Last month, Allen’s former manager sued the singer for sexually assaulting and harassing her for a period of 18 months when she served as his day-to-day manager. The woman filed her case under the name of “Jane Doe” and accused Allen of raping her during a work trip to Los Angeles in March 2021. The singer later admitted that he had a nearly two-year “sexual relationship” with his former manager but strongly denied the accusations of sexual misconduct.
