Allie Colleen has shared a statement asking the industry to separate her music from that of her father's. This statement comes amid the legal allegations being faced by country singer Garth Brooks.
In an episode of the Bobbycast podcast, Colleen, a country singer herself who recently released her debut album STONES, was clear about separating herself from her father and carving out a legacy on her own.
She said:
"I'm just asking, more so the industry, to help me out, to not put me in that box...I'm not gonna fit in that box. They're not gonna like me in there."
She added:
“So it’s just always been really tough when it’s like Garth Brooks' daughter Allie Colleen doing this this this. Now, all of a sudden, everyone thinks Friends in Low Places is gonna be in my set, and it’s not."
Bobby Bones, the host, seemed to understand her perspective:
“I never thought about that. The expectation they would have of you to play your dad’s songs. No way!”
Garth Brooks’ allegations explored as daughter separates herself from her father's musical legacy
A lawsuit filed on October 3, 2024, by a former hairstylist and makeup artist of Garth Brooks accuses the country music star of raping her in May 2019, exposing himself and conversing about sex in her presence. The alleged victim also claimed that the Grammy-award-winning artist would send her sexually explicit messages.
The claimant, who is identified as “Jane Roe” in the court documents, also alleged that in 2019, the Friends in Low Places hitmaker forced her to touch his privates after he had taken a shower. Roe also recounted another incident where the country music star was full-on naked in a Los Angeles hotel room, which made her feel “trapped.”
Garth Brooks addressed the allegations in a statement shared with Parade Magazine:
"For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face. Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of—ugly acts no human should ever do to another."

In the lengthy statement, Brooks added that he had sued Jane Roe for defamation of character and extortion. The country music star concluded his statement by emphasizing that he wasn’t the person they claimed he was.
