Allen is currently being sued for sexual assault by two accusers
One of the two women who’s suing Jimmie Allen over claims of sexual assault has filed a motion to dismiss the countersuit by the singer.
In May, Allen was sued by a member of his former day-to-day management team for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, sex trafficking and emotional distress. The unnamed woman, who is suing under the moniker of Jane Doe, alleges that she was manipulated and groomed by Allen into a sexually abusive relationship that happened during an 18 month period from 2000-2022.
Allen acknowledged the affair and publicly apologized to his wife Alexis Gale after it was announced the pair were separating after nearly three years of marriage. They also shared that a new baby is on the way.
In June, Jane Doe 2 filed suit where she alleges the pair were involved in a long-distance conversation for two months before meeting in Las Vegas where she claims the assault occurred and was filmed sexually without her knowledge. The alleged victim took his phone as she left the hotel room, flew home and turned it into police for evidence.
Last month, the once rising country star responded with a countersuit, denying all allegations and claiming one of the women defamed him in an interview while the other illegally took his cell phone without his permission.
People has obtained documents filed by Jane Doe 2 in a Tennessee court on Tuesday (Aug 1st) that Allen does not have the legal claim to sue her because she did not legally steal the phone. The documents claim that the victim “taking disputed property for the purpose of turning it over to the courts or law enforcement for investigation or adjudication is not theft.”
Lawyers for Jane Doe 2 also claim that, “Allowing a perpetrator to sue a crime victim who turns evidence over to the police for conversion would violate the Nevada Constitution and public policy.” She claims that Allen filing a countersuit is retaliation and an “attempt to harass and intimidate her.”
Allen’s lawyers tell People they plan to vindicate the singer.
“We will leave it to the court to determine if taking something without permission is conversion (or stealing)—a lesson that most of us learned when we were young,” their statement reads. “The facts here don’t support what Jane Doe 2 is claiming, and we look forward to the legal process moving forward and clearing Jimmie’s name.”
Attorney Beth Fegan, representing both accusers, tells People that Allen’s countersuits are “what we’d expect” and that he would claim that “all his encounters with Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 were consensual.”
A spokesman for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirms a report was filed for the alleged crime, although no further details about the investigation were revealed.
Following the claims, Allen was dropped by his record deal, agency and publicity firm. He recently announced a three-night comedy tour for October, although dates and venues to the invite-only shows have yet to be revealed.
