‘Best Shot’ Singer Faces Sexual Assault Lawsuit Amidst Divorce Proceedings
In a distressing turn of events, the songwriter found himself confronted with a sexual assault lawsuit filed by a former member of his management team. The Blast detailed that the allegations came to light shortly after he and Gale officially filed for divorce.
The unnamed individual accused Allen of inflicting on them nearly two years of sexual abuse and harassment. This disheartening development emerged mere weeks after the licensed esthetician ceased following the country singer on social media, indicating a strain in their relationship.
The lawsuit revealed troubling allegations against the father-of-three, as he was accused of forcefully taking the virginity of a former manager, identified as Jane Doe, during a work trip to Los Angeles in March 2021.
According to the document, she woke up in her hotel room naked, experiencing vaginal bleeding and intense pain after a business dinner. She claimed to have no memory of what transpired. She further asserted that Allen urged her to take a Plan B pill to prevent pregnancy, indicating his awareness of the alleged incident. The plaintiff recalled:
“I was disconnected from my body, feeling a sense of panic. He held me in place. At that point, any physical will was just out the door. I was pretty much paralyzed.”
She additionally detailed a series of additional instances in which she claims the “Freedom Was a Highway” singer subjected her to sexual abuse. These disturbing accounts include allegations of repeated rape, groping, and recording of their sexual encounters.
In response to these claims, the Award-winning star firmly denied the allegations in a statement provided to PEOPLE asserting his innocence and maintaining his position against the accusations. He stated:
“It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues, and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever.”
Allen also revealed that the relationship in question had been consensual and that his accuser had made attempts to extort money from him following the end of their affair.
