AceShowbiz - Jimmie Allen is now off the hook in the sexual assault and rape lawsuit filed by his former manager. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, reportedly dismissed her complaint on Thursday, March 14 in the Middle Tennessee District Court.
"FeganScott can confirm that Jane Doe and Jimmie Allen have reached a mutual accord as to Plaintiff's claims and Mr. Allen's counterclaims and have agreed to dismiss them," a legal representative for the woman told PEOPLE. The decision reflects only that both parties desire to move past litigation."
Jane Doe initially filed her complaint in May 2023. She named Jimmie, his former management company, Wide Open Music, and its founder, Ash Bowers as defendants.
While Jimmie can now breathe a sigh of relief, Jane Doe still plans to sue Wide Open Music and Ash. She argued that they knew about Jimmie's alleged behavior, did nothing to protect her and fired her when she complained about it.
The first case might be dismissed, but there was another woman who has been suing Jimmie for allegedly filming her during sex. In court documents filed in June last year, Jane Doe No. 2 said she met Jimmie on a plane in 2022. At that time, she did not know who he was and he reportedly asked for her phone number.
The accuser and Jimmie had since been engaged in "daily" long-distance communication over the phone. At that time, the musician was still married to Alexis Gale but he told the woman that they had separated and wanted to marry her.
In July 2022, the woman and Jimmie had a trip to Las Vegas and that's when things turned south. She claimed Jimmie "sexually assaulted" her in his hotel room before passing out. Once she went to leave the room, she noticed that the crooner "surreptitiously and, without her consent, placed his cell phone in the closet facing the bed and had been videotaping the entire event."
Jane Doe No. 2 stated in her lawsuit that she was unable to wake Jimmie up to delete the alleged recording, so she took his phone and brought it to police. In her complaint, the woman said she's suffered "extreme emotional distress, including anxiety and depression," and has been unable to "trust" in the wake of the alleged incident. Thus she's suing Jimmie for assault, battery, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress.
