Answered by Jimmie Allen

In response to Variety, the singer denied the rape allegations. “It is deeply disturbing and heartbreaking for someone I considered one of my closest friends and confidants to make false allegations,” Allen said. “I admit we had a sexual relationship — which lasted nearly two years. During that time he never accused me of any wrongdoing and spoke of our relationship and friendship as something he wanted to continue indefinitely. Only after things ended between of us hired a lawyer to ask for money, which makes me question his motives. The simple fact is that his allegations are not only false, but also extremely damaging. I have worked very hard to build my career and intend to mount a vigorous defense and take legal action necessary to protect my reputation.”

Following the allegations against the singer, he was removed from this year’s CMAFest performance schedule. A Country Music Association confirmed his removal from the lineup for the Rolling stone.
