Jimmie Allen Dropped By Record Label After Second Sexual-Assault Lawsuit
variety.comElizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent Jimmie Allen has been dropped byBBR Music Group, the label confirmed to Variety late Friday, after a second woman sued him for sexual assault. “BBR Music Group has dissolved its relationship with Jimmie Allen,” the brief statement reads. “He is no longer an active artist on its roster.” The country singer was previously put on suspension by label, as well as his agency and manager, in the wake of being sued by his former female manager for sexual assault and battery.
Allen denied the claims from his ex-manager that he raped and sexually abused her over the course of 18 months, calling the allegations “not only false, but also extremely damaging.” But less than one month after those first accusations, another woman came forward to accuse Allen in a new sexual assault lawsuit in which the second Jane Doe alleges the singer secretly filmed her during sex without her consent or awareness.
After that alleged incident, which occurred in July 2022, this woman filed a police report, according to her lawsuit. After the first lawsuit hit in May, Allen was suspended by BBR Music Group; his talent agency, UTA; and the management firm, The Familie, which he had been represented by since late last year.
He was immediately terminated by his publicity team at Full Coverage Communications when the allegations first surfaced in May, and since has been represented by attorney Andrew Brettler.
