Country music legend Garth Brooks\u2019 health is taking a turn for the worse amid the ongoing r-pe scandal that threatens to derail his career.<\/p>\n
RadarOnline report that friends of the singer are even fearing for his life following the shocking claims made by a former aide. The bombshell lawsuit in question was filed on Thursday, October 3 by a \u201cJane Roe\u201d who claims to have worked for Brooks as a hairstylist and makeup artist.<\/p>\n
The mystery woman\u2019s suit detailed how she was employed by Brooks in 2017, but was hired to do hair and makeup for Trisha Yearwood \u2013 Brooks\u2019 wife \u2013 in 1999.<\/p>\n
Brooks quickly countersued the makeup artist for extortion and defamation, saying that she had threatened to go public with her story if he didn\u2019t pay her millions of dollars.<\/p>\n
Yet though the 62-year-old has continued to vehemently deny the claims leveled against him, sources close to the award-winning singer are said to have told RadarOnline that he is struggling.
\n\u201cHe\u2019s totally convinced he\u2019ll get through this mess, but it\u2019s caused him undue stress,\u201d one insider allegedly said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s in legal meetings and the phone is going off 24\/7. He\u2019s having to fend off questions from friends and loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
A second source added: \u201cIt\u2019s perhaps the most traumatic event of his life. The pressure he\u2019s facing is enough to make him a nervous wreck.\u201d<\/p>\n
They continued: \u201cHe may look like he\u2019s coming out swinging and all bluster, but behind the scenes he\u2019s completely shattered by these ugly accusations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe irony is he\u2019d gotten back to being healthy physically, but now there are genuine concerns about his blood pressure. It\u2019s not helped he\u2019s clearly seeking solace in the bread bin, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople around him notice he\u2019s gained weight, no doubt from the comfort eating, and worse he\u2019s hoarding food from Trisha, sweets, chips, all kinds of bad stuff that she\u2019d throw out.\u201d<\/p>\n
R-pe claims<\/p>\n
On October 7, a few days after the filing was made in California, Brooks told fans in a live-streamed chat: \u201cLet\u2019s address the elephant in the room, shall we? This thing is on. It\u2019s gonna happen, and people are telling me it could be up to two years, OK?
\n\u201cSo my suggestion is, we all take a deep breath, we all just kind of settle in, and let\u2019s hold hands and take a trip together.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement to CNN after the suit was filed, Brooks said: \u201cFor 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHush 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 \u2014 ugly acts no human should ever do to another,\u201d the singer continued.<\/p>\n
According to the suit itself \u2013 as per CNN \u2013 Brooks and his accuser traveled to Los Angeles in 2019 on the star\u2019s private jet.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce in Los Angeles at the hotel, Ms. Roe could not believe that Brooks had booked a hotel suite with one bedroom and she did not have a separate room.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
