The woman who claims that Garth Brooks forcibly raped her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019 says that the country superstar is using “underhanded vindictive tactics” in an effort to get her sexual assault case dismissed. In a new court filing on Friday (November 22) , plaintiff Jane Roe requested that a federal judge reject Brooks’ argument that her sexual assault lawsuit filed on October 3 in Los Angeles is “duplicative” of the defamation and extortion lawsuit he filed against Roe in Mississippi in September. Lawyers for Jane Roe insist that her case belongs in California, where the alleged sexual misconduct took place.

“Brooks’ bad faith, sham action was nothing but a forum-shopping maneuver,” the lawyers argue in the new court filing. “Brooks raced to the courthouse to file first in Mississippi — a forum he believed would be more sympathetic to him than California.” In Brooks’ preemptive lawsuit filed September 13 in Mississippi, he claimed he was the victim of an “ongoing attempted extortion.” (Rolling Stone)
