Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has been accused of a 1989 sexual assault in an explosive new lawsuit.
The lawsuit, brought by former Penthouse model Sheila Kennedy, claims the rocker forced himself on her in a hotel room shortly after they had met for the first time at a New York nightclub, according to the lawsuit.
A rep for Rose did not immediately return a request for comment.
We expect that Sheila Kennedy’s decision to file this suit will be an important turning point for the music industry,” Kennedy’s lawyer, Ann Olivarius, said in a statement. “Her account is unfortunately all too typical of a culture of violence and sexual misconduct that has been allowed to exist in plain sight for decades. It’s not just individual musicians stepping out of line, but an industrial system of enabling them and then covering up their misconduct and crimes, silencing survivors and normalizing sexual assault. We hope Sheila’s bravery helps other victims find their voice.”
