Garth Brooks filed new court documents on Friday (November 1) seeking to take his complaint against “Jane Roe,” the woman accusing him of sexual assault and battery, to a federal court. The 62-year-old country star claims that since the damages Roe is seeking in her lawsuit against him exceeds $75K, it now falls within federal court regulations. Brooks’ complaint claims that he is a “victim of a shakedown,” and that Roe “devised a malicious scheme to blackmail” him into paying her “millions of dollars.” This occurred after Brooks “rejected her request for salaried employment and medical benefits.” In an earlier complaint, Brooks publicly named “Jane Roe,” a former hairstylist and makeup artist for him and his wife, Trisha Yearwood. Roe’s attorneys responded with a statement claiming, “Garth Brooks just revealed his true self. With no legal justification, Brooks outed her because he thinks the laws don’t apply to him. On behalf of our client, we will be moving for maximum sanctions against him immediately.” (People)
