Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is facing serious allegations of sexual assault made by former model Sheila Kennedy in a lawsuit filed recently. However, Rose vehemently denies the accusations and his attorney Alan Gutman issued a statement stating that the incident in question never occurred. The timing of the lawsuit, just before the New York State deadline for filing under the Adult Survivors Act, has raised eyebrows.
The lawsuit, filed by Kennedy on November 22, claims that Rose sexually assaulted her in his hotel room after they met at a New York nightclub. She is seeking unspecified damages for the alleged incident. In response, Rose’s attorney emphasized that Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to Kennedy and is confident that the case will be resolved in his favor.
Dr. Ann Olivarius of McAllister Olivarius Law, representing Kennedy, issued a statement expressing hope that Kennedy’s courage in coming forward will spark a change in the music industry. The statement highlights the prevalence of violence and sexual misconduct within the industry and the need to address a culture of covering up such behavior.
The allegations against Axl Rose have brought to light larger issues within the music industry regarding the treatment of sexual abuse survivors and the accountability of artists. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for how the industry as a whole addresses such cases in the future.
