Brooks described the accusations as a shakedown for "millions of dollars" and confirmed he was behind a preemptive anonymous lawsuit filed in Mississippi federal court last month to block the allegations from going public.
"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 said in the statement.
"Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of - ugly acts no human should ever do to another."
"I want to play music tonight," he concluded, referring to the latest show in his Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. "I want to continue our good deeds going forward."
