According to a federal lawsuit filed on Thursday, a woman accused country music singer Jimmie Allen of sexual assault and harassment while she served as his manager for two years.

According to the Tennessee complaint database, the 25-year-old claimed to have received a college diploma with honors and was hired as day-to-day manager for Allen by management company Wide Open Music.

Allen’s record company has suspended him, and he won’t be performing at the CMA Fest in a month. “In light of [the] allegations against Jimmie Allen, BBR Music Group has decided to suspend all activity with him, effective immediately,” said a statement sent out to media outlets on Thursday.

While the woman worked for his management company for 18 months, she claims the “Make Me Want To” musician sexually assaulted and harassed her. Moreover, the company allegedly knew Allen was a threat to female subordinates and didn’t “protect her from, the extreme sexual harassment, abuse, grooming, and manipulation she would endure in order to keep her job,” the lawsuit claims.

Allen’s former manager filed the federal suit as “Jane Doe” on Thursday in Tennessee. Allen, 37, is charged with mental distress, sex trafficking, false imprisonment, sexual battery, and assault.

Allen asserts that their sexual connection was consensual. “It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues, and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever,” he said in a statement to Page Six. “I acknowledge that we had a sexual relationship, one that lasted for nearly two years.”

The statement continued: “During that time she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely. Only after things ended between us, did she hire a lawyer to reach out and ask for money, which leads me to question her motives.”

The singer concluded, “The simple fact is, her accusations are not only false but also extremely damaging. I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation.”
