Oct. 3, a former employee whom Garth Brooks claims requested assistance and turned on him once the country star was unable to provide further financial aid filed a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse and rape.

A woman who says she worked as a hair-and-makeup artist for Garth Brooks alleges in a lawsuit that the country music star raped and sexually assaulted her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019.

The woman is represented by the same lawyer for Cassie Ventura's allegations against Diddy. Brooks has denied the claims.
