Fox News
Axl Rose, the lead singer of rock group Guns N' Roses, was accused of violently sexually assaulting a former Penthouse Pet Sheila Kennedy in the '80s.
The Guns N' Roses lead singer used his "fame, status, and power as a celebrity and performer in the music industry to gain access to manipulate, control, and violently sexually assault Kennedy." Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital. Send story tips to Tracy.Wright@fox.com.
"Simply put, this incident never happened. Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires," Rose's lawyer, Alan S. Gutman, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these fictional allegations prior to today.
"Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor."
