On October 15th, a Taste of Country video asked a shocking question. “Why is nobody in country music saying ANYTHING about Garth Brooks?”
US Weekly previously heard from an “exclusive” source. Allegedly, Garth’s second wife, Trisha Yearwood, and his three adult daughters have spoken out on the serious accusations Garth is facing of SA and battery. US Weekly’s source claimed that Trisha and the children from Garth’s first marriage to Sandy Mahl “are sticking by his side.”
Allegedly, the source “recently worked” with Garth. They said the accusations have “shocked” Music City because Garth “is known to be a very kind and nice man.”
The source told US Weekly that “everyone” around Garth thinks he’s “telling the truth.” They revealed that “this is out of character and something [Garth] would never do.”
The source also describes Garth as a “family man” who is “very down to earth.” They told US Weekly, “All Garth cares about is his family and his fans.”
Trisha Is Standing By Her Man
US Weekly also claimed to know the real truth about Garth and Trisha. On October 15th, the outlet answered the question, “What’s really going on with [Garth] and [Tricia] amid [the] scandal?”
According to US Weekly, Trisha “has made it clear she’s standing by her man.” They offered proof, mentioning an Instagram photo that Trisha posted on October 8th.
The photo shows Trisha and Garth singing together on stage in Las Vegas. Trisha simply captioned the photo, “Love One Another.”

US Weekly talked to an insider who revealed that Trisha “completely believes” in Garth. She thinks the “allegations are false.” Trisha is allegedly “supporting [Garth] 100 percent.”
Garth and Trisha are considered to be among country music’s “golden” couples. US Weekly reported that “the music giants are worth an estimated $400 million.”
Another US Weekly source claimed Garth’s scandal has been “really upsetting to Trisha.” The source said that Garth and Trisha are a “very tight-knit family” with his grown daughters. It’s “been devastating” to all of them.
Garth’s Daughter’s Believe He Is Innocent
US Weekly appears to be sympathetic to Garth and Trisha’s situation, but they did drop one bombshell about Trisha’s home in Nashville. The New York Post reported the same story, claiming that Trisha had “unloaded” her “extraordinary” home in Nashville only “one day before” the shocking lawsuit against Garth went public.
According to the Post, Trisha sold her “Tennessee mansion” for “about a million [dollars] below” the original asking price. Trisha and Garth “sold the house for $3.334 million” after they’d listed it for $4.5 million in May 2023. Trisha bought the mansion “five years before” her third marriage to Garth in 2005.
US Weekly got into the rumor about why Trisha sold the house now. The outlet mentioned the “speculation” going around Nashville that Trisha sold her luxurious mansion well below the initial asking price because of Garth’s scandal. However, an “insider” allegedly set the record straight.
This insider told US Weekly that Trisha’s real estate sale “was not related” to Garth’s scandal. The insider agreed with other US Weekly sources that “[Trisha] and the girls hope the truth will prevail in court.” On October 5th, the Daily Mail reported that Garth’s daughters, Taylor, August, and Allie, all “trust he is innocent,” just like their stepmom, Trisha.
Garth has “staunchly denied the claims” against him. He’s publicly stated it’s an extortion attempt by his accuser to demand “many millions of dollars in hush money.”
Garth Alleges That He Is the Real Victim
People Magazine reported another side to this story on October 10th, and they claimed to have another “exclusive source.” The headline was definitely twisted, with the source alleging to People that “even people who don’t like [Garth] were shocked” by the horrendous accusations he’s facing.
People referred to their source as a “country music insider.” This insider said that Garth’s “ordeal has taken Nashville by surprise.”
It would be crazy to know these “people” in Nashville who allegedly “don’t like Garth.” People’s source didn’t drop any bombshell names.
However, People Magazine did speak to another exclusive “music industry source.” They described the fallout in Music City after CNN broke the news about Garth on Thursday, October 3rd.
The source described Garth and Trisha as “the king and queen of Nashville” and added that Garth “literally” calls Trisha “the queen.” They talked about the “billboards all over town,” which are high-profile promotional marketing for Garth’s bar, “Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk.” The source claimed that Garth “is popular in the community.”
Daily Mail reported that Garth “filed a preemptive lawsuit” against his SA accuser in September 2024. Garth alleged he is the real victim, and his lawsuit will attempt to set the record straight. Garth claims his accuser is an “extorter who threatened to ruin his reputation” if Garth didn’t agree to her “multi-million-dollar payday.”
Daily Mail said they “exclusively obtained” a copy of Garth’s lawsuit. The back-and-forth between him and his alleged “extorter” was apparently getting twisted.
Garth filed his lawsuit “anonymously” in a Mississippi federal court. It was Garth’s response to an alleged “demand letter” he’d received from his accuser’s attorney.
Daily Mail claimed that Garth was “aware” that his accuser “was gearing up to make a civil claim” against him in California. They added that Garth’s complaint told a “very different” side of the story.
Garth’s Accuser Was Previously an Employee
While the accuser, known as “Jane Roe,” accused Garth of committing intimate violence against her “on a work trip to Los Angeles in 2019,” Garth alleged it was all a “money grab.” Garth claims that Jane Roe only sued him because he “declined to give her a salaried job with medical benefits.” Daily Mail confirmed that Jane Roe “worked for [Garth] as an independent contractor for roughly 15 years.”
During her work relationship with Garth, Jane Roe moved to Mississippi and allegedly began encountering “financial difficulties.” Garth’s lawsuit claims that his accuser “asked [him] for financial assistance,” and you won’t believe what else he revealed.
Garth alleged in his lawsuit that he “complied” with Jane Roe’s pleas for financial assistance “out of loyalty, friendship, and a desire to improve [her] condition.” Then, the situation allegedly became a nightmare.
Garth claimed in his lawsuit that his accuser’s “demands for financial assistance only increased.” After Garth denied her request for “salaried employment and medical benefits,” Jane Roe allegedly hatched a “malicious scheme” for “hush money.”
In the Taste of Country video, Billy Dukes claimed that Garth’s “response” told people “everything.” Shockingly, Billy even speculated that Garth “dropped a clue” to his unsuspecting fans and followers that a terrible lawsuit was on the horizon.
Billy referred to Garth and Trisha’s recent interview on a Habitat for Humanity building site. They were wearing their construction helmets, and Garth lovingly called Trisha “one of the greatest singers on the planet.” Still, Garth seemed mysterious during this interview.
He claimed he didn’t know what he was going to do next. Garth added, “We’ll figure out what we’re going to do.” Shockingly, this interview was recorded on October 1st, only two days before Garth’s accuser dropped her bombshell lawsuit in a California court.
No One Is Speaking Up on the Case
Billy also had an opinion on why nobody else was “speaking up” for Garth. It must feel lonely not to get support, but shockingly, Billy thinks the real truth is clear.
While no one in Music City has come forward publicly to support Garth, Billy reminded us that no one has spoken out against him, either. Billy compared it to “crickets from the artist community,” believing there are “two reasons for that.” He mentioned the “exclusive” sources who’d talked to US Weekly and how these sources apparently “insisted on remaining anonymous.”
Then, Billy dropped his own bombshell. Billy claimed, “I don’t want to say that people are afraid of Garth,” but the truth is, Garth is “a really big deal,” and people don’t want to speak up either way “only to be proven wrong later.”

Next, Billy answered a shocking question. “Does Jane Roe have proof?” While it seems like Garth’s accuser is “light on evidence,” Billy explained that her lawyer, Douglas Widgor, represented “many victims in a case against Harvey Weinstein.” Billy added that Douglas doesn’t just take “cases on a whim.”
At the end of the video, Billy answered the most shocking question of all. If you’re wondering, “Are there other women?” Billy claimed that no additional women had made similar accusations about Garth. As Billy mentioned, other women came forward in the Harvey Weinstein case, but right now, Garth is only facing a single accuser.
