Not a great time for Garth Brooks’ family.
Late last week, the news broke that former hair and makeup artist who used worked for Garth Brooks’ wife Trisha Yearwood, as well as Garth himself, filed a lawsuit against him, alleging the country music superstar repeatedly sexually assaulted and eventually raped her in 2019.
Garth has of course vehemently denied all of the accusations against him, and it sounds like his wife Trisha (who was also named in the suit), is sticking by him, along with his three children.
A source who has recently worked closely with Garth exclusively told US Weekly that his family believes in his innocence, and called him a “very kind and nice man.” They added that many on his team also believe he is innocent:
“Garth is known to be a very kind and nice man, so these allegations are very shocking. Everyone around him including Trisha and his daughters believe him to be telling the truth. Many around him think this is out of character and something he would never do.
Everyone around him is shocked. All Garth cares about is his family and his fans. He is a family man and is very down to earth.”
Garth has three adult children, Taylor, August and Allie, who he shares with his ex-wife Sandy Mahl. They divorced in 2001, and he married Yearwood in 2005.
Only time will tell what the truth is as this plays out in court, but I feel for his daughters… this has got to be hard to be incredibly go through.
