Jimmie Allen Tearfully Reveals He Contemplated Suicide After Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The country singer considered supporting his family with his life insurance policy in the wake of his scandal.

In May 2023, Allen's day-to-day manager, who was identified only as Jane Doe in her lawsuit, alleged that the singer raped her and repeatedly subjected her to sexual abuse and harassment over the course of 18 months. At the time, in a statement to ET provided by his attorney, Allen admitted to having had a "sexual relationship" with the woman suing him, but claimed it was consensual for nearly two years. The lawsuit -- which Jane Doe has since dropped-- came amid Allen's separation and eventual divorce filing from Alexis Gale, who was pregnant with their third child at the time.
