Garth Brooks

Do you need to feel the thunder? Everything's Canceled podcast is rolling back in with a new country music episode! Slip on down this week with your friends Herman and Lorena as we discuss the low places and social graces of best-selling artist Garth Brooks. Beloved by fans, Garth sold enough cds in the 1990's to be the only artist to achieve nine certified diamond albums. If you want to hear Garth's music you'd better be near a jukebox or radio, or you still need to buy one of his cd's because he has vehemently resisted allowing his music on streaming platforms. In 2005, Troyal Garth Brooks married fellow singing star Trisha Yearwood and solidified their status as a country music power couple. Garth has also positioned himself uniquely as a vocal supporter of LGBTQ rights and liberal values of inclusivity and diversity, while uncontroversially maintaining status as an icon of country music. Brooks is not a stranger to legal complications, in 2013 he was sued by former business partner Lisa Sanderson seeking $425,000 claiming she never received proper compensation for production deals she helped make. The jury didn't agree and ruled in favor of Brooks. Garth is now involved in a legal battle with an anonymous former female employee who did hair and makeup for Yearwood since 1999 and Brooks since 2017, despite the fact that Garth Brooks is bald. Jane Roe filed her suit against Garth Brooks for assault, battery, sexual battery and gender violence in court in Southern California in October 2024. Anticipating this lawsuit, Brooks went on the offensive, filing an anonymous defamation suit earlier in 2024. We discuss the details described in the lawsuit, including allegations that Brooks exposed himself to Jane Roe on several occasions, walking out of the shower naked with an erection and "flexing his muscles" in an attempt to show off, asked for oral sex and requested the victim wear her glasses so that he could cum on them, forcibly raped Jane Roe in a hotel room while holding her upside down by her ankles, bragged about the diversity of his numerous sexual conquests saying that he had, "fucked women on every inch of his hotel room, despite their race", frequently kissed and fondled Yearwood in front of Jane Roe and suggested that it "would be hot" to see the two women together, and on numerous occasions required her to do his hair and make up topless while he masturbated and bragged that he "cums gallons". Garth has responded to the lawsuit with a statement denying involvement saying, "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. 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. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of -- ugly acts no human should ever do to another. I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be." Is there truth to these allegations? Is Garth Brooks' public persona a ruse that disguises a behind-the-scenes real life personality in contrast with his "everyman appeal"? How has Garth's reputation affected public opinion about this case and Brooks' accuser? Can Garth Brooks be canceled? Your hosts Herman and Lorena attempt to answer these questions and more on this week's episode of Everything's Canceled podcast! Featuring appearances by: Garth Brooks' l
