Garth Brooks presents photos of an anonymous accuser in the assault case

After making the controversial decision to name his anonymous rape accuser in a recent court filing, Garth Brooks has now submitted photos of Jane Roe as evidence.

Earlier this week, Brooks’ legal team filed a motion challenging Roe’s efforts to sanction Brooks and seal or redact his amended complaint — in which he revealed her real name. Brooks’ lawyers have argued that her decision to identify Roe was a response to actions she took to publicize the case, as well as alleged identifying descriptions Roe had included in her own legal filings.

Brooks’ lawyers claim that in the lawsuit filed in California, Roe describes himself to Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, “as a Mississippian with a career spanning more than thirty years, working as a trusted makeup artist and hairdresser.” . It also mentions a 2022 magazine profile of Roe that touted “her professional relationship” with the couple and included a photo of the three that was allegedly provided by Roe. This magazine page, as well as a poster advertising Roe’s services, were submitted as evidence along with the appeal.

Roe’s lawyers declined to comment on the matter.

Roe sued Brooks earlier this month, accusing the country star of sexually assaulting her multiple times in 2019. During a trip to Los Angeles, she once claimed that Brooks “locked her” in a hotel room and “grabbed her hands.” and dragged her onto a bed and raped her.

Brooks has denied the allegations. He also attempted to pre-empt Roe’s lawsuit by filing a complaint himself in federal court in Mississippi, where the dispute over Roe’s identity is currently taking place. That lawsuit, filed in September, was originally anonymously called “John Doe v. Jane Roe” submitted; Roe’s attorney confirmed that Brooks filed this lawsuit after Roe filed her own complaint in October.

Brooks has maintained that he wanted to proceed with pseudonyms and redactions, but Roe denied his request for shared pseudonymization “in its entirety.” Brooks’ lawyers say Roe “urged the court that both parties in this case should proceed under their own names.” Their new motion also cited a line from an earlier filing from Roe’s lawyers that said she was “willing to continue to use her name here if this court deems it necessary” in denying Brooks’ request for shared pseudonymity.

After Brooks’ legal team identified Roe in her amended statement of claim earlier this month, Roe’s attorneys, Douglas Wigdor, Jeanne Christensen and Hayley Baker, issued a statement saying, “Garth Brooks has just revealed his true self. Out of spite and as punishment, he publicly named her a rape victim. Without legal justification, Brooks outed her because he believes the laws don’t apply to him. On behalf of our client, we will immediately request maximum sentences against him.”
