Rape-Accused Garth Brooks’ First Wife’s Shocking Account of His Serial Cheating Revealed — With Country Icon Admitting He Loved Being With ‘Up To 8 Women’ At Once

Garth Brooks’ turbulent past with infidelity has resurfaced, as the country music icon now faces serious allegations of rape. His first wife, Sandy Mahl, has come forward with shocking revelations about their marriage, alleging that Brooks was not only unfaithful but that he embraced a lifestyle of multiple affairs simultaneously.

Mahl alleges that Brooks would frequently disappear for days at a time, sometimes for five or six days, with various women. She described him as always being driven by a strong sexual ego, seeking new conquests to validate himself. In a moment of desperation, she once warned him that she was prepared to leave if his cheating did not stop, stating, “I told him my bags were packed, plane ticket’s bought and I’m gone.” This ultimatum reportedly prompted Brooks to briefly commit to fidelity, allowing them to extend their relationship by nine years, during which they welcomed three daughters into the world.

However, Brooks did not shy away from admitting that his infidelities somehow enriched their marriage. In statements made about his relationship with Mahl, he claimed that the woman he had after his chaotic escapades was significantly more vibrant and engaging. He shared, “The wife I got back after my infidelity was 15 times the woman I had.” He cautioned, though, that he wasn’t suggesting people solve marital issues through cheating but acknowledged, “that’s what happened to me.”

In his reflections on women, Brooks described them as unique and intriguing, stating, “You can be with seven or eight women and get seven or eight sides of what a woman is. Women are neat. They are enticing.” It is noteworthy that during the early years of his first marriage, he developed an attraction to his now-wife, Trisha Yearwood, admitting that he felt a connection akin to what one feels when first meeting a soulmate, despite being committed to another.

As their marriage unraveled, Mahl recounted how Brooks was often absent, spending extensive durations—sometimes up to ten weeks—on the road, filled with commitments like award shows and parties. Despite their separation in 2001, for which Mahl received a staggering $125 million settlement, Brooks asserts that he now shares a deeper appreciation for their past relationship, stating that his understanding evolved over time.

Currently, Brooks is on a precarious path as he faces serious allegations of sexual assault, stemming from a lawsuit filed by a makeup artist who claims an incident occurred in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019. Brooks vehemently denies these allegations, claiming they are a calculated attempt to extort him for financial gain.

As he navigates this challenging chapter, the echoes of his past continue to resonate, highlighting a complex narrative rich with both personal conflict and public scrutiny.
