On May 17, Grammy-nominated country music singer Jimmie Allen posted “this too shall pass” on Instagram. While he didn’t explain why he shared those words, it seems logical that he was referring to a lawsuit that was filed by his former day-to-day manager accusing him of sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, sex trafficking and emotional distress. From the sound of it, many are not giving Jimmie a pass, despite his hopes.
Jimmie’s professional problems began on May 11 after the woman, who filed under the name Jane Doe, detailed several alleged assaults and groping incidents — including some she says took place in cars and hotel rooms, often when she and Jimmie were alone and traveling on work trips — that happened between 2020 and 2022, a time during which Jimmie was married. The “Best Shot” singer admitted to a two-year affair but claimed everything was consensual. Still, in the immediate aftermath of the allegations, many companies and organizations linked to Jimmie began keeping their distance.
