A former makeup artist for Garth Brooks has accused the country music star of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit.The complaint — filed Thursday in a California state court — claims the alleged incidents of sexual abuse occurred in 2019. The makeup artist and hairstylist accused Brooks of raping her during a work trip in Los Angeles, according to CNN. 'We are very confident in our case, and over time the public will see his true character rather than his highly curated persona.'The alleged victim — identified only as "Jane Roe" in the lawsuit — claimed that the sexual abuse left her "physically" and "emotionally injured."The lawsuit claims the woman and Brooks traveled to Los Angeles in 2019 for a Grammys tribute to R&B singer Sam Moore. The suit alleges that only one hotel room was booked for both of them to share. Trapped in the room"After they arrived, suddenly Brooks appeared in the doorway to the bedroom, completely naked," the complaint read, according to Fox News. "He stood there and flexed his muscles. Ms. Roe immediately had a sick feeling in her stomach, knowing she was trapped in the room alone with Brooks, with no one to help and far away from Nashville."The lawsuit claims that Brooks then raped her. In the suit, the woman also accuses Brooks of repeatedly exposing his genitals and buttocks, talking about sex and sharing sexual fantasies with her, regularly changing his clothing in front of her, and sending sexually explicit text messages.Longtime employeeThe alleged victim began handling hair and makeup services for Brooks in 2017, according to the lawsuit. The woman said she was first hired in 1999 to do hair and makeup for Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood. The woman's legal team said in a statement that they "applaud our client's courage in moving forward with her complaints against Garth Brooks.""The complaint filed today demonstrates that sexual predators exist not only in corporate America, Hollywood, and in the rap and rock and roll industries but also in the world of country music," the statement read. "We encourage others who may have been victimized to contact us, as no survivor should suffer in silence."'Hassled to no end'Brooks vehemently denied the scathing allegations. "For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars," Brooks said in a statement. "It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face."The award-winning country music singer continued, "Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of — ugly acts no human should ever do to another."Brooks revealed that his legal team filed a lawsuit against his accuser "nearly a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation of character."The "Friends in Low Places" singer said his suit was filed anonymously "for the sake of families on both sides."Brooks contended that he would "trust the system." "I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be," Brooks concluded. Back to workHours after the searing accusations were revealed, Brooks performed in Las Vegas. After he performed at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace — where the 62-year-old country music singer has had a residency since May 2023 — Brooks penned an emotional message on social media. On Instagram Brooks shared a photo of himself onstage in front of a sold-out crowd during his show with the caption: “If there was ever a night that I really needed this, TONIGHT was that night! Thank you for my life!!!!! Love, g.” Douglas H. Wigdor — an attorney representing the woman in question — on Friday told CNN, “I cannot get into settlement discussions, but the suggestion made by Brooks that he was unwilling to pay millions is simply not true. We are very confident in our case, and over time the public will see his true character rather than his highly curated persona.”Like Blaze News?

A viral TikTok video showed just how easy it is to use fake information while seeking asylum at the southern border.An American man, purportedly from Michigan, provided no authentic information while using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection phone app. 'All they do is go off of the picture I submit.'The CBP One app is a mobile application that serves as a portal to government services for illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers."Through a series of guided questions, the app directs each type of user to the appropriate services based on their needs," CBP says on its website. "As part of CBP's comprehensive effort to improve the security of our nation's borders while enhancing legitimate travel and trade, CBP One™ provides increased accessibility and transparency to some of CBP's most utilized services."No ID neededThe official description makes the phone app sound professional and secure. The reality, however, as alleged in recent social media posts, is that the Department of Homeland Security makes almost no effort to establish a person's identity before the person is allowed to make an appointment in hopes of being granted asylum.A recent TikTok video that has circulated online shows just how little information is required in the app."Once you create an account, on the main page you just have to choose if you're the smuggler or the smuglee," the video creator joked.The first page opens with the following options for the user to self-describe:Broker/Carrier/ForwarderTravelerAircraft OperatorBus OperatorSeaplane PilotCommercial Truck DriverInternational OrganizationFake biosUsers are then prompted to fill out their "biographical information," which the content creator filled out with fake information. The name "Jesus Gonzalez" was used, with the country of birth entered as Mexico. He also entered his country of citizenship as Haiti and country of residence as American Samoa.The user then selected his gender as "unknown."At this point, the user is asked to provide a photo, for which he used a Google image of comedian Carlos Mencia; scanning a passport was listed as "optional."The app then asks where the user is traveling to; the fake applicant left the address and city as "unknown" and simply entered "California" with a zip code of "90001."He admitted that the zip code was the first option provided by Google maps."And that's it, I'm good to go," the voice-over stated. "It does let you choose between like eight different bridges to meet under; I chose the Eagle Pass bridge."The bridge listed on the app was Camino Real International Bridge 2. The Eagle Pass bridges have been hot spots for media coverage, showing thousands of migrants being gathered and cordoned off while they wait for processing. The CBP One app is meant to streamline this process and reduce the poor optics without lessening the number of applicantsViral outrageThe viral video was posted on the "FollowForLaughs" TikTok page and hosted by a man who said he was a "regular guy" from Michigan. He estimated that it took just five minutes to apply for asylum and get an appointment."I said I have no documentation. ... There is no way to cross-check who I say I am. ... All they do is go off of the picture I submit."Viewers were both angry at the results and thankful that vice presidential candidate JD Vance exposed the app during a recent debate."OK, so Vance was yelling the truth," one TikTok user wrote."And it was created in 2023 not 1990 like Walz said," another replied."So Vance had to push to get us this information and it's true," a viewer also said.In a repost of the video on X, a user suggested that America's homeless should simply register at the border to reap the benefits that illegal immigrants appear to receive."Wait so should people round up the homeless populations and register them as illegal aliens so that the government will provide them with food[,] housing[,] and jobs?"Wait so should people round up the homeless populations and register them as illegal aliens so that the government will provide them with food housing and jobs?— jcy (@newspeakdev) October 2, 2024 Like Blaze News?
