Trisha Yearwood has sold the Tennessee mansion she and husband Garth Brooks share a day before the former hair and makeup artist sued him for rape and sexual assault.
According to the listing, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 6,553-square-foot Brentwood, Tenn., home the couple shared sold for $3.334 million on Tuesday, Oct. 2 — the day before the allegations against Brooks were made public.

The 4.42-acre property is listed in May 2023 for $4.5 million. It was previously put up for sale in 2014.

Roe also alleges that Brooks’ legal team learned of her plans to sue, prompting him to file a preemptive lawsuit as a “John Doe” on Friday, Sept. 13, alleging that Roe “was a lying extortionist intent on destroying his professional reputation. ”

While Yearwood, his wife of nearly 20 years, has yet to speak out about the allegations, Brooks told PEOPLE in a statement that “for the past two months I have been bombarded with threats, lies and tragic stories about what my future would be like if I I didn’t write a multi-million dollar check.
“It was like waving a loaded gun in my face,” his testimony continued. “Hush money, no matter how much or how little it is, is still hush money. In my opinion, that means I’m admitting to behavior I’m not capable of – ugly acts that no man should do to another. We’ve filed charges against that person almost a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation, we filed it anonymously for the benefit of the families on both sides.”
“I want to play music tonight. I want to continue our good works and beyond. It breaks my heart these wonderful things that are at stake now,” he said. “I trust the system, I’m not afraid of the truth and I’m not the man they portrayed me to be.”If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or go to rainn.org.
