I think the firm she hired to present him with the offer to settle out of court to spare reputations, spoke volumes also. I dont think they anticipated him biting back.
Incidentally, he "bit back" by filing a lawsuit a month ago, as John Doe:
"Brooks filed a preemptive lawsuit in federal court in Mississippi last month, in which both him and the woman are anonymous.
In court filings in that case, the plaintiff, going by John Doe, says the allegations are “wholly untrue,” and he first learned of them in July when she threatened to publicly sue him unless he gave her millions of dollars.
He asked a judge to stop the woman from “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.”
“For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars,” Brooks’ statement said. “It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face.”
Brooks said he filed the case anonymously “for the sake of families on both sides.”"
A woman who says she worked as a hair-and-makeup artist for Garth Brooks alleges in a lawsuit that the country music star raped and sexually assaulted her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019.

The lawsuit appears not to have had the desired effect as Jane Doe's lawsuit was filed the following month and Brooks' name was not kept private.
