*Jimmie Allen, who was accused of sexual assault by his former manager in May, announced via Instagram last month that he will embark on a three-date comedy tour this fall, however, the post has since been removed.
The country star revealed on the now-deleted July 28 post that the outing, titled “I Said What I Said Tour,” would be invite-only and requested that his fans sign up via email to learn how to win tickets.
“‘I Said What I Said,’ and I’m gonna say it again during my 3-night comedy tour coming this October,” he wrote in the now deleted IG post, alongside a poster for the tour. “ALL shows are invite only, so be sure signup with your e-mail via link in bio to receive the latest news & how to win tix??”
In May, Allen’s former manager filed a civil suit in Tennessee federal court claiming that he raped and sexually harassed her while she was a member of his management team. Allen responded to the allegation, saying he had a sexual relationship with the accuser but denied the rape and sexual assault allegations, adding that they “have no truth to them whatsoever.”
In June, another lawsuit was filed against Allen by an unnamed accuser who claimed he assaulted her in a Las Vegas hotel room and filmed the encounter without permission.
Allen has countersued both accusers, claiming that his former manager defamed him, while the second accuser illegally took his cell phone.
“As the son and brother of rape victims, and the father of daughters, these false claims are extremely hurtful to me and everyone around me,” said Allen in a recent statement. “These false allegations have caused me to lose a vast number of business and endorsement opportunities that I worked extremely hard for.”
He continued, “These false allegations have also not only harmed me, but have caused severe financial damage to my band, my team, and their families.”
