In addition to sexual assault and battery, Roe claims that Brooks sent her sexually explicit text messages, repeatedly exposed his genital and buttocks to her and discussed his sexual fantasies in front of her. Roe described one alleged 2019 incident in which she claims Brooks walked out of the shower naked and “grabbed her hands and forced them” onto his genitals.

Roe further claimed that Brooks made “repeated remarks” about “having a threesome” with Yearwood, 60, whom Brooks wed in 2005.

“Defendant’s allegations are not true,” the filing claimed. “Defendant is well aware, however, of the substantial, irreparable damage such false allegations would do to Plaintiff’s well-earned reputation as a decent and caring person, along with the unavoidable damage to his family and the irreparable damage to his career and livelihood that would result if she made good on her threat to ‘publicly file’ her fabricated lawsuit.”
