Who is Garth Brooks? The country singer facing sexual assault allegations

However, the last decade has not been without controversy: in 2013, Brooks was sued for fraud by his former business partner Lisa Sanderson. She claimed Brooks hadn’t paid her a salary in 20 years, accused him of tax fraud and added that he was a “paranoid, angry, deceitful and vindictive man who turns on those closest to him at the drop of a hat.” Brooks denied the allegations and a jury ruled in his favor.
