Brooks bought the 6,553-square-foot home in 2000, five years before marrying Yearwood in 2005. The estate, sitting on 4.42 acres, boasts luxury amenities, including two gated entrances, a high-end kitchen with Wolf appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a six-burner cooktop.
The sale of the house coincided with serious allegations against Brooks. On October 3, Brooks’ former hairstylist and makeup artist, referred to as "Jane Roe" in the lawsuit, accused him of sexual assault and rape in 2019. The lawsuit details claims that Brooks exposed himself to her, made inappropriate comments, and sent her sexually explicit messages. Roe alleges Brooks often changed clothes in front of her, crossing professional boundaries.
Brooks’ legal team had filed a preemptive lawsuit against Roe, calling her allegations false and accusing her of extortion. In a statement, Brooks said they filed the suit to combat defamation and protect both families involved. His lawyers have denied most of the accusations.
