The attorney for the woman suing Garth Brooks for assault slammed how the country musician responded to the court case
After Garth Brooks denounced the sexual assault allegations against him, the attorney representing his accuser has spoken out — invoking the name of another famous musician accused of sexual assault, Sean “Diddy” Combs, in a new statement.
“I cannot get into settlement discussions, but the suggestion made by Brooks that he was unwilling to pay millions is simply not true,” attorney Douglas H. Wigdor tells Us Weekly in a Friday, October 4, statement. “It seems as though Sean Combs and Garth Brooks are using the same public relations team by attacking legitimate victims.”
Wigdor adds, “We are very confident in our case and over time the public will see his true character rather than his highly curated persona.”
Wigdor and his legal associates filed a lawsuit on Thursday, October 3, on behalf of an anonymous client referred to as Jane Roe. In court documents obtained by Us, Roe claimed that she was raped by Brooks, 62, in 2019 after being hired as a hairstylist for the singer and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.
Brooks denied the allegations that same day, noting in a statement to Us, “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.
