Country music sensation Garth Brooks returned to the stage on Thursday (October 3) just hours after being accused of rape and battery in a lawsuit filed by a former employee.
The “Friends in Low Places” singer, 62, performed at Las Vegas ’ Caesars Palace as part of his ongoing residency, which began in May 2023 and is scheduled to run until March 2025.
Following the sold-out concert, Brooks posted a photo from the night, writing: “If there was ever a night that I really needed this, TONIGHT was that night! Thank you for my life!!!!!”
His message of gratitude came the same day a woman who claims to have been his former makeup and hair stylist filed a complaint in a California state court accusing Brooks of raping her in a hotel suite during a 2019 work trip.
In the lawsuit, the accuser, anonymously identified as “Jane Roe,” also alleged that Brooks repeatedly groped her , made sexually explicit comments, exposed himself to her on many occasions and told her about his sexual fantasies while she worked for him throughout 2019.
