Garth Brooks' sexual assault accuser reacts to singer revealing her ...

The woman accusing Garth Brooks of sexual assault has called out the singer for publicly releasing her name, saying he did it “out of spite.”

“Garth Brooks just revealed his true self. Out of spite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim,” the accuser’s legal team of Douglas H. Wigdor, Jeanne M. Christensen and Hayley Baker said in a statement to “Us.”

“With no legal justification, Brooks outed her because he thinks the laws don’t apply to him. On behalf of our client, we will be moving for maximum sanctions against him immediately.”

The statement was published hours after Brooks filed a complaint, which claimed the accuser leaked Brooks’ name in an alleged attempt to “shakedown” the singer.

On Tuesday, Brooks named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape in a lawsuit last week.

Brooks’ lawyers publicized the accuser’s name in an amended complaint filed in federal court in Mississippi. And in another filing, they said that Brooks “is the victim of a shakedown” and that the woman “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case.

The suit accuses Brooks of repeatedly exposing his genitals and buttocks; talking about sex and sharing sexual fantasies with Roe. It also states he regularly changed his clothes in front of Roe and sent “sexually explicit text messages.”

The lawsuit alleges two 2019 incidents:

Roe alleges Brooks walked out of the shower naked, “grabbed her hands and forced them” onto his genitals, while speaking to her with sexually explicit and vulgar language.The suit alleges that Brooks raped Roe in a hotel room during a work trip to Los Angeles where Brooks was taping a Grammy tribute performance.

Brooks said a rape accusation levied against him is “like having a loaded gun waved in my face.”

The country music icon said he anonymously filed a lawsuit weeks again against his accuser for “extortion and defamation of character.”

“For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars,” he said. “It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face. Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money.
