1
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.199
In the world of country music, there is no one

2
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:28.320
more iconic than Garth Brooks. With over one hundred and

3
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.960
seventy million records sold, he is the second largest selling

4
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:42.119
music artist of all time, just behind the Beatles. On

5
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.840
October third of twenty twenty four, a graphic lawsuit brought

6
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:54.119
by his wife's former stylist accused Brooks of sexual battery.

7
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:05.000
Then just hours later, a prior lawsuit filed under a

8
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:10.560
pseudonym Brooks used, surfaced when the music star made accusations

9
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:21.319
of his own. Welcome to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite.

10
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:37.359
The thunder has rolled. Hey everyone, and welcome back to

11
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.280
Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite. I am your host,

12
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.519
Jim Chapman, and just quickly, before we get into today's episode,

13
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.879
remember to rate us on whatever platform you listen to.

14
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.760
I can't tell you how much it helps. It pushes

15
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.519
us up that feed. And I'm going to jump into

16
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.599
today's episode. Now, there's some cases that I never want

17
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:09.159
to do, and this would qualify why because like probably

18
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.319
everybody else out there or anybody who is a fan

19
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.680
of country music, certainly Garth Brooks is pretty much the

20
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.560
pinnacle and has had I think one hundred and seventy

21
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.719
million plus album sales, which is phenomenal, puts him second

22
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.680
all time in the United States, behind the Beatles. So

23
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.840
it gives me no pleasure to tell you what I'm

24
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.879
about to tell you, and I'm gonna preface this with

25
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.520
it's important to keep in mind in this case, this

26
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.759
is not adjudicated. These are accusations. Three sides to every story,

27
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.800
one person side, the other person's side, and the truth

28
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.319
in the middle. So I'm just gonna give you the

29
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.680
straight facts on this. And before we get into it,

30
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.560
i'm gonna tell you this is one of the more

31
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.280
graphic lawsuits that I've read. So if you're listening to

32
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.039
this and you got kids in the car or something

33
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.439
like that, look, don't ever listen to my podcast with

34
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:06.120
kids in the car.

35
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.639
That would be my recommendation.

36
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.680
But if you're listening to this around sensitive ears, you know,

37
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:15.319
throw some headphones on and we'll get into it. A

38
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.560
lawsuit was filed. This was on September thirteenth of twenty

39
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.840
twenty four, and it raised a lot of eyebrows. It

40
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.039
was filed in the Southern District of Mississippi, and it

41
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.560
was filed under a John Doe, and it was versus

42
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.479
a Jane Row, And it says the planeiff files this

43
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.560
memorandum in support of his motion to file his complaint

44
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.560
under a pseudonym, to proceed in this action under a pseudonym,

45
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.520
and to file under seal. And then it gets into

46
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.680
the introduction and it says the defendant has threatened to

47
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.479
publicly file a lawsuit against plaintiff the John Doe here

48
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:01.280
alleging false claims of sexual misconduct that allegedly occurred years ago,

49
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:07.840
unless Plainoff pays her millions of dollars. Plainof a celebrity

50
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.599
in public figure, is therefore forced to file this lawsuit

51
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.120
to prevent the irreputable harm that such a public filed

52
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:22.160
lawsuit would have on his reputation, family, career, in livelihood. However,

53
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.639
filing under his name in the public docket would cause

54
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.600
the same irreputable harm to plant reputation and goodwill that

55
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.120
he seeks to avoid through this lawsuit. And let me

56
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.199
stop right there for a second, explain to you what's

57
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.439
going on here. There are laws called the public's right

58
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.079
to know, and when a lawsuit is filed, technically the

59
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.920
rules are you have to file it publicly you have

60
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.800
to put your name, And the reason for that is

61
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.519
they don't want a bunch of people filing frivolous lawsuits

62
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:58.839
under pseudonyms and there's really no damage to their reputation

63
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.600
because nobody knows who they are if it's just a

64
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.560
bunch of made up bullshit. And so the law is,

65
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.000
unless there's extenuating circumstances, you have to file under your

66
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.439
actual name, and the public has a right to know that.

67
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:15.120
That's the law.

68
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:20.959
Now, when it comes to sexual allegations, it's different because

69
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.720
they protect those people in many cases, as they should.

70
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.560
If you've been raped, you don't want your name out

71
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.759
there that you've been raped. In a lot of cases

72
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.759
not all. So in this case, when what was discovered

73
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:37.680
to be Garth Brooks, I'll go ahead and tell you

74
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.439
that filed this. He's given his reasonings for him not

75
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.240
to be publicly disclosed and to have this lawsuit sealed.

76
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.199
So I'll move on from there. The only way to

77
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.920
prevent the irreputable harm is to allow planeiff to file

78
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.600
his complaint under seal and proceed under that suitonym, and

79
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.000
to file any personally identifying exhibits under seal with reactions

80
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.120
sufficient to protect the party's identities. Then it gets into

81
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.600
the facts of the case from the planiff's perspective. Now

82
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.519
this is from Garthbrooks perspective, and it's important to keep

83
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.079
in mind the other lawsuit had not been filed yet.

84
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.759
He kind of beat that lawsuit to the punch because

85
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.120
this person was threatening to file a lawsuit at this time.

86
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.680
So it goes on. It says the plaintiff is a

87
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.600
well known celebrity and public figure who resides in Tennessee.

88
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.800
The defendant worked professionally with the plaintiff as an independent

89
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.560
contractor for approximately fifteen years before she relocated from Tennessee

90
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.160
to Mississippi in May of twenty twenty. Soon after moving

91
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.160
to Mississippi, the defendant began demanding financial assistance from the plaintiff.

92
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.279
The plaintiff acquissessed for some time, but when defendant demanded

93
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.519
salary and employment and medical benefits, plaintiff could no longer agree.

94
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.480
When the planiff refused to provide a diational financial assistance

95
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.519
to the defendant, she responded with false and outrageous allegations

96
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.199
of sexual misconduct against the plaintiff. She claims occurred years ago.

97
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.160
On July seventeenth of twenty twenty four, an attorney, acting

98
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.319
at the defendant's direction, sent the planiff and others who

99
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.839
work with the planiff a demand letter alleging a litany

100
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.439
of sexual misconduct by the plaintiff over the years, ranging

101
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:29.240
from allegations of sexual grooming, creation of a sexually hostile

102
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.800
work environment, on wanted sexual touching, and sexual assault. The

103
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.439
defendant also alleged a belief that the plantiff planned to

104
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:42.680
hire someone to murder her. Defendant's July seventeenth letter was

105
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.160
the first time the plaintiff learned of these allegations, none

106
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.600
of which is any basis of fact. The defendants July

107
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:55.279
seventeenth letter threatened to publicly draft a civil lawsuit against

108
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.160
the planiff, enclosed with a letter repeating the same fabricated

109
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.800
allegations from the demand letter unless the planiff agreed to

110
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.279
pay the defendant millions of dollars to not file suit.

111
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:11.519
The letter referred to various celebrity sexual misconduct lawsuits featuring

112
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.759
multimillion dollar jury awards. In a follow up letter dated

113
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.240
August twenty third of twenty twenty four, the defendant, through

114
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.279
her attorney, offered to refrain from publicly filing her false

115
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.879
and defamatory law suit against the plaintiff in exchange for

116
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.319
a multimillion dollar payment. She threatened that if the planiff

117
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.480
failed to meet this demand, he would face exposure of

118
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.759
many millions of dollars based on his net worth. Defendant's

119
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:44.159
allegations of sexual misconduct against the plantiff are wholly untrue. Nevertheless,

120
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.600
the public filing of these untrue allegations will substantially and

121
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.320
irreputably damage the planiff's good reputation, his business, his relationships

122
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.480
with family and friends. Even though the planiff is confident

123
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.360
the court will find the defendant's false allegis to be meritless,

124
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.200
the public disclosure of his name, defendant's name, and defendants

125
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.840
scandalous allegations alone would result in the irreputable loss of

126
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.720
the Planeff's good will and reputational harm in his industry.

127
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.679
No amount of money or damages could adequately reimburse the

128
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.519
planet for the loss of goodwill and reputational harm. So

129
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.679
that comes out, and you know, people are talking that

130
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.519
were privy to that lawsuit. Publicly, it was just filed

131
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.279
under a pseudonym, so nobody at that time knew it

132
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.960
was Garth Brooks, but it was out there that a

133
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:40.600
lawsuit from somebody famous had surfaced, a John Doe that

134
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.960
was from Tennessee, and there was a lot of talk

135
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.720
out there and chatter on who that might be. And

136
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:51.039
then October third, a Thursday evening, about ten o'clock at night,

137
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.759
I get a text from my wife who was in

138
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.759
the other room, and she had texted me a link

139
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.039
and it's dud Garth Brooks accused of rape in lawsuit

140
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:10.080
from hair and makeup artist. And I'm like what, And

141
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.519
of course, with what I do for a living, I

142
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:16.240
was all over it. And by Friday morning, I had

143
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.840
the lawsuit in my hands and I'm going to read

144
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.159
it to you, and again I'm going to say this

145
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:26.720
is descriptive, so get ready. And it says Jane Roe

146
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:33.960
versus Garth Brooks. Plaintiff Jane Rowe hereby submits her complaint

147
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.600
against defendant Garth Brooks and alleges as follows, and it

148
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:43.480
listed what's known as a preliminary statement. In nineteen ninety nine,

149
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.360
the plaintiff was hired to do the makeup and hairstyling

150
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:51.039
for the Grammy Award winning artist Trisha Yearwood miss Row

151
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.600
because she filed under Jane Rowe, a pseudonym, continue to

152
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.159
work for Miss Yearwood over the years, as well as

153
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.200
many other celebrities, and in twenty seven teen she started

154
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.840
to do makeup and hairstyling for Garth Brooks, miss Earwood's husband.

155
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.440
By twenty nineteen, after Brooks learned that Miss Rowe was

156
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.279
experiencing financial difficulties, he hired Miss Row more often. She

157
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.279
was grateful for the additional income and thanked him repeatedly.

158
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.279
It did not take long for Brooks to take advantage

159
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:25.320
of her financial hardship. Brooks seized what he saw as

160
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:29.399
an opportunity to subject a female employee to a side

161
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.360
of Brooks that he conceals from the public. This side

162
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.600
of Brooks believes he is entitled to sexual gratification when

163
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.399
he wants it, and uses a female employee.

164
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.720
To get it. It's fair game.

165
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.960
One day in twenty nineteen, when Miss Roy was at

166
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.000
brooks house to style his hair and do his makeup,

167
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.440
she looked up in horror as Brooks walked out of

168
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:57.840
the shower naked with an erection and pointing his penis

169
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.919
at Miss Row come directly towards her. He grabbed her

170
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:08.120
hands and forced them onto his erect penis. Brooks appallingly

171
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.320
told Miss roy that he had fantasized about this moment

172
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.720
and he wanted her to perform oral sex on him

173
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:19.639
so that he could quote come all over her face,

174
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:27.799
specifically while she had her glasses on unquote. Shocked and confused,

175
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.919
Miss Rowe pulled back and said she was not going

176
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.840
to do what he wanted, knowing that she needed the work. However,

177
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.960
Brooks correctly predicted that Miss Row did not leave. Then,

178
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.679
in May of twenty nineteen, Brooks asked her to travel

179
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.840
to Los Angeles with him for a Grammy tribute to

180
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.519
Sam More. Usually there were others on brooks private jet,

181
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.399
but this time Miss Row and Brooks were the only

182
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.519
two passengers. Once in Los Angeles, at the hotel, Miss

183
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.840
Rowe could not believe that Brooks had booked a hotel

184
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.879
suite with one bedroom and she did not have a

185
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:08.639
separate room. After they arrived, suddenly Brooks appeared in the

186
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.200
doorway to the bedroom, completely naked. He stood there and

187
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:17.559
flexed his muscles. Miss Rowe immediately had a sick feeling

188
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.320
in her stomach, knowing she was trapped in the room

189
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.639
alone with Brooks with no one to help her and

190
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:28.399
far away from Nashville. Tragically, her worst fears came true

191
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.159
when seconds later he was towering over her, his six

192
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.519
foot almost three hundred pound frame, ready to pounce on

193
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.039
Miss Row, who was less than five feet and one

194
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.279
hundred pounds. As she began a panic, he grabbed her

195
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.759
hands and pulled her into the next room, onto the bed,

196
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:51.480
where she could not escape his physical domination. Brooks rape

197
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:56.159
of Miss Row was painful and traumatic, having no regard

198
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.120
for her well being an intent on his own sexual

199
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.120
gratification at the expense of Miss Roe's physical, mental, and

200
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.159
emotional trauma. At some point during the nightmare, Brooks even

201
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.080
held her small body upside down by her feet and

202
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.919
penetrated her. She was helpless to move from his grip

203
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.720
and terrified at what was happening to her. While he

204
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.080
held her upside down, dangling by her ankles, all the

205
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.000
blood rushed to her head, causing her to be dizzy

206
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.720
and sick. While Brooks forcefully penetrated her, he said perverted

207
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.480
things to Miss Rowe about his sexual proudness. Brooks also

208
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:38.759
repeatedly slammed his penis into her vagina, causing Miss Rose

209
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.120
back to keep hitting his body over and over with

210
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.639
such force she felt as if he were breaking her

211
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:51.039
in two. Disgustingly, Brooks insisted that Miss Rowe wear her

212
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.440
glasses while he carried out his sexual assault fantasy with

213
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.360
cold disregard for Miss Row. When Brooks was finished, it

214
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.480
was busyusiness as usual. Miss Roe worked quickly to style

215
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:06.080
his hair and do his makeup for the event so

216
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.639
he was on time. Brooks subjected Miss Roe to other

217
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.440
appalling sexual conduct, all of which took place while Roe

218
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.799
was working for him. This includes, but is not limited to,

219
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:23.639
the following. Brooks openly talked about sexual subjects in front

220
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.960
of Miss Rowe, including, for example, canalingis. Brooks often changed

221
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.039
his clothes in front of Miss Rowe and often purposely

222
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.240
exposed his genitals and buttocks to Miss Roe, knowing she

223
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.559
will respond with a look of horror and disgust. Brooks

224
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.200
repeated the sexual fantasy when he came out of the

225
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.120
shower with an erection and forced her hands on his penis,

226
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.960
and forced her to listen to other sexual fantasies he

227
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.440
had about her performing sexual acts on him. Brooks sent

228
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.000
Miss Rowe's sexually explicit text messages and pressured her to

229
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:03.120
exchange in sexting with him. After the sexual assault in

230
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.919
Los Angeles, Brooks increased the frequency of saying his sexual

231
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.919
fantasies about her out loud, along with his physical gropings

232
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.000
of her breast while she was doing his hair and makeup.

233
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.159
Other sexually explicit remarks by Brooks, including him telling Miss

234
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.360
Row that he had quote fucked multiple women in every

235
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:28.159
corner of a hotel room, white, black, brown, whatever, and

236
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:33.120
had done so on every surface in a hotel room unquote.

237
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.840
Brooks increased the frequency of his sexually charged conversations, including

238
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.279
his repeated remarks of having a threesome with his wife,

239
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.120
Miss Yearwood, in which he suggested Miss Row would be

240
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:50.120
the third person, which Miss Row believes brooks wife overheard

241
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.840
on at least one occasion. On too many occasions to list,

242
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.399
Brooks would lavishly stare at Miss Roe's breast and pressure

243
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.000
Miss Rowe to open her shirt and allow him to

244
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.920
physically touch her breast for purposes of arousal, after which

245
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.480
Brooks would then masturbate and regarding this, Brooks, who said

246
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.640
he would take care of himself, also told Miss Row

247
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:17.079
he could not let her see because quote, when I

248
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:23.799
come it's gallons unquote. In late October twenty nineteen, Brooks

249
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.480
brought Miss Roy to Los Angeles for five days, during

250
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.480
which he physically graped her body, including her breast. Miss

251
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.160
Roy was terrified to be in a hotel room again,

252
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.200
worried he would force herself on her. Her fears were justified,

253
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.279
as one morning, when miss Rowe went to Brooks room

254
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.519
to do his hair and makeup, he was on the bed,

255
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.640
face down, wearing loose shorts, holding his crotch, and made

256
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.880
it clear that he wanted to do what he had

257
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:54.720
done before in Los Angeles with miss Row prior. Miss

258
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.759
Roy managed to escape the situation because he was running

259
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.480
late and people were waiting to be him up. At times,

260
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.359
Brooks implied the groping of her breast would continue, despite

261
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:10.599
miss Row insisting this was unwanted. For example, one time,

262
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.519
when he said, while groping her, next time we mess

263
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:19.160
around and miss Row clearly said no, he became visibly

264
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.000
angry at miss Row and left. The frequency was such

265
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.559
that it was inevitable that other employees of Brooks likely

266
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.359
saw or heard instances of unwanted physical groping of her

267
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.319
breast while she was styling his hair and doing his makeup.

268
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.240
In heer about May of twenty twenty, Brooks, while speaking

269
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.279
to his manager with his wife also present, directly in

270
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.799
front of Miss Row, talked about inventing a shampoo bottle

271
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.400
that would double as a dildo. When miss Row became

272
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.359
uncomfortable and would not join in the conversation, Brooks became

273
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:58.000
upset slammed his fists down on the kitchen counter in frustrations,

274
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:00.640
so hard that items on the counter moved, and he

275
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.680
leaned in and spoke in a threatening manner to miss Row.

276
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.920
Following this incident, miss Roe sent a text to Brooks,

277
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:12.119
and it quotes the text, I have thought a lot

278
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.279
about the conversation of last Monday. I can't work in

279
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.960
an environment where explicit sexual comments are made about shampoo

280
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.839
bottles doubling as dildo's. I mean you no harm, and

281
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.480
if you truly value my work, I'm happy to show

282
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.799
up tomorrow.

283
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.039
And or wherever you may need my services.

284
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.519
During a phone conversation in twenty twenty, after she told

285
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.000
Brooks that she was upset, he told his wife that

286
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.119
Miss Rowe had seen his penis. Brooks tried to minimize

287
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.519
what happened, so apparently at some point y'all, he told

288
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.480
his wife about it, according to her, but he tried

289
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.440
to minimize that, and he said, oh sweetheart. For one,

290
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.559
I think I know Tricia pretty well, and she wasn't uncomfortable.

291
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.039
And I said, you saw my stuff.

292
00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.720
That was it.

293
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.160
We were talking about something and it just came up. Look,

294
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.400
I'm worried you are overthinking this. After the sexual assault

295
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.759
in Los Angeles, Brooks told Miss Rowe about a mysterious

296
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.440
text message that he received in which a person claimed

297
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.319
that Brooks had ruined his life. In a fhone conversation

298
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.039
about this text, Brookes said he had no idea who

299
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:24.680
texted him the message, and suggested that he thought it

300
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.279
may be miss Roy's husband who had sent the text

301
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.880
and tried to get her to reveal her husband's phone number.

302
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.720
And why we just found out she was married during

303
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.240
all this interesting, Brooks told Miss Rowe, I never want

304
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.440
to hurt anybody, so that one and he's referring to

305
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.480
the mysterious text. It bothered me. It bothered me. I

306
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.480
didn't know the number. Still referring to the supposed text message,

307
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:54.200
Brooks also said, and that killed me. It broke my heart.

308
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.400
It's like, God, I never want to hurt anybody. So

309
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.960
I was just I was scared to death. Brooks then

310
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.680
started to talk about the fact that Miss Rowe had

311
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.519
not worked for Brooks for several months, so he had

312
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.200
one of his employees call her to see what's happening.

313
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.720
And then, you know, when they called you for work

314
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:15.400
and you couldn't do it for two months, I thought,

315
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:20.079
oh crap, That's what I thought, Oh crap. So I

316
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.599
was trying to seek you out to come talk or

317
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.640
whatever I needed to do. I don't want to hurt anybody,

318
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.960
and I just felt bad. So at this point, he

319
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:35.359
is trying to make sure that, you know, smooth things over.

320
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.119
He didn't want a lawsuit like what happened and filed

321
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.319
against him. This is all alleged by her. So according

322
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.680
to her, she's texting him and they're talking back and

323
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:49.000
forth on the phone, and he's insinuating her husband knows

324
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.359
about the ship that had went on and he was,

325
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.880
you know, freaking out about that.

326
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:55.440
Then she didn't show up.

327
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:59.720
For work for two months and he's getting nervous. According

328
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.200
to her, of course, Brooks knew that the sexual assault

329
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.200
rape that he had subjected Miss roy to when Los

330
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:09.920
Angeles was bad, and further, she had told him about

331
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:14.279
the severe back and neck pain she was experiencing, concerned

332
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.680
by the repercussions if she denied him the ability to

333
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.519
sexually force himself on her again, Miss Rose said, on

334
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:24.039
a call to Brooks in twenty twenty, and I'm gonna

335
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:26.920
quote her, I want to make sure that that even

336
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.279
though I've told you know that you're cool with no,

337
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:34.119
I mean no is in no fooling around like we

338
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.160
had done. You are cool with that, right unquote. She

339
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.279
was fearful that despite what he said, that Brooks was

340
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.119
angry and upset with her. Miss Rose said, when I

341
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.680
saw you with another music artist, you were pretty upset

342
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:54.839
with me. Incredibly, Brooks replied as follows, and it's going

343
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:59.480
to quote the reply here. No, I would never be

344
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.680
upset with you. Look at it this way, okay, look

345
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.000
at it the best way I can explain it is

346
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.400
me and you broke into a jewelry store and the

347
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.319
second we broke the door, we looked at each other

348
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.480
and said, this isn't right. But we had already broken

349
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.319
the door. And so I think me and you get

350
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.839
out and run and just hope that nobody ever finds

351
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.559
out and just love one another and be friends.

352
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.920
Is that fair? Then?

353
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.160
In twenty twenty, Brooks told her, I work with the best,

354
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.680
and I don't want to do something stupid that breaks

355
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.279
this team up. So I will do whatever I need

356
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.319
to do or whatever I don't need to do. But

357
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.559
I just want to keep working with you. But if

358
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.319
you feel weird working with me, it's fine. We don't

359
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:47.480
have to work together. In response, Miss Roe said, I've

360
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.680
never found myself in a situation like this. I just

361
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.440
don't know that I'm going to be able to look up.

362
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.160
And I'm frankly a little frightened of you. I really am,

363
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.839
and Brookes said, sweep, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine

364
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:08.359
that makes me frightened of you. In this phone conversation,

365
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:11.480
Miss Rowe explains that it would be very difficult to

366
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.960
work with Brooks again, to which Brooks said, I'm asking

367
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.480
you to work together forever, and you have a place

368
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:20.720
here as long as you want it. I'm lucky to

369
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.599
have you. I don't want this to go anywhere, and

370
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.599
I don't want something that happened in the moment to

371
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:28.319
screw the whole twenty years.

372
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:28.720
Have known you.

373
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.079
In addition of phone calls, there were multiple texts between

374
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.519
Brooks and miss Row, but while Miss Roy was at

375
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.640
the studio with Brooks to style his hair in twenty twenty,

376
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.519
Brooks surpetitiously took her phone and deleted most of the

377
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:49.119
text messages he had sent to her containing explicit sexual content. Eventually,

378
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.079
Miss Ray was unable to continue working for Brooks, and

379
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.000
she sought legal counsel about what happened. In addition, in

380
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:58.960
or about May of twenty twenty one, Miss Roy moved

381
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:04.079
to Mississippi. When Miss Roy's council contacted Brooks and disclosed

382
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.319
the facts that Miss Roy was preparing to file a

383
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:10.319
complaint in California to hold him accountable for sexual assaults,

384
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:14.799
and even shared a copy of the drafted complaint with Brooks.

385
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.640
He used the fact that Miss Rowe had dared to

386
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.279
speak with him about the harm he had forced on

387
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.680
her as an opportunity to inflict even more harm and

388
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.960
pain on Miss Row, specifically while pretending to be in

389
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:31.839
discussions with Miss Roy to resolve her legal claims against him.

390
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.359
On September thirteenth, twenty twenty four, Brooks filed a preemptive

391
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.920
abuse complaint, and that was the declaratory judgment I've read

392
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:43.240
to you at the beginning of this podcast, and it

393
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:48.400
goes on incredibly the abusive Mississippi action. Brooks labeled himself

394
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.039
the victim and claimed Miss Roy was lying and was

395
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:57.319
an extortionist who intended on destroying his professional reputation. Brooks

396
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.960
alleged she threatened to file her complaint only because Brooks

397
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.880
Reviews to give her a raise and pay for health insurance.

398
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.240
The abuse of action by Brooks is a blatant attempt

399
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.279
to further control and bully his sexual assault victim by

400
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:15.359
utilizing his multi millionaire resources to game the legal system.

401
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:17.279
As part of the lawsuit.

402
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:20.960
He filed against miss Row in desperation, Brooks simultaneously filed

403
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.680
a motion to proceed under a pseudonym, John Doe. The

404
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.640
basis for this is described by brook was because he

405
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.839
has a well earned reputation and decent and caring man,

406
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:34.519
and therefore the sexual assault allegations are disclosed. He said

407
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:38.279
it would create unavoidable damage to his family. Brooks is

408
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.559
desperate to prevent his millions of fans from learning about

409
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.799
the horrific things he has said and done to a

410
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.440
junior female employee who did nothing to deserve such treatment.

411
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:51.920
But our legal system is not a place to allow

412
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.640
wealthy wrongdoers the ability to run workarounds on sexual assault

413
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.440
victims who attempt to hold perpetrators accountable. Yet this is

414
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.720
precisely what Brooks is trying to do, and it gives

415
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.400
a little bit about both of their background. I'm gonna

416
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:10.720
spare you Garth Brooks because everybody knows his background. But

417
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.319
just quickly on Miss Row. She's a professional makeup artist

418
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.279
and hairstylist who has worked in the music industry for

419
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.599
more than thirty years. Her work garnered a loyalist of clients,

420
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.720
many of him are household names. Through her hard work,

421
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:28.279
Miss Row has performed the hairstyling and makeup for celebrities,

422
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:32.960
appearing in countless publication. Throughout her career, She's collaborated with

423
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.279
many professional photographers and unfortunately, in late twenty eighteen, the

424
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.200
pressure on Miss Row to provide financial support for her

425
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:43.799
family increased and she needed to take on as much

426
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:47.319
work as she can handle, and Miss rowe shared her

427
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:51.319
financial challenges with Brooks and his wife. And then it

428
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.359
tells about a specific incident, and that says it's part

429
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:57.519
of her work with Brooks, and Miss Roe traveled to

430
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.680
stadiums for concerts, such as to net her name for

431
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.079
part of his tour in twenty eighteen. In studios for

432
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.680
filming commercials, she often performed work for him. At a

433
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:12.720
home he shared with his wife, Brooks intentionally fondal, grabbed

434
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.279
and kissed his wife in close physical proximity to Miss

435
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:20.279
Rowe in a way that made Miss Roe feel extremely uncomfortable.

436
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.359
In addition, Brooks would tell Miss Rod that he thought

437
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.240
it was hot to see his wife be with another

438
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.799
woman sexually, and implied she could be the other woman.

439
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.960
Although it was disturbing, she did not respond to these suggestions.

440
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.319
Miss Rowe has worked for Miss Yearwood since nineteen ninety

441
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.880
nine and worried that Miss Yearwood would hear things he

442
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.319
was saying to Miss Row and be upset with her,

443
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:47.559
even though of course such behavior was initiated by Brooks.

444
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.480
For example, Brooks openly talked about sexual subjects in front

445
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:56.599
of Miss Row, including blood jobs. Brooks regularly changed his

446
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.799
clothes in front of Miss Row and often purposely exposed

447
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.920
to him genitals. In twenty nineteen, when she was at

448
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.039
brooks home to do his hair and makeup. She set

449
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:08.559
up her supplies in his bathroom as usual, but while

450
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.279
she was setting up, Brooks starts taking a shower in

451
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:13.880
front of her. He then comes out naked with an

452
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:18.200
erection pointed directly at Miss Row in shock. Before she

453
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:20.559
knew what to do, he grabbed her hands and forced

454
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:24.920
them onto his erect penis. Disgustingly, Brooks said he wanted

455
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.240
her to go down on him, and he said he

456
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:29.759
had fantasies of her going down on him with her

457
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.559
glasses on and ejaculating all over her face, which I

458
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.319
told you about. After this event, he continued to repeat

459
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.240
this sexual fantasy to Miss Row, as well as other

460
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:41.200
fantasies he.

461
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:42.279
Had about her.

462
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:46.279
It also says in the lawsuit that Brooks uses more

463
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:50.079
than one cell phone and sometimes would use different names

464
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.519
and email addresses to communicate with Miss Row. He would

465
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.640
tell miss Row ahead of time that it would be

466
00:29:55.759 --> 00:30:00.000
him sending her communications under a different name. For example,

467
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.759
well in twenty nineteen, he texted her to use a

468
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.200
certain email address with a woman's name. It will come

469
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:10.519
back to you as in he lest a woman's first

470
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:14.559
and last name, but that is actually me, and he

471
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.279
put a little smiley face in Mulji all day Brooks

472
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.000
thought he deleted everything on Miss Roy's fane, he actually

473
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.480
did not, and some texts remain in clinting days in

474
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.440
which he encouraged Miss Roy to speak in a sexualized

475
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:32.240
manner to him, such as this message referring to his

476
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.839
quote huge stick. And it shows a screenshot of that text.

477
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:42.960
But here's where something is weird. She's talking to him

478
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:47.599
and she says in that huge stick you carry, and

479
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.160
he writes, I'll take that nickname, thank you, I love you.

480
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.079
So she brought up the huge stick, so it proves

481
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.480
that something was going on with that text, but it

482
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:04.440
also it's her saying that to him, So put that

483
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.839
in your back pocket for a second. And then it

484
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.839
just goes on to list the causes of action, which

485
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.920
are the laws that he broke, right, sexual battery, sexual misconduct,

486
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:19.079
things of that nature. Now let me say this before

487
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:22.200
I get to Brook's statement, because he has responded to

488
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.279
this and issued his statement, But before I get to that,

489
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.480
there's a few things that bother me about this lawsuit.

490
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:35.279
Number One, she has very little of the text communications

491
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.400
that they did back and forth, and I know that

492
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.079
her story here. What she alleges is that he grabbed

493
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.000
her phone and deleted a bunch of their text messages

494
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.920
that were suggestive. But you're texting Garth Brooks. By the

495
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.440
time he had grabbed that phone and started deleting messages,

496
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.519
it was well into her relationship with him, where he

497
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.640
was allegedly forcing her to do a lot of things.

498
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:04.160
I would imagine there's not very many people listening to

499
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.759
this podcast right now that are thinking I would have

500
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.279
not saved a copy of that somewhere or a screenshot

501
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:14.160
of that and printed it out or uploaded it to

502
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:18.440
a cloud. I mean, in twenty twenty, twenty nineteen, everything

503
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:22.240
cloud based stuff was very common. I just can't imagine

504
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.759
that you're texting the largest country music singer of all

505
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:29.759
time and he raped you in a hotel room, and

506
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:34.160
you're still working for him and you're not saving this

507
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:35.039
stuff now.

508
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.240
I do know that their situation.

509
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.119
Diddy's a good example where people continue to hang out

510
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:43.559
with him even though he was doing horrible things to them.

511
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:45.960
I do know that, But in.

512
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:50.880
This situation versus the Diddy situation, for example, there's a

513
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:55.880
lot of evidence against Diddy. These these ladies were definitely

514
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.680
cognizant enough to save proof of the kind of shit

515
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.440
he was doing. Believe me, they've got a lot of text,

516
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.920
a lot of pictures, and a lot of evidence that

517
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.519
has not come out yet. In that case, I just

518
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.319
can't believe this woman would not have saved that stuff

519
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:11.400
on a hard drive somewhere.

520
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:12.680
Second, she was married.

521
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.799
And if you have a makeup artist for Garth Brooks

522
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:18.559
and that happens one time, you're not gonna tell your

523
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:21.119
husband about it. Your husband's not gonna go try to

524
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.319
whip Garth's ass or at least report it. That's very

525
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:27.880
strange to me as well. Not saying she's full of shit,

526
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.000
but I am saying there's situations where this stuff is legit.

527
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:38.799
And also, when you're a very famous anything, actor, actress, music, artist, whatever,

528
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:42.359
you open yourself up to people taking advantage of that.

529
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:47.720
Not saying that's a situation here. It's alleged. You know,

530
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.240
all these things are alleged, but there's a lot of

531
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.759
things that you know, I try to look at things

532
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.359
and see if it adds up, and in this situation,

533
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.039
there's a lot of things she could have done that

534
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:00.599
she didn't do, and a lot of things she did

535
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:01.599
that she didn't.

536
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:02.920
Necessarily have to do.

537
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:05.880
Do I think that something was going on with these

538
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:09.440
two personally? I mean, I wasn't there. I don't have

539
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.239
any direct knowledge obviously, but it seems like something was

540
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.280
going on because they do have the text where she

541
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.960
referred to him having a big stet and he responded

542
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.719
to it. Was it something that was not consensual?

543
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.199
I don't know.

544
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.280
Maybe more evidence will come out to the contrary, but

545
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:36.039
definitely a stranger situation than most when it comes to

546
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:40.920
these lawsuits. Now, he did respond to that, and I

547
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:43.800
want to read his response so we can be fair

548
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.199
to both sides. And his response is, for the last

549
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:51.559
two months, I had been hassled to no end with threats, lies,

550
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.480
and tragic tales of what my future would be if

551
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.000
I did not write a check for many millions of dollars.

552
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.079
It has been like having a loaded gun waved in

553
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:05.400
my face. Hush money, No matter how much or how little,

554
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:09.400
is still hush money, he continued, In my mind, that

555
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:12.800
means I am admitting to behavior. I am incapable of

556
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:17.119
ugly acts no human should ever do to another. We

557
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.360
filed suit against this person nearly a month ago to

558
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:24.559
speak out against extortion and defamation of character. We filed

559
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.519
it anonymously for the sake of families on both sides.

560
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:32.320
I want to play music tonight. I want to continue

561
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:35.960
our good deeds going forward, and it breaks my heart

562
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.920
that these wonderful things are in question now. I trust

563
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.800
the system. I do not fear the truth. I am

564
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:46.000
not the man they have painting me out to be.

565
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.280
They referring to her and her attorneys, I suppose. So

566
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:54.960
that was from Garth Brooks. Take what you want from

567
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:58.920
all that. That is the up to date information graphic

568
00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.679
as it may be.

569
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.320
I'll keep you updated. I have my own opinion on it.

570
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:17.199
I want to thank everyone for listening subscribing to us

571
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.920
on Patreon. We deal a lot with our Patreon. We

572
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:23.920
do bonus episodes. We drop every episode commercial free and early,

573
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:29.760
and if you are one of our higher tier Patreons,

574
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.800
you get a quarterly gift and we sent out a

575
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.239
ton of those just a few days ago, so you

576
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.599
should be getting those pretty soon, and we have another

577
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:41.199
batch of them coming in because I actually ran out.

578
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:44.280
I didn't expect to have as many Patreon top tier

579
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.400
level members as I do at this point, so some

580
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:49.519
of you will be getting those in the next couple

581
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:51.440
of weeks. Some of those some of you will be

582
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:54.239
getting those in the next couple of days. So until

583
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.320
next time for exposed scandalous files of the elite, I'm

584
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.079
your host, Jim Chapman.

585
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:02.639
Much love,
