Jimmy Allenher ex-manager abandoned her sexual abuse and harassment process against him after an out-of-court settlement.
According to court documents obtained by ET, the unnamed manager — identified only as “Jane Doe” — asked a Tennessee judge on March 14 to dismiss her claims against Allen, as well as counterclaims Allen, 38, filed a lawsuit against her.
The woman — who served as Allen’s day-to-day manager for 18 months — is still suing her employer, Wide Open Music, and Ash Bowers, the company’s founder. She claims her employer was negligent throughout her tenure with Allen.
Following the news of the filing of the case, ET reached out to Allen and his representatives. His reps told ET that the singer has “no comment” at this time.
The settlement comes nearly a year after the lawsuit was first filed in May 2023. At the time, Doe accused Allen of assaulting her, groping her breasts on a plane, pushing his erect penis against her body in public, masturbating- in front of her at a hotel they were both staying at and forcing his fingers into her vagina when she took him to events. Variety was the first to report the story.
When speaking with the outlet after the filing, Doe claimed that Bowers warned her about Allen’s alleged behavior during the hiring process (she was hired in April 2020), allegedly telling her that Allen “was known for pushing boundaries inappropriate sexual relations” and that the “promiscuous but harmless.”
“I didn’t think it meant predator,” Doe told the publication at the time. “I didn’t think that meant Jimmie would be a threat to me.”
Bowers previously denied the claim and said Variety that he was unaware of the “existence of a sexual or physical relationship” between Allen and Doe until she informed him of the situation in 2022.
Weeks after the first lawsuit was filed, Allen was sued by another woman, also unidentified, who accused Allen of assault and battery, claiming he filmed their sexual encounter in a Las Vegas hotel room without her consent. This process is still pending.
In July, Allen denied the allegations and filed charges against Doe and the second woman. The singer claimed that Doe was defaming him, while the other woman took her cell phone without her permission. Her lawyers argued that the former manager was guilty of making “deliberate, willful, malicious and willful” statements to Variety.
