Axl Rose has filed a motion to dismiss the sexual assault lawsuit that was made against him in late 2023.In November, a lawsuit was filed in New York’s Supreme Court against the Guns N’ Roses frontman, alleging that he sexually assaulted the model Sheila Kennedy in 1989.In the lawsuit, Kennedy claimed that she was 26 and he was 27 when they first met at a nightclub in New York.

Upon meeting, Rose is said to have invited Kennedy to his hotel room.At first, there was an initial consensual kiss, where Rose is alleged to have “pushed Kennedy against the wall”.

Furthermore, the lawsuit states that Kennedy “was open to sleeping with him if things progressed.” However, she maintains that she did not consent to alleged further violent encounters later that evening.The lawsuit claims that Rose then “knocked her to the floor and “grabbed her by the hair and dragged her across the suite back to his bedroom.” This caused “her knees to bleed from scraping on the rug.”Rose went on to allegedly throw her on the bed, tying up her hands behind her back with pantyhose and then forcibly penetrating her.

The lawsuit claimed Rose was in “a sexual, volatile rage”.“He treated her like property used solely for his sexual pleasure,” the suit went on to allege. “Kennedy did not consent and felt overpowered.”Now, Rose’s legal team have submitted court documents in an effort to get the suit thrown out.“Kennedy cannot and will not succeed in this unscrupulous attempt at a financial windfall.
