NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Beth Fegan, the attorney representing the two Jane Does involved in lawsuits against Jimmie Allen, has released a statement in response to the countersuits filed by Allen on Thursday.
The statement is as follows:
“We’ve reviewed the recent filings from Allen’s legal team and they’re what we’d expect – claims that all his encounters with Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 were consensual. We’re eager to show the court abundant evidence to the contrary, which we believe will prove that Jimmie Allen is a serial abuser and should be held accountable for his actions.
It is becoming increasingly common for perpetrators to countersue their victims, claiming defamation. This is a concerning trend, one designed to convince victims that if they speak out, they will be the target of spurious litigation.”
