Garth Brooks has been accused of raping a makeup artist who worked for his wife Trisha Yearwood, in a new lawsuit.
The plaintiff was originally hired to do Yearwood’s hair and makeup, and Brooks eventually recruited her to do it for him, he claims.
She alleges that he brought her with him to Los Angeles for his Sam Moore tribute performance at the Grammy Awards in May 2019.
According to the lawsuit, he booked only one hotel room there for both of them, and when she asked for separate accommodations, he did not provide it.
She accuses him of accosting her naked at the door, dragging her to another room, hanging her upside down by her ankles, and raping her.
DailyMail.com has contacted a representative for Brooks for comment.
Garth Brooks has been sued by a makeup artist who worked for his wife of nearly two decades, Trisha Yearwood.
According to her lawsuit, Brooks first made advances to the makeup artist at her home in 2019, before the trip to Los Angeles, when she says the rape occurred.
She claims she was at Brooks’ house, waiting for him to find her so she could put on her makeup, when he emerged naked and erect from the shower.
She alleges that he then placed her hands on his erection and told her that he harbored fantasies that she would perform fellatio on him while wearing his glasses until she finally climaxed on his face.
The makeup artist accuses Brooks of raping her that same year when they traveled to Los Angeles in May for her appearance at the Grammys.
In her lawsuit, the plaintiff claims that she and Brooks did not usually travel alone together, but the trip to Los Angeles was an exception.
She only discovered that she and Brooks would not be accompanied by anyone else when she boarded her private jet in Nashville to head to California, she claims.
In her court filing, the makeup artist claims that when she arrived in Los Angeles, she learned she would have to share a hotel room with Brooks.
She allegedly raised objections to the arrangement and asked for a room of her own, but claims Brooks didn’t budge on the issue.
In the hotel room, she says, he suddenly appeared naked at the door and then took her to a separate room, to a bed.
The plaintiff, who is said to be about five feet tall, says he grabbed her by the ankles and held her face down while he vaginally raped her.
In her court papers, the makeup artist accuses Brooks of thrusting into her so violently that she felt like he was going to split in half.
She continued to do his hair and makeup throughout the trip because her financial situation was such that she needed the job, she says.
The makeup artist added that Brooks was aware that her income was necessary for her and used her circumstances to her advantage.
She accuses Brooks of groping her breasts while she was doing her makeup, as well as masturbating once he finished his work.
