Jimmie Allen Sexual Assault — A lawsuit has been filed against Jimmie Allen by his former manager accusing him of sexual abuse and assault. The plaintiff, referred to as “Jane Doe,” alleges that the musician sexually assaulted and harassed her for a period of 18 months while she was employed at his management firm. The lawsuit was filed in Tennessee on Thursday.
According to the complaint, the alleged assault took place during a business trip to Los Angeles in March 2021 when Allen was a guest judge on the television show “American Idol.” The plaintiff claims that she consumed a few glasses of white wine during a business dinner with Allen and other industry executives, after which she blacked out.
The woman claims that she woke up several hours later in her hotel room naked, with Allen allegedly next to her, and he urged her to take emergency contraceptive pills. She alleges that she was bleeding and realized that she had lost her virginity without her consent.
Jimmie Allen Sexual Assault & Abuse
Jane Doe claims Allen, “s*xually ab*sed her at red lights, in green rooms, on airplanes, and in other places she was required to be to support him at events.”
According to the court documents, the musician “r*ped her in private while choking her” and “videotaped multiple s*xual encounters in order to blackmail her to stay silent.”
She also said Variety, which broke the story first, that he “forced his fingers into her v@gina while she tried to y@nk his hand away” shortly after they left the “Ellen DeGeneres” show and got into a car in May 2021.
“I was disconnected from my body, feeling a sense of panic,” she told the site, adding that she was “paralyzed” while Allen “held me in place.”

In a response to Page Six, Allen disputed all of his former manager’s charges, stating the couple had a years-long consens*al relationship.
“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,” Allen explained.
“I admit that we had a s*xual relationship that lasted nearly two years.”
“During that time she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely. 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,” the “Best Shot” singer added. “I’ve worked extremely hard to develop my career, and I intend to vigorously defend myself against her allegations and take any further legal action required to safeguard my reputation.”
Jane Doe has filed a s*xual battery, @ssault, false imprisonment, s*x trafficking, and emotional distress claim against Allen. She is also suing Wide Open Music and its founder, Ash Bowers, for, among other things, participating in a s*x trafficking business and gross negligence.
Jane Doe claims that she and another person denounced Allen’s “inappropriate behavior” to Bowers and Wide Open Music, expressing how “uncomfortable working with” the singer was.
Bowers, on the other hand, is accused of normalizing Allen’s s*xual harassment and firing her in revenge. Bowers told in a separate statement that he did not fire Jane Doe in retribution and that she was let go after the label severed relations with Allen.

“[Jane Doe] was the day-to-day manager for Mr. Allen,” Bowers explained. “Once Wide Open Music no longer managed Mr. Allen, that role was gone and, furthermore, [the company] has transitioned out of artist management completely.”
The complaint was filed three weeks after Allen and his wife, Alexis Gale, announced their divorce after nearly three years of marriage.
“After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex & I have made the decision to separate,” Allen posted on Instagram on April 21, before revealing that Gale was pregnant with their third child.
“As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year.”
According to the “Down Home” singer, their “number one priority is and always will be ensuring that [their] children are healthy, happy and loved.”
Allen and the nurse have two kids, Naomi, three and Zara, one. He is also the father to Aadyn, an 8-year-old boy from a prior relationship.
