Axl Rose Sued Over Alleged 1989 Rape of Penthouse Model
Rock legend Axl Rose was accused of sexual assault in a bombshell complaint filed Wednesday. The complaint alleges that the Guns N’ Roses frontman carried out the attack in 1989, when he was “at the peak of his commercial success.”
Sheila Kennedy, Penthouse’s “Pet of the Year” in 1983, alleges in the complaint filed in the Supreme Court of New York that Rose “violently” assaulted her in a New York City hotel room.
She said she met Rose at a nightclub before he invited her back to his hotel, where a consensual sexual encounter quickly spun out of control.
