Brooks and Yearwood have been married since 2005.
The day before Brooks was sued for rape, Yearwood sold the couple’s 6,553-square-foot mansion in Brentwood, Tennessee. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home went for $3.334 million, after initially being listed last year for $4.5 million.
Yearwood bought the house five years before she married Brooks.
On Oct. 3, a woman referred to as “Jane Roe,” who claims to have been Brooks’ hairstylist and makeup artist, accused him of rape and battery.
In the lawsuit, which was filed in a California court, the woman claimed Brooks raped her in a hotel room, where she was alone with and felt “trapped” by the singer.
The alleged incident took place in May 2019 when the pair had allegedly traveled alone in Brooks’ private jet to Los Angeles for a Grammys taping.
In addition to sexual assault and battery, Brooks is accused of repeatedly exposing his genitals and buttocks, talking about sex and sharing sexual fantasies with Roe, regularly changing his clothing in front of her and sending her sexually explicit text messages, according to the complaint in the case.
On Tuesday, the “Friends in Low Places” artist filed a complaint in a Mississippi court and sued his accuser for compensatory and punitive damages.
In court docs obtained by The Post, Brooks claimed that the woman tried blackmailing him “into paying her millions of dollars” before she filed the lawsuit.
He said in the complaint he wants “compensatory damages” caused by his accuser’s “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.”
“With no legal justification, Brooks outed her because he thinks the laws don’t apply to him. On behalf of our client, we will be moving for maximum sanctions against him immediately,” the statement added.
Brooks has denied the allegations against him.
