Country music star Jimmie Allen is being accused of rape and repeated sexual abuse and harassment by his former manager.
Variety reports that in a lawsuit filed Thursday in Tennessee federal court, the ex-manager accuses Allen of subjecting her to a “torrential cycle” of abuse and harassment during an 18-month period between 2020 and 2022. Variety details in depth the unnamed woman’s story, including allegations that Allen raped her while choking her, even as she said “no” and tried to push him away during repeated sexual interactions.
During one trip to Los Angeles for Allen’s 2021 appearance on Ellen, he allegedly groped her breasts on the plane, pushed his erect penis against her body, and masturbated in front of her. In the car after the taping, she says he forced his fingers into her vagina.
