Country singer Garth Brooks has revealed he is house hunting in Ireland amid sexual misconduct allegations.
In a civil lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in October, a hair and makeup artist has accused the country singer of sexual assault and abuse, allegations the singer has vehemently denied.
However, the 62-year-old is seeking compensatory and punitive damages from the accuser after he claimed he is the “victim of a shakedown.”

Garth informed fans during a recent Facebook Live that Trisha is particularly keen for them to secure a house in Ireland.
Referring to his wife, he said: “The Queen is pushing hard for the house in Ireland.”
“I think this last time over there, she just fell head over heels in love with the country. We played two weekends, and everyone was so sweet to her.”

He also revealed that his band and crew have already seen what he refers to as “the Irish special,” an Irish TV special that has been in the works since his 2022 Croke Park performances.
Garth said: “It’s not even transferred to 4k yet or 8k, whatever they’re going to do with it, and it looked amazing.”
“I look at it and think, ‘I was there, that really happened.’ There were standing ovations through the night from the band and crew because they were just going for it.”

Last month, the country singer was accused of sexual assault and abuse by a hair and makeup artist.
However, Garth has vehemently denied the claims and is seeking compensation.
Garth filed a complaint on Tuesday, October 8, with the District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi Northern Division.

In documents obtained by Us Weekly, he claimed that his accuser leaked his name while waiting for a judge to sign off on his separate filing in to use a pseudonym for both parties in the lawsuit.
The documents alleged: “When Jane Roe threatened to publish lies about him — intending to blackmail Plaintiff into paying her millions of dollars — Plaintiff filed this lawsuit to preserve his reputation, establish the truth, and put a stop to her scheme.”
“For the sake of his family, and out of respect for Roe’s family as well, Plaintiff titled this action ‘John Doe vs. Jane Roe.’”

They further claimed the Country music star’s accuser gave the court “fewer than 48 hours after filing her opposition before publicly leaking Plaintiff’s identity to the press.”
It was further alleged that the accuser’s legal team confirmed Garth’s identity while his filing was still under review, claiming: “her defiance of this court’s authority was intentional.”
The filing was submitted a second time on Tuesday, in which both Garth and his accuser were named.
In this filing, it was alleged she accused him of sexual assault when he didn’t agree to her “demands for salaried employment and medical benefits.”

Garth claimed that in a letter from July 17th his accuser “threatened” to “publicly file fabricated allegations” unless he “agreed to pay Defendant millions of dollars not to file the suit.”
In a second letter, the accuser “offered to refrain from publicly filing her false and defamatory lawsuit against Plaintiff in exchange for a multi-million dollar payment.”
Throughout, the Friends in Low Places singer has maintained the allegations against him are false, requesting “a declaratory judgment that Defendant’s allegations against him of sexual misconduct are untrue.”
He also asked the judge for “compensatory damages proximately caused by Defendant’s intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy, including incidental and consequential damages” – as well as “punitive damages in an amount sufficient to deter similar future behaviour.”

In a statement to Us Weekly, the accuser’s legal team said: “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 ex-employee said that in 2019 Garth Brooks sexually assaulted her in a hotel room.

The woman claims in the lawsuit that she was forced to continue working for the singer because of her financial difficulties.
She alleges the singer knew about her struggles and exploited them.
In response to a former employee’s allegations of alleged sexual assault and battery in a US lawsuit, country music artist Garth Brooks prevously declared, “I am not the man they have painted me to be.”
