Is Trisha Yearwood still standing by her man?

In the days since Garth Brooks was sued for sexual assault, he has denied the allegations, but his wife Trisha Yearwood has yet to respond publicly. So is he still standing by his people in these accusations? Yearwood recently returned to Instagram with a simple message of support for Brooks.

7 October: Since their 2005 wedding, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have been the epitome of a country-music couple. The hitmakers performed and recorded together, collaborated on a Christmas album, and spent their time volunteering for Habitat for Humanity; Brooks even inspired Yearwood's pivot to cookbooks. But that image was shattered last week, when Brooks' former hairstylist and makeup artist sued her for sexual assault and battery. The woman, who did not want to be named, said she started working for Brooks in 2017 after working for Yearwood since 1999. She claimed that Brooks raped her in 2019, during which he repeatedly suggested she “have a threesome” with Yearwood. Brooks tried to silence the allegations even before the woman filed her lawsuit, filing her own preemptive lawsuit anonymously in mid-September. Since then, he has denied his allegations, saying, “I believe in the system, I'm not afraid of the truth and I'm not the person they portray me to be.”

A source said our weekly That while Yearwood is “shocked,” she's still supporting Brooks. “Everyone around him, including Trisha and her daughters, believes he's telling the truth,” said the source, who is said to have worked with Brooks recently.

Yearwood's actions seem to be the same. While Brooks awaited the filing of the lawsuit, he and Yearwood publicly put on a united front. told USA Today In a story published on September 13 (the day she filed her lawsuit), she said she planned to be Yearwood's “plus one” after she finished her Las Vegas residency next March. Last week, before the case against him was dropped, Brooks and Yearwood volunteered together at Habitat for Humanity's annual Carter Work Project, hand in hand at the site. Talked to them too people On October 1, they volunteered and pegged President Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday. “My favorite thing about being with Mrs. Yearwood is the good times, but going through the bad times at the same time because it brings you together and it tests your mettle,” Brooks said, adding Yearwood said they were “best friends”.

Yearwood appears to be preparing to weather Brooks' allegations behind the scenes. The day before the lawsuit against Brooks was filed, Yearwood sold his house in Nashville. She bought the property in 2000 shortly after her second divorce, but didn't live there full-time after moving to Oklahoma with Brooks, she previously said. people. Yearwood listed the home for $4.5 million per Realtor.com in May 2023, after previously trying to sell it in 2014. He lowered the price to $3.95 million this April, before Brooks lowered it again to $3.8 million on Sept. 11, two days before. Filed his first lawsuit – anticipating potential bad PR to come. And Yearwood still settled for below asking price, selling for $3.34 million. While it's unclear whether the timing of the sale is related to the allegations against Brooks, it's pretty easy to connect the dots.

October 8: If it wasn't clear before, it is now: Yearwood isn't shying away from Brooks. Yearwood made her first social media post since the lawsuit on Oct. 7, sharing a casual photo of her singing with Brooks at her still-ongoing Vegas residency. “Love each other,” she captioned the photo, which has since been turned off for comments.
