Country Star Jimmie Allen Being Sued By Former Manager For Alleged Rape And Sexual Abuse
Jimmie Allen is a fairly big name in the country music world. He has released some legit hits, including Freedom Was a Highway and Best Shot. But it looks like his career in the music industry may be in jeopardy.
According to a shocking new lawsuit from his former business manager, Allen is a rapist and abuser.
The woman, who is suing as Jane Doe, claims Allen took her virginity when he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel room back in March 2021. She claims she went to dinner with Jimmie and industry executives after the ‘Idol’ taping and had a couple glasses of white wine and then lost consciousness … waking up naked in her hotel room several hours later, disoriented, confused, and bleeding from her vagina.
She then claims Allen insisted they go to a drug store to buy Plan B. After they bought the pills, she claims Allen watched as she took the medication and then forcibly grabbed her to kiss her goodbye while whispering, “You’re mine now.”
In the docs, the woman says Jimmie eventually ratcheted up the sexual harassment … grabbing her breasts and butt, shoving his hands down her pants in public, and ‘harassing her to engage in sexual conduct.’ She claims Jimmie also sexually abused her in cars, green rooms, airplanes … basically everywhere she was required to go with him as part of her job. She also says he ‘raped her in private while choking her’ and ‘videotaped multiple sexual encounters in order to blackmail her to stay silent.’
The woman also says that she tried to talk to her bosses about this, but they never actually investigated her claims and instead told her she’d be fire if she continued to complain.
By October 2022, the woman says she was depressed and anxious and contemplating suicide as a result of Jimmie’s alleged conduct … and she says she told her boss she couldn’t put up with Jimmie anymore and asked to be reassigned. Instead, she says she was placed on leave and ultimately fired.
Yikes. Not a good look for Allen.
Of course, he has his own version of events. He admits that he did have a sexual relationship with this woman, but he insists it was 100% consensual. He also says that she didn’t get a lawyer until after he ended things with her.
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.
We’ll have to see how this plays out in court, but if he’s found guilty… that’s pretty much the end of his career.
