Garth Brooks Accuser Believed Country Star 'Planned to Hire Someone to Murder Her,' New Court Filing Claims

Garth Brooks unveiled a new skeleton in the ongoing legal battle against his former hairstylist.

In court documents filed Tuesday, October 8, "The Dance" singer claimed his ex-employee — who recently accused Brooks of rape and sexual assault — was convinced the 62-year-old was going to have someone kill her.

"Defendant also alleged a belief that Plaintiff planned to hire someone to murder her," the court filing obtained by a news publication read in part.

Brooks' latest complaint revealed he "first" learned of the woman's accusations when he received a "demand letter" sent in July. The "Friends in Low Places" crooner vehemently denied the claims against him of rape and sexual assault, insisting: "None of [them have] any basis in fact."

The "If Tomorrow Never Comes" singer is seeking compensatory and punitive damages from his accuser — who has chosen to go by the pseudonym "Jane Roe" — as Brooks feels he was the "victim of a shakedown."

As OK! previously reported, Brooks motion on Tuesday controversially exposed his former hair stylist's real name, though he argued her identity was only revealed after she did the same to him by naming the country star in her lawsuit.

The alleged rape victim's attorneys slammed Brooks' decision to release their client's name, declaring in a statement obtained by OK!: "Garth Brooks just revealed his true self. Out of spite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim. 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 Thunder Rolls" vocalist was quick to respond after Roe sued Brooks earlier this month.

"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. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face," he admitted in a press statement hours after news broke about the rape and sexual assault accusations.

"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," he continued. "We filed suit against this person nearly a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation of character."

Brooks added: "We filed it anonymously for the sake of families on both sides. … I want to continue our good deeds going forward. It breaks my heart these wonderful things are in question now. I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be."
