Surprise of the century: Courtney Love is in trouble again. The rocker and widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was slapped with a lawsuit last week by her former fashion designer, Dawn Simorangkir, over comments Love has written about her on Twitter and MySpace. According to a libel claim filed by Simorangkir in Los Angeles Superior Court March 26, Love used Twitter to disseminate “an obsessive and delusional crusade” of malicious libel against her. Simorangkir, who’s based in Austin, Texas, also claims Love slandered her on MySpace. Some of the messages included in the complaint:
“oi vey don’t f*** with my wardrobe or you will end up in a circle of corched earth hunted til your dead.”
“i promise you, within a few weeks, Madeoff will seem warm and fuzzy,”
“I can’t afford this s*** 2 lifes too short for mean girls/homophobes/racists/untrained women who attach a piece of chiffon to an d dress and call it worth thousand of dollars!,” Love wrote on MySpace, according to the complaint.
Someone made enough sense of Love’s rants to file a suit ? More power to them. Courntey Love is just a train wreck. However, I do think that freedom of speech exists. If the designer wins I hope it is on the claims she was never paid, not because of name calling.
