Jimmie Allen Countersues Rape & Sexual Misconduct Accusers

Mainstream country music artist Jimmie Allen officially filed countersuits in the United States District Court of Tennessee on Thursday (7-13) against two separate accusers of rape and sexual misconduct represented by Attorney Elizabeth Fagan.
On May 11th, Jimmie Allen’s former day-to-day manger filed suit in Tennessee and accused the singer of scores of incidents where she was allegedly raped and sexually assaulted over multiple months, including during trips to prominent television appearances and other events. This included one incident where she woke up naked in a hotel room in severe pain, bleeding vaginally, and not being able to recall anything from the previous evening. Jimmie Allen was beside her in bed, and insisting she take a morning after pill. The victim says this is how she lost her virginity.
Further incidents were also chronicled in a detailed article in Variety, including an incident where the alleged victim sought medical treatment at a hospital, and says Jimmie Allen took video and nude photos of her to coerce her silence, and to use as blackmail against her. For Jimmie Allen’s part, he acknowledged a sexual relationship with the victim, but claims it was consensual. Allen was married at the time, but announced his separation from his wife shortly before the allegations came to light.
Then on June 9th, a second lawsuit was brought against Allen by another alleged victim claiming battery, assault, and invasion of privacy. The second victim claimed that she met Jimmie Allen on a flight. Afterwards, Allen’s bodyguard followed her into the airport and told her that Allen wanted her phone number, which she provided. After months of calls and text messages, they agreed to meet in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in July of 2022. She voluntarily met Allen in the bedroom, but allegedly told him she was not on birth control and repeatedly said she did not want him to ejaculate inside of her.
According to the alleged victim, Jimmie Allen said he wanted to get her pregnant, and ultimately did ejaculate inside of her despite her requests. Distressed by the incident, the alleged victim became desperate to get a separate hotel room and to find a morning after pill. As she was gathering her belongings to leave the room, she discovered a cell phone set up in a closet focused on the bed and recording their interaction. While Jimmie Allen was passed out, Jane Doe 2 took the phone with her, booked a new flight to her home in Sacramento, California, and gave the phone over to the local police when she arrived.
Jimmie Allen’s countersuit specifically addresses the taking of the phone as theft, saying “By taking his camera phone without permission, Jane Doe 2 wrongfully exerted a distinct act of dominion over Allen’s personal property.” The countersuit also claims that Jane Doe 2 consented to being recorded. The countersuit also provides verification that Jimmie Allen did have a second extramarital interaction, that a cell phone recorded the interaction, and that Jane Doe 2 is in possession of it.
As far as the accusations from Jane Doe 1, the Jimmie Allen countersuit focuses mostly upon the article in Variety as opposed to the details of the original lawsuit itself. “Throughout the Variety article, Jane Doe made several untruthful statements which painted Allen and Doe’s consensual affair as nonconsensual sexual misconduct,” Jimmie Allen’s lawyers tell Billboard. “Allen’s reputation and relationships within the entertainment industry have also been severely damaged as a result Jane Doe’s statements in the Variety article.”
Variety is not named as a specific defendant in the Jimmie Allen countersuit.
Jimmie Allen also said in a statement to Billboard:
“As the son and brother of rape victims, and the father of daughters, these false claims are extremely hurtful to me and everyone around me. These false allegations have caused me to lose a vast number of business and endorsement opportunities that I worked extremely hard for. These false allegations have also not only harmed me, but have caused severe financial damage to my band, my team, and their families.”
The lawsuits and countersuits will now work their way through the United States District Court of Tennessee docket. More details when they come available.

Trig, you should just close the comments section right now.
July 13, 2023 @ 11:44 am
Hell no. That’s what we’re here to see!
July 13, 2023 @ 11:24 am
Good for him.

The plot thickens.

believe all women vs cannot speak ill of BIPOC vs meeeeetoo vs BLM
this is going to be some kind of progressive thunderdome
i will not be happy until maren morris, margo price, amanda shires and Brandi Carlile have weighed in. correct me if i am wrong but they have all been suspiciously quiet in this case.
July 13, 2023 @ 5:23 pm
Heh, yeah its not that suspicious…liberals have the old saying “the personal is political”…i don’t know if its always been this way or its changed, but now at least it might as well just be “the political is political”.
July 13, 2023 @ 9:08 pm
“progressive thunderdome” This made me laugh out loud. It’s so true. It definitely turned the victimhood pyramid inside-out.
July 13, 2023 @ 12:26 pm
I don’t think Allen is going to get “his reputation” back even if these accusers cannot prove their cases and the question of whether or not there was consent remains murky. Even by his own lights, he comes off as a sleaze.
But I can understand why he’s countersuing. If he’s going to have to be in litigation, and giving and taking depositions, anyway, then he might as well play offense, as well as defense (and force the women to play defense).
July 13, 2023 @ 12:46 pm
You’re right, Jimmie Allen absolutely had to countersue, and the only question is why it took so long. I think the answer is in the details of the countersuits. According to the reporting, Allen isn’t taking issue with Jane Doe 1’s lawsuit claims as much as her claims made in the Variety article. That’s a big tell. And by taking out the second countersuit, he’s basically admitting to many of the claims of Jane Doe #2. And by focusing his ire on the phone that very likely has video evidence that he indeed engaged in the behavior he’s being sued for, it’s likely Allen’s team knows they have smoking gun evidence they need to try and get thrown out.
Allen never publicly apologized or addressed the accusations of Jane Doe 2. The countersuit basically admits they’re true, only that the interaction was 100% consensual.
July 13, 2023 @ 2:19 pm
Musically, I don’t care if I ever hear from Jimmie Allen again, at least judging by his career so far. I just hope the truth comes out and the whole thing is adjudicated correctly and conclusively. Of course, this is America (and its legal system) in 2023, so I’m probably dreaming rather than hoping.
July 13, 2023 @ 5:27 pm
Nope. The allegations didn’t cause all his lost business and reputation damage. His poor choices did.
July 14, 2023 @ 12:37 am
Just like a certain actor whose example he appears to be following. This move makes Allen look vindictive, not innocent.
July 13, 2023 @ 5:29 pm
So he is acknowledging he was recording the second “assault” – interesting move.
July 13, 2023 @ 8:29 pm
Well, if Jimmie’s phone has a video of the encounter, then he really only has two choices, as far as defending himself:
(1) Acknowledge that he recorded the encounter, and say that it was with the woman’s consent; or
(2) say that the woman took HIS phone without his knowledge and set it to record the encounter without HIS consent.
I think he’s made the only sensible choice, as option (2) is kind of ridiculous.
July 13, 2023 @ 8:21 pm
Thank you all for maintaining a respectful, not-at-all racist comment section. It really means a lot to me. My grandmother died five years ago and I finally worked up the courage that she wouldn’t smite me because I confessed I was raped by a Filipino.
July 13, 2023 @ 9:13 pm
The whole story sounds like a convoluted mix of a Country star treating some women as sexually disposable because of his fame, and some sexually active women playing the role of ‘sexually chaste protestant girl’ because of the potential cash payout.
To quote a Bill Burr joke I heard at the Ryman that got the biggest laugh: “There is no such thing as me-too in the South, it’s “What were you doing there?”
July 13, 2023 @ 9:50 pm
Everybody got to go to sleep eventually. Whether you sober or drunk or blacked out or what. Straight men don’t think about such things.
July 13, 2023 @ 10:44 pm
You will make a coherent point eventually. Keep trying. I’m sure someone believes in you.
July 13, 2023 @ 11:56 pm
Maybe I’m a bit off on a tangent but what’s not coherent about it? I’m a gay man. I’ve lived in places where I wish I had better doors on my doors. Men can be rapey.
July 14, 2023 @ 12:03 am
And what the heck is a “sexually chaste protestant girl”? An inbred WASP?
July 14, 2023 @ 3:24 am

Using Occam’s Razor, I would guess a Christian girl saving herself for marriage.

Pro forma.
July 14, 2023 @ 6:54 am
Ok, Jimmy is a terrible husband. (Not the best music either.) I always give an eye roll to “ladies” who go into scenarios like this. Did you think you were asked to hang out with a married celebrity to play board games & eat pizza? Nah. Does that excuse him? No. Could the ladies declined,yes. All the trauma, lets go to court & get $$$$$$. I am magically healed.
July 15, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
Hello darlin’.
If a married man messes around with random women, how is he less to blame for the outcome, whatever that might be, than unmarried (i’m assuming) women who mess around with random men?
Look, one of my favorite country singers is Tammy Wynette so I am not exactly the most “woke” person when it comes to sex/relationships…and I do think that with more “liberal” attitudes towards sex/romance/what not, why would the women bear more of the onus than men?
July 14, 2023 @ 12:33 pm
“Distressed by the incident, the alleged victim became desperate to get a separate hotel room and to find a morning after pill.”
She didn’t think to use birth control of any sort?
Not ask him to use a condom?
Was irresponsible enough to open her legs for him, demanding that he better not come inside her?
Yeah, sure, Trig.
Whatever you say.
Keep talking.
Maybe you will actually succeed in convincing yourself that both of these “ladies” are true victims.
July 14, 2023 @ 12:52 pm
I’m not saying anything, I’m just reporting on what the alleged victim said.
She also says she has a phone that recorded the entire incident, Jimmie Allen ACKNOWLEDGED in the countersuit that the interaction happened and that it was recorded (only that she consented to it), and that she is in possession of the phone. You’re seething, unhinged, bleeding-eye hatred for anyone who would ever accuse anyone of rape has blinded you to the idea that I am just simply reporting on this issue, not rooting for the alleged victims or anyone else.
I will say though, if you think the announcement of these countersuits is a knife in the back of the alleged victims and a win for the Jimmie Allen team, you’re not paying attention. It was compulsory for Allen to take out a countersuit. The fact it took so long, and it de facto acknowledges certain key facts corroborating what the alleged victims say is very important.
July 14, 2023 @ 1:05 pm
“You’re seething, unhinged, bleeding-eye hatred for anyone who would ever accuse anyone of rape has blinded you to the idea that I am just simply reporting on this issue, not rooting for the alleged victims or anyone else.”
You need to be more responsible and more professional, in your replies.
It is your slinging of accusations that gets you in trouble on your own site.
“You’re seething, unhinged, bleeding-eye hatred …”
Wow.
Get back in the adult world of communication.
Let’s address an actual issue in this case.
Let’s address that all individuals involved should not have been in an intimate situation with the other.
There are no innocent victims here.
July 14, 2023 @ 1:47 pm
“It is your slinging of accusations that gets you in trouble on your own site.”
Trust me, I get in much more “trouble” for letting rape apologists speak unchecked.
July 14, 2023 @ 5:05 pm
I’m not sure which comments this is in reference to in prior articles. Sometimes forcing the correct legal definition (defined by the given State) of rape to be applied accurately in a situation makes one a rape apologist.
July 15, 2023 @ 8:59 pm
Kyle,
I don’t have an opinion on this story, but don’t you think it’s a bad look for you to bully one of your female readers, simply because she doesn’t agree with your perspective?
“Rape apologists”?
July 15, 2023 @ 10:29 pm
You, nor anyone else know the kind of comments I have had to moderate form Di Harris on this subject. It is so beyond the pale, I refuse to repeat it here. And even more crazy is her continued attempts to post stuff she know will be moderated, just hoping she can cut into these alleged victims with stuff 99% of people would never repeat in popular society.
July 16, 2023 @ 11:44 am
Kyle,
Respectfully, that seems like a good reason not to delete comments. Instead of posting the comments and letting your readers decide, you deleted the comments and called a female reader a “rape apologist”. You look like a bully.
July 14, 2023 @ 1:58 pm
“Trust me, I get in much more “trouble” for letting rape apologists speak unchecked.”
Not a rape apologist.
But, you already know that.
July 15, 2023 @ 7:26 pm
I’m a man (yes, gay). I don’t know if i’ve ever been raped, don’t really care. Cuz even if you just limit it to sexual assault, going all the way to “problematic”, “toxic male” crud…i’ve seen it all. Often unconscious. Dunno if it really matters if I was just sleeping or unconscious from too much alcohol or even blackout drunk…still happened regardless.
I freely admit these things while a lot of women wouldn’t because, well, most people don’t care what I do and neither much do I. So no shame.
As a country music fan, man, I must have cried at least three times while watching the CMHOF announcement for Dottie West. At least one of those was at work.
Whether you’re a limp tool who thinks George Strait is the best country vocalist alive or a guy who goes to bro country concerts to prey on girls with low self esteem or some guy who I can’t reply to who wants my mother to do something to Hitler (?) (*my mother is actually Catholic and thinks she’s jewish for some reason…Catholics always get blamed for not doing enough to stop Hitler when any educated person at least SHOULD know that the protestants are mostly to blame)…
With Dottie West in mind, I kindly ask Garth Brooks to bury some more bodies and hopefully clean up this comment section filth, at least going forward. Meanwhile I’ll light a candle (or at least a cigarette) for Dottie.
July 15, 2023 @ 7:54 pm
Agreed. Lots of horseshit out there these days. “She was too intoxicated to give her consent.” What the fuck does that mean? How is a man to navigate this den of vipers? I’ve seen some real horror stories.
July 15, 2023 @ 8:27 pm
I dunno, I feel like I’m too old for this…shouldn’t people have figured this out by the time they’re, say, 25?
July 16, 2023 @ 9:10 am
I don’t know but Ive always gone by my own thought of not wanting to be any women’s mistake, so my own rule was not to sleep with a drunk woman who I wasn’t 100% sure would sleep with me sober. I was never a super hunky Casanova, so I can’t say I was missing out on teams of women. And a couple of the one night stands I did turn down, I ended up hooking up with later on. I’ve seen too much drama with male friends who specifically go out to bars and parties looking for hookups. Not worth it to me. I don’t understand it at all when it comes to rich athletes and celebrities who probably wouldn’t have an issue hooking up anyway. Why on Earth would they force themselves on anyone.
July 16, 2023 @ 2:36 pm
Free love did a number on society.
The issue, RD, is that society seems unwilling to admit that women like sex as much as men and prefer to hold this childish view that they are angels of purity.
It is how you get parents refusing to accept that their little princess is sleeping her way through college with the football team. “But she was so cute at the age of five.”
July 17, 2023 @ 10:39 am
………”How is a man to navigate this den of vipers?”……..
By repenting and believing the Gospel. Proverbs has some excellent advice on the matter, as well.
July 17, 2023 @ 12:23 pm
The best part about Proverbs and Ecclesiastics is how Solomon wrote them after wasting his life in squandering and materialism.
July 18, 2023 @ 1:51 pm
“”How is a man to navigate this den of vipers?””
yea though i walk through the valley of darkness, it is hard to resist temptation because some of those vipers have got a great ass

Change the shade and it’s “MeToo” to the rafters.
Paint it black…and it’s crickets from the usual suspects.
Of course.
