Country star Jimmie Allen says he’s the ‘victim’ after $1.8M judgment in sexual assault lawsuit

Country singer Jimmie Allen says he is the “victim” after a federal judge ordered him to pay nearly $1.8 million in a sexual assault lawsuit. He denies the allegations and says he intends to pursue further legal options, while acknowledging that he was unfaithful to his then-wife.

Two women sued Allen in 2023, alleging sexual assault; one also said he recorded an encounter without her permission. Allen denied both claims and filed counterclaims. He was found liable by default in August 2025, after missed deadlines and court orders, and a judge later ordered him to pay Jane Doe 2 $1,790,541 in compensatory and punitive damages. Allen says his former lawyer’s serious illness contributed to the missed deadlines.
