Garth Brooks has claimed he is the "victim of a shakedown" and alleged his rape accuser wanted to "blackmail him for millions"

The 'Friends in Low Places' singer named his accuser in one of the documents and, having used the pseudonym John Doe himself, noted he would "re-file his complaint without pseudonyms" against Jane Rose because her attorneys "disclosed" his identity to the press.

He also claimed in documents obtained by People magazine that he was seeking to "defend himself against extortion", while the second complaint saw him request a jury trial to "obtain relief" from the woman he accused of "defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress".

Garth alleged the woman had "devised a malicious scheme to blackmail" him into paying her "millions of dollars" after he "rejected her request for salaried employment and medical benefits." He claimed she "threatened" had threatened to "publicly disclose false claims" about him in order to "imperil his business and reputation."

He claimed the woman had worked as an "independent contractor" for him for 15 years before relocating from Tennessee to Mississippi and she asked for, and received, assistance when she "encountered financial difficulties" following her move.

The 'River' hitmaker alleged that after denying a request for permanent employment, the woman "responded with false and outrageous allegations of sexual misconduct she claims occurred years ago."

He then received a "demand letter", which was also sent to others who he worked with, in July, which listed allegations including "grooming, unwanted sexual touching and sexual assault".

The complaint stated: "The July 17 demand letter was the first time Plaintiff learned of these allegations, none of which has any basis in fact."

According to Garth, the woman "threatened" to "publicly file her letter in a "draft civil complaint" unless he agreed to pay her "millions of dollars" and if he "failed to meet the demand", he would "face exposure of many millions of dollars 'based on [his] net worth.' "

As well as her request for a jury trial, the 'Dance' hitmaker requested a "declaratory judgement" from the court that the allegations of sexual misconduct are "untrue", as well as compensatory and punitive damages, along with legal fees.
