Garth Brooks fought back against a newly filed lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and battery during a livestream with his fans on Monday.
The 62-year-old country music icon addressed ‘the elephant in the room’ during TalkShopLive’s Inside Studio G chat, according to Taste Of Country.
‘A lot’s happened in the last two weeks,’ he said, alluding to the allegations leveled against him.
‘This thing is on, it’s gonna happen, and people are telling me it could be up to two years. OK?’ he continued, seemingly referring to the upcoming legal battle.
Brooks is accused by an anonymous ‘Jane Doe’ of raping her on a work trip, which he has previously denied in a statement.
