In May 2023, Jimmie’s former manager filed a lawsuit under the pseudonym Jane Doe that alleged Jimmie sexually assaulted her over a period of 18 months. In documents obtained by E! News at the time, she alleges that in one instance he assaulted her “while she was incapacitated and incapable of giving consent” and stated “he sexually abused her at red lights, in green rooms, on airplanes, and in other places she was required to be to support him at events.”
At the time, Jimmie denied any wrongdoing, stating that their relationship had been consensual.
“It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever,” he said in a May 11 statement to E! News. “I acknowledge that we had a sexual relationship—one that lasted for nearly two years.”
“During that time,” he continued, “she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely.”
