Courtney Love sued for libel by designer who claims she launched a hate campaign against her on Twitter
It has become one of the most popular social networking site for the stars but now Twitter is hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons as it appears to have sparked its first libel action courtesy of singer Courtney Love.
The 44-year-old is being sued by a fashion designer who alleges that she has attempted a smear campaign against her.
Dawn Simorangkir claims the Hole singer ‘has embarked in what is nothing short of an obsessive and delusional crusade to terrorise and destroy’ her in court papers filed last week at the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The suit cites remarks from Love's Twitter and MySpace pages, and in the feedback section of Etsy.com.
It said the mother of one called Ms Simorangkir a ‘nasty lying hosebag thief’ and accused her of being a drug addict and a prostitute.
Simorangkir says that Courtney has attempted to ruin her business and destroy her good name and is suing for invasion of privacy, as well as emotional distress.
According to a report in The Independent, court papers laying out the claim state: ‘Whether caused by drug-induced psychosis, a warped understanding of reality, or the belief that money and fame allow her to disregard the law, Love has embarked on what is nothing short of an obsessive and delusional crusade to destroy Ms Simorangkir's reputation and her livelihood.'
