Country Singer Jimmie Allen Settles With Accuser in Sexual Assault Lawsuit
variety.comChris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Jimmie Allen is no longer the subject of a sexual assault lawsuit that was filed by one of his former managers last June, as the Jane Doe in question has now dropped the country singer from the suit as part of a settlement.
In a statement issued to Variety and other media, the woman’s attorneys at FeganScott confirmed that they have filed paperwork asking the U.S.
District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee to dismiss Allen from the claims in the lawsuit. They are not asking the court to take the suit off the books entirely, however, as the woman’s former bosses at the management firm that once handled Allen are still being sued. “FeganScott can confirm that Jane Doe and Jimmie Allen have reached a mutual accord as to Plaintiff’s claims and Mr.
Allen’s counterclaims and have agreed to dismiss them,” said the statement. “The decision reflects only that both parties desire to move past litigation.” FeganScott continued: “The plaintiff is continuing to pursue her claims against Williams Bowers Management d/b/a Wide Open Music, the Nashville music management firm that employed her as Allen’s day-to-day manager, for their role in the case, and one of its principals, Ash Bowers.” Allen’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
