Courtney Love is getting sued over her Twitter feed. Reports NME:
The Hole singer, who is a prolific user of Twitter, posted a series of tweets criticising fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir via her page, Twitter.com/courtneyloveuk.
Love has allegedly accused Simorangkir of being a drug-pushing prostitute with a history of assault and battery who lost custody of her own child. Love wrote: “She has received a vast amount of money from me over $40,000 dollars and I do not make people famous and get raped too!”
Wait, whom is she calling a “drug-pushing prostitute with a history of assault and battery who lost custody of her own child”? Simorangkir or herself? I do love a Love Tweet. However, let’s call a spade a spade, Love, and say that your record is not so much flawless as not. You know, drug/sexing/assault/losing custody of child-wise. Please don’t kill me. Unless it’s the sex competition that leads to my death that we were talking about earlier.
Love’s lawyer, James Janowitz said: “We don’t believe there’s any defamation, and even if there were defamatory statements, there was no damage.”
There were no defamatory statements. BUT EVEN IF THERE WERE, even though there WASN’T, there was no damage. So THERE. God speed to you, James Janowitz. The cool thing is that this is the first lawsuit of its kind, in that she is the first celebrity to be sued over her Twitter. I hope it goes all the way to the Supreme Court and ends up as precedent that law students cite. “In the case of Simorangkir vs. Love we see that when the defendant is clearly unstable, her Twitter feeds are rendered moot for reasons of insanity and she cannot be charged with defamation. Also, side angle side.”‘ That’s how law students talk, right?
