Brooks said the situation “was like a loaded gun was pointed in my face.”
The sale occurred just hours before the singer was accused of raping his and his wife’s makeup artist, who he claimed assaulted her in May 2019 during a business trip. The lawsuit was filed Thursday.
He also stated that he “filed a lawsuit against this person almost a month ago to report extortion and defamation.”
“We submitted it anonymously for the sake of the families of both parties,” he said.
The plaintiff alleges that the country icon brought her with him to Los Angeles for a Grammy event honoring R&B singer Sam Moore in May 2019.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff claims that the Friends in Low Places singer booked only one hotel suite for them both, and when she requested separate accommodations, he did not provide it.
She accuses him of then stalking her naked at the door, dragging her to another room, hanging her upside down by her ankles and raping her, in court documents obtained by Dailymail.com.
In her new lawsuit, the makeup artist alleges that Brooks sent her sexually explicit text messages, told her about his sexual fantasies and talked about sex with her.
She also accuses him of exposing his buttocks and genitals to her on more than one occasion and of repeatedly changing his clothes in front of her.
According to the makeup artist’s lawsuit, Brooks allegedly made advances to her 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 ‘grabbed her hands and forced’ them to have an erection, telling her that he harbored fantasies that she would perform fellatio on him while wearing his glasses until he finally climaxed on her face.
The makeup artist accuses Brooks of raping her that same year when they traveled to Los Angeles for her appearance at the Sam Moore tribute.
