Danny Elfman sued for defamation by sexual misconduct accuser
Danny Elfman has been sued for defamation by one of his sexual misconduct accusers.The musician and composer was sued on Wednesday (July 10) over the statements he made to Rolling Stone last year which were included in a piece about a settlement he made with Los Angeles composer Nomi Abadi following her accusations of him and his repeated sexual harassment and misconduct toward her.Abadi’s suit – which was filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claimed that Elfman “peddled appalling lies for publication to Rolling Stone about Nomi.” It also claims that the alleged lies made by Elfman and his representatives – which claimed that he did not engage in sexual misconduct toward Abadi – allegedly painted Abadi as “a failed temptress who lied about him for reasons of revenge and greed,” (per Rolling Stone).“Defendant Elfman lied about Nomi, branding her as a scorned woman attempting to break up his marriage, and as someone who initiated nude photography,” read the suit. “As a result of Elfman and his representatives’ defamations, Nomi has suffered humiliation, both personally and professionally, within their shared composing industry, and online, and harm to her professional reputation and her occupation as a composer, musician, and educator.”Last year, Abadi previously accused Elfman of exposing himself and harassing her in 2017, before reaching a settlement of $830,000 (£645,000) to silence the claims.
