooks eventually enlisted her to do so for him in 2017, she claims. 

The plaintiff, who filed anonymously as ‘Jane Roe’ in October, alleges the country icon brought her with him to Los Angeles for a Grammy event honoring the R&B singer Sam Moore in May 2019.  

 In the suit, the plaintiff claims the Friends in Low Places singer booked only one hotel suite there for both of them, and when she asked for a separate accommodation, he would not provide one. 

 She also accused him of then accosting her in the doorway nude, hauling her into another room, dangling her upside down by the ankles and raping her, in court documents obtained by Dailymail.com.

In her lawsuit, the makeup artist alleged that Brooks would send her sexually explicit text messages, tell her about his sexual fantasies – including remarking about engaging in threesomes with his wife Trisha Yearwood – and discuss sex with her. 

She also accused him of exposing his buttocks and genitals to her on more than one occasion and repeatedly changing clothes in front of her. 

According to the makeup artist’s suit, Brooks allegedly made advances to her at his home in 2019, before the Los Angeles trip when she says the rape occurred. 

She claims she was at Brooks’ house, waiting for him to meet her so that she could apply his makeup, when he emerged naked and erect from the shower.

She alleges that he then ‘grabbed her hands and forced them’ onto his erection, telling her he harbored fantasies that she would perform fellatio on him while wearing her glasses until he would eventually climax onto her face. 

Hours later, the artist denied the rape accusations against him, calling it a ‘hush money’ shakedown.
