This comes on the heels of Garth Brooks issuing a statement, responding to the lawsuit. There, he essentially dismisses the allegations as desperate attempts for more money. Moreover, he also counters with a lawsuit of his own. He argues that this whole saga acts as a form of defamation to his character. "For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face," Garth writes. "Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of - ugly acts no human should ever do to another.
Brooks concludes his response by emphasizing how he simply wishes to perform without worry. In addition, Garth says he trusts the judicial system to play out in his favor as this saga continues. "I want to play music tonight. I want to continue our good deeds doing forward. It breaks my heart these wonderful things are in question now," he states. "I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be."
