Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Center-Jimmie Allen and former manager agree to drop lawsuits following sexual assault claim

Jimmie Allen's former manager agreed to drop her lawsuit that accused the country singer of sexually assaulting her.
The Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Centerwoman, identified in filings under the pseudonym "Jane Doe," sued Allen in May 2023, alleging that he regularly sexually abused and harassed her while she was his day-to-day manager from 2020 to 2022. She also sued the artist management company that hired her, Wide Open Music, and its founder, Ash Bowers, accusing him of knowingly failing to protect her after learning about the alleged abuse.
In response, Allen countersued the woman in July 2023 over the lawsuit and ensuing media coverage, accusing her of defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

In a proposed order filed Thursday, both Allen and the woman agreed to drop the claims against the other. That won't be finalized until U.S. District Judge William Campbell enters an order of dismissal, which typically happens soon after both sides agree to drop a lawsuit.
In a March 1 status update, lawyers reported that the woman served a settlement demand on Allen's lawyers in late January, followed by a response and reply from both sides in February. At the time of that update, lawyers for Allen and the woman had discussed mediation but not yet set a date. Bowers and Wide Open Music, on the other hand, "do not believe that settlement negotiations will be fruitful" until the court rules on their motions to dismiss the woman's claims against them, the update stated.

The woman is not dropping her claims against Wide Open Music or Bowers.
In a statement provided in May through his attorney, Allen admitted he and the woman had a relationship but denied anything was nonconsensual. Bowers told The Tennessean in an email at the time that the lawsuit was the first he heard about Allen's alleged abuse and that Wide Open Music immediately terminated its relationship with Allen after the former manager made the allegations.
Less than a month after the first lawsuit was filed, a second woman sued Allen and accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Las Vegas hotel room and recording the encounter without her knowledge in July 2022. Allen then countersued the woman, saying she took his phone and gave it to police. Allen accused her of conversion, which is similar to theft but is a civil claim rather than a criminal one. That lawsuit is ongoing.
That lawsuit came shortly after Allen and his former wife Alexis Gale announced their separation. It marked a tumultuous period for the country singer, who in 2021 was named the Country Music Association's New Artist of the Year and the Academy of Country Music's New Male Artist of the Year.
Nearly immediately after the allegations were publicized, Allen's label BBR Music Group dropped him and United Talent Agency stopped representing him, while CMA Fest removed Allen from its June 2023 lineup.
