Country music star Garth Brooks is facing criticism for his recent performance at the Grand Ole Opry, where he sang a duet with wife Trisha Yearwood in honor of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Fans had mixed reactions to the performance, with many praising Yearwood’s vocals but others criticizing Brooks’ rendition.
The criticism comes after Brooks was accused of sexual assault and battery by a former hair and makeup artist in October 2024. The woman alleged that Brooks raped her in 2019, two years after she started working for him. Brooks denied the allegations, stating he was filing a countersuit against the accuser for extortion and defamation.
The backlash has led to some fans expressing disappointment with Brooks’ presence at the Opry performance. “I had to turn it off,” one fan tweeted. Others have called Brooks and Yearwood “the biggest frauds in country music.” Despite this, many fans have come to Yearwood’s defense, praising her vocals during the duet.
Brooks and Yearwood’s reputation has been marred by the allegations, but the couple has yet to make an official statement on the matter.
