What’s Really Going On With Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood Amid Scandal?


As sexual assault allegations against Garth Brooks send shock waves through the country music scene, insiders reveal how he and wife Trisha Yearwood are coping

During a live-stream with fans on October 7, country singer Garth Brooks addressed the lawsuit filed against him by a former hair and makeup stylist alleging sexual assault, calling the subject “the elephant in the room” and saying the situation would be playing out in court for the foreseeable future. He says he’s the “victim of a shakedown” and is requesting a trial by jury “to obtain relief from ongoing attempted extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress through outrageous conduct.” “They are a very tight-knit family, so this has been devastating to them.” On September 11, three days before Brooks filed his initial lawsuit against Jane Roe, Yearwood sold her Nashville home for more than a million dollars under its asking price — a move that sparked speculation she was anticipating the legal drama to come, but an insider clarifies it was not related.
