Garth Brooks rape accuser's lawyers slam singer for revealing Jane Rowe's real name; The musician insisted the attack was part of a “malicious scheme”.

Less than a week after Garth Brooks was accused of raping her in California, the country singer returned to federal court in Mississippi today to bow out of her own efforts to keep the real names in the case out of public view.

After being revealed in a highly graphic Oct. 3 filing in LA Superior Court by “Jane Roe,” an amended complaint Tuesday identified Brooks as a former makeup artist and stylist and his wife and fellow country music icon Trisha Yearwood.

With his “great public image and selfless philanthropy” in jeopardy, Brooks today described a “blackmail” move to pay him “millions of dollars” and “the victim of a shakedown”. his

Denying everything, as he did last week, Brooks blamed the “malicious scheme” for Roe's anger at being denied “his request for a paying job and medical benefits.” That, now seeking to dismiss his own motion, Brooks said Tuesday that his mid-September motion for “pseudonym treatment for both parties” has turned into a dead letter office thanks to Jane Roe's own attorney.

“Instead of allowing this court to consider and adjudicate the plaintiff's request, Roe took the decision away from the court,” Brooks and his legal team said today in their 7-page response to the defendant's response. “While plaintiff's motion to proceed under a pseudonym was pending, and before it was fully disclosed, Rowe's counsel, Douglas Wigdor, revealed to CNN that plaintiff was world-renowned musician and humanitarian Garth Brooks,” West Coast's response to the complaint. “Painful and traumatic” rape, battery and other assaults from 2019. “CNN published an article about the dispute before Roe's California case was on file and available in a public docket.

The six-claim West Coast LASC filing from Jane Roe also seeks a series of unspecified damages.

“Garth Brooks just revealed his true self,” Doug Wigdor, Gene M. Christensen and Hayley Baker said in a statement to Deadline this evening. “Despite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim.
