News that “nice guy” Garth Brooks is accused in a lawsuit of brutally raping his longtime hair and makeup artist was “shocking” to some members of the tight-knit Nashville music scene, People reported. Until this week, the country music star and self-avowed wife guy’s biggest controversy was apparently his refusal to stream his music on Apple Music and Spotify. Brooks and his wife, singer Trisha Yearwood, “are the king and queen of Nashville—he literally refers to her as the queen,” a source told People.
