Country Star Jimmie Allen’s Former Manager Drops Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Him
Country Star Jimmie Allen’s Former Manager Drops Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Him
Update (March 11, 2024): Jimmie Allen’s former manager has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against him, according to multiple reports.
Court documents reveal that the woman requested for the case to be dismissed in Tennessee on March 14 after the two reached a settlement. The plaintiff, named in the filing as Jane Doe, also wants Jimmie Allen’s counterclaims to be tossed out.
She is still suing Wide Open Music and its founder Ash Bowers, accusing them of negligence during her 18 months working with the 38-year-old country star.
Original Story (May 11, 2023): Musician Jimmie Allen is facing some serious accusations.
Jimmie Allen was reportedly named in a lawsuit filed by his former manager/business partner who is accusing the country singer of raping and continuously sexually assaulting her.
Reportedly the woman, who is going by Jane Doe, says she was hired right out of college to be Jimmie Allen’s day-to-day manager. The 37-year-old entertainer allegedly took the woman’s virginity, raping her in a hotel room back in 2021 and continuing to force her into more sexual acts while she worked for him. Jane Doe reportedly details the incident in court documents, claiming to have gone out with Jimmie Allen and others one evening before falling unconscious. The woman says she had a glass of wine and woke up several hours later disoriented and bleeding from her vagina in a hotel room. The legal doc reportedly reads:
“She realized she had lost her virginity through no choice of her own and felt she had betrayed her faith.”
The woman went on to claim she was then forced to take a plan B with Allen allegedly telling her “you’re mine now.”
Allegedly, the sexual abuse continued nearly everywhere Jane Doe was required to go with him, including green rooms, cars, and airplanes. The woman says Allen then began touching her private areas in public and “videotaped multiple sexual encounters in order to blackmail her to stay silent.” Reportedly, Jane Doe feared being fired like Allen’s previous manager and stayed quiet for a while. Upon bringing the situation to her bosses, however, Jane Doe says she was placed on leave and ultimately fired.
Since the lawsuit went public Allen has responded. The music artist slammed the accusations as false, claiming the relationship was consensual. He reportedly released a statement that says:
“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. I acknowledge that we had a sexual relationship — one that lasted for nearly two years. During that time she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely.”
And continues:
“Only after things ended between us, did she hire a lawyer to reach out and ask for money, which leads me to question her motives. The simple fact is, her accusations are not only false, but also extremely damaging. I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation.”
The lawsuit news comes just a couple of weeks after Allen announced he and his wife Alexis Gale were splitting after nearly three years of marriage. In the divorce announcement, Allen wrote:
“After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex & I have made the decision to separate..we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year…Out number one priority is and always will be ensuring that our children are healthy, happy and loved…we respectfully request privacy during this time.”
The ex-couple shares two other children together. Other than the released statement and a recent repost of Fred Hammond’s “No Weapon,” Allen does not seem to have said anything further about the assault allegations at this time.
