Insider Says Garth Brooks Feels Pressure To Perform Amid Allegations Of Sexual Assault Lawsuit

On By Littum

Garth Brooks is stuck for the long haul when it comes to fighting his disturbing sexual assault allegations. The courts are not likely to let him off that easily, regardless of his fame and all. Brooks maintains something of a standoffish character throughout the debacle. But reports suggest he’s either trying to drum up some goodwill or just trying to help pay the bills by potentially going back on stage.

Recently, a source on In Touch Weekly shared their behind-the-scenes scoop on Garth Brooks’ thinking amid his trial. It’s no secret that the country star finds all of this beneath him. Really, he’s just counting down the days until he’s released by the judge. “Garth continues to protest (that the allegations are) straightforward, but he’s been made to suffer. He can’t believe the judge ruled against him,” the insider says. “He has maintained from the start that it is a joke of a trial and he is determined to prove his innocence in the long run.”

That’s why Brooks feels he doesn’t have much time to rest while fighting in court. It is said that he feels an obligation to fans to remain in the public eye and perform for everyone. Whether it’s financial problems or trying to shake off any bad publicity, Garth feels he has to get out in front of it instead of retreating into the shadows. “His pain is not going away,” the insider adds. “On top of that, he feels pressured to perform for the fans. In an ideal world he would take a break, but he has to be professional and keep it together. It’s a lot to take in at once. He comes out on stage , and the next day he is in meetings with his lawyer. It has been a big blow for him.

In addition, Garth fears that regardless of the outcome, the case will stick with him. “Even if he wins the case, he must fear that the stigma will follow him for the rest of his life,” the source concludes.
