Country music superstar Garth Brooks has named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape in a lawsuit last week.
In an amended complaint filed in federal court in Mississippi on Tuesday, Brooks’ lawyers publicized the accuser’s name. And in another filing, they said that Brooks “is the victim of a shakedown” and that the woman “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case.

The woman’s attorneys, Douglas Wigdor, Jeanne Christensen and Hayley Baker, said in a statement that they “will be moving for maximum sanctions” against Brooks immediately.
“Garth Brooks just revealed his true self. Out of spite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim,” the woman’s attorneys said. “With no legal justification, Brooks outed her because he thinks the laws don’t apply to him.” (NBC News does not identify alleged rape victims against their wishes.)

Wait, is she a “rape victim” or an “alleged rape victim”, which is it, since she’s referred to as both in the post and the comments?

Well these are definitely the actions of a man who has done nothing wrong.

Damn, everyone is getting expose or accuse for being scummy

Sorry, perhaps this is a stupid question. But why is a rape accuser’s identity shielded but Garth Brooks’ is not? Shouldn’t both names be shielded until the trial concludes? If it comes out that Garth Brooks did nothing wrong, his reputation is still ruined in the public eye because he was accused of this. I’m genuinely asking a question here.
Men and women are both shitheads, and there’s a fair amount of times women falsely accuse men of rape.
