Country Star Jimmie Allen Accused of Rape, Sexual Abuse by Ex-Manager



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.

Allen, 37, also allegedly raped the same woman during a different work trip to Los Angeles in 2021 while he was appearing as a celebrity guest on American Idol. The woman—who is identified as “Jane Doe” in the lawsuit—says she woke up naked in her hotel bed in severe pain and memory fog, and that Allen was laying next to her and insisted she take a Plan B pill. Per Variety, “she realized she had lost her virginity through no choice of her own and felt she had betrayed her faith.”
