Jimmie Allen is maintaining his innocence and insisting he is the "victim" after a federal judge ordered the country star to pay nearly $1.8 million to a woman who accused him of sexual assault.The 41-year-old singer faced two separate civil sexual assault and abuse lawsuits from two women in 2023.During an interview with Fox News Digital, Allen spoke candidly about the allegations that derailed his career, maintaining that his sexual encounters with both women who sued him were consensual while acknowledging that he was unfaithful to his then-wife, Alexis Gale.When asked what he would say to his accusers today, Allen said he has forgiven both women but admitted that he struggled with being unable to publicly defend himself without being accused of blaming alleged victims.JIMMIE ALLEN PUBLICLY APOLOGIZES TO ESTRANGED WIFE FOR ‘HUMILIATING HER’ WITH ‘AFFAIR’ AFTER SEX ABUSE LAWSUIT"I wanted to just get on social media and call them liars and things like that," Allen said.
