Shocking allegations: Axl Rose accused of ‘rage-filled’ 1989 sexual assault in lawsuit – find out the details!
Welcome to Music Nation 365, where we bring you the latest updates in the music industry. Today, we have a shocking story to share with you about a former model who has filed a lawsuit accusing Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose of violently sexually assaulting her in his Central Park West hotel room back in 1989. This lawsuit was shared in full by Rolling Stone, and it has definitely caught the attention of many in the music world.
In the lawsuit, former Penthouse model Sheila Kennedy recounts how she met Rose at a nightclub in New York when she was 26 years old. Rose then reportedly invited Kennedy to a party at his hotel room, where he provided guests with cocaine and alcohol before allegedly assaulting Kennedy.
According to the lawsuit, Kennedy was initially open to the idea of getting to know Rose better and even potentially sleeping with him if things progressed naturally. However, she did not consent to the sexual encounter that took place that evening, which left her feeling terrified and helpless.
During the night, Kennedy witnessed Rose engaging in aggressive behavior with another model while encouraging group sex. This prompted Kennedy to leave the room, but her attempts to escape were met with hostility from Rose, who reportedly dragged her back to his bedroom and assaulted her.
The lawsuit details how Rose allegedly grabbed Kennedy, knocked her to the floor, tied her hands behind her back, and sexually assaulted her while she felt trapped and unable to escape. This traumatic experience has had lasting effects on Kennedy, leading to emotional, physical, psychological, and financial impacts that have affected her well-being and career.
Kennedy’s lawsuit lists charges of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and gender-motivated violence as its causes of action. She is seeking a jury trial and is determined to pursue justice for the trauma she has endured.
This case falls under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily lifts the usual time limit for survivors of sexual assault to file lawsuits. The expiration of this act has led to a surge in lawsuits from survivors seeking accountability for past abuse, including cases involving other well-known figures like former President Donald Trump, hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, and comedian and actor Russell Brand.
As more survivors come forward to share their stories and seek justice, it’s essential that we support them in their journey towards healing and holding perpetrators accountable. We will continue to monitor this case closely and provide updates on any developments as they unfold.
