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, 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.”

1989?

:what:

You saw the Me Too movement explode a few years ago and you come out with this NOW?

And you're not accusing him of rape. But "sexual assault". Which sounds more like some Aziz Ansari shyt where you probably had a bad date or a guy came onto you and you were creeped out. Which is bad. But how serious is this really?

Look. I'm not here to defend Axl Rose for anything. Maybe he was a scumbag. He was certainly wild in those days. I'm just saying...at a certain point, I can't muster the energy to give a shyt. 1989? Word? Ok.

I think she spoke about it before... but is now going through the courts.

New York's Adult Survivors Act is expiring soon. Each case is unique of course, but for people wondering about the timing, it's because that law ends soon.
Bill Cosby, Puffy, Marcellus Wiley, Axl Rose, and that former Bad Boy exec all filed under the same court in NY. We'll probably see a few more this week.
