Phoebe Bridgers issues in-court response to defamation suit
Last year, Phoebe Bridgers was hit with a $3.8 million defamation suit filed by Chris Nelson, a producer and studio owner. The suit stemmed from posts on Bridgers' Instagram account: in one Instagram story, she claimed to have witnessed Nelson engaging in "abuse" including "grooming, stealing, [and] violence." Nelson's lawsuit also alleged that Bridgers used her account to broadcast claims made by Nelson's ex-girlfriend Emily Bannon reportedly accusing him of murder, assault, and fraud.
