Shocking Allegations: Former Penthouse Model Accuses Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses of Rape in 1989
Welcome to “Music Nation 365”, where we bring you all the latest news and updates from the world of music. Today, we have a compelling story about an unsettling lawsuit that has been filed against Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose. Let’s dive into the details.
A former Penthouse magazine model named Sheila Kennedy has filed a lawsuit against Axl Rose, alleging that he raped her in a disturbing attack that took place in a New York City hotel back in 1989. The lawsuit, filed under a temporary New York law called the Adult Survivors Act, allows adult victims to sue perpetrators for attacks that occurred even decades ago. Kennedy is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the physical, emotional, and financial harm she has suffered as a result of the assault.
According to Kennedy, she met Axl Rose in a Manhattan nightclub in February 1989, where he invited her to join a party in his hotel suite. However, the night took a dark turn when Rose allegedly assaulted her, causing lasting emotional, physical, and financial damage. The lawsuit describes a harrowing ordeal in which Rose forcefully assaulted Kennedy without her consent, leaving her with symptoms akin to post-traumatic stress disorder whenever she encounters his name or music.
Kennedy’s lawsuit paints a disturbing picture of the aftermath of the attack, detailing how she has struggled with anxiety, depression, and financial repercussions as a result of her encounter with Axl Rose. She has been open about her allegations in the past, discussing them in a memoir and a documentary about sexual abuse in the music industry.
In response to the lawsuit, Axl Rose’s attorney has denied the allegations, stating that the incident never happened and that Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to Kennedy. Rose is confident that the case will be resolved in his favor and maintains his innocence in the matter.
As this story unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of taking allegations of sexual assault seriously and providing victims with a platform to seek justice for the harm they have endured. We will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as they become available. Stay tuned to “Music Nation 365” for all the latest news from the music world.
