Jimmie Allen’s former day-to-day manager filed a lawsuit yesterday claiming he raped her.<\/p>\n

She’s listed as “Jane Doe” in the lawsuit, but she’s in her 20s, graduated from Vanderbilt in 2019, and it was her first job out of college.<\/p>\n

She says that over the course of 18 months, he forced himself on her multiple times, including on two different trips to L.A.<\/p>\n

He’s not facing criminal charges right now, she’s just suing him.<\/p>\n

He put out a statement<\/a> admitting they had an affair but claims in a statement that it was consensual.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added the affair lasted almost two years and it was only after things ended that she, “hired a lawyer to reach out and ask for money.”<\/p>\n

Her lawyer claims that didn’t actually happen.<\/p>\n

They say they asked to, quote, “meet to discuss Allen’s behaviour and resolution of [their] client’s claims,” but they never specifically asked him to pay her off.<\/p>\n

She’s also suing her former employer, Wide Open Music, and its founder for supposedly firing her after she complained.<\/p>\n

“Variety” magazine<\/a> got access to hundreds of her texts with Jimmie and other people, and say the texts do “corroborate parts of her story.”<\/p>\n

His label, BBR Music Group, suspended him Thursday. In a statement they said,<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of today\u2019s allegations against Jimmie Allen, BBR Music Group has decided to suspend all activity with him, effective immediately.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jimmie announced last month that he and his wife Lex, who’s pregnant with their third kid, were separating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmie Allen’s former manager has accused him of rape in a lawsuit.
