<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yesterday we <a href="https://countrymusicnewsblog.com/garth-brooks-legal-battle-over-sexual-misconduct-allegations/" data-type="post" data-id="41238">reported on a lawsuit</a> that was filed against country music megastar <strong><a title="Garth Brooks" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSGarth/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fgarth-brooks-tickets%2F">Garth Brooks</a> </strong>which held some very serious allegations of violent sexual assault. Garth has since made a public statement basically calling the suit extortion and denying any claims of wrong-doing. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“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. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“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.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We filed suit against this person nearly a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation of character.  ;We filed it anonymously for the sake of families on both sides.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I want to play music tonight. 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.”</p>
