Axl Rose Slams Ex-Penthouse Pet of the Year Suing Over Alleged 1989 Sexual Assault, Accuses Her of Rewriting History

However, at the party, Kennedy claimed to have witnessed Rose get rough with another model. She said he then found her and dragged her into the bedroom, the suit alleged.

She claimed Rose sexually assaulted her. “Rose made no attempt to ask for or check that Kennedy was consenting. He treated her like property used solely for his sexual pleasure. He did not use a condom,” her suit read. “Kennedy did not consent and felt overpowered. She felt she had no escape or exit and was compelled to acquiesce. She believed [Axl] would physically attack her, or worse, if she said no or attempted to push him away. She understood that the safest thing to do was to lie in bed and wait for Rose to finish assaulting her.”

He said Kennedy had “repeatedly acknowledged” that he never assaulted her.

Rose said Kennedy spoke about their encounter in her 2016 memoir and in a 2021 documentary. He said in the book she said she “wanted to be with him since the minute I’d first laid eyes on him.”

During her interview, he quoted her as saying Rose had acted “gently” and the sex was “consensual.”

Rose accused Kennedy of attempting to “rewrite history” with her lawsuit.

His lawyer wrote, “Despite having made clear and definitive statements, both before and after the height of the “Me Too” movement, that her alleged sexual encounter with Rose was consensual, her position has now shifted. The belief that the statute of limitations had re-opened and that she could profit from claiming—for the first time, nearly 35 years later—that the incident had not in fact been consensual, was apparently too great an opportunity to pass up, and so she filed this false Complaint a mere two days before its expiration.”

Rose asked that Kennedy be sanctioned for bringing the lawsuit.

Now, in his newly filed motion, Rose argued once again for dismissal. His lawyer said, “at the heart of [Kennedy’s] complaint is her salacious, inflammatory, and false claim that Defendant forcibly raped her in 1989. This claim is directly and repeatedly contradicted by Plaintiff’s prior statements — in print and on video Z— and that the incident alleged in the complaint was entirely consensual.”

In addition, Rose argued that Kennedy’s various attempts to serve him have been unsuccessful despite her process server’s claims otherwise.

The rockstar asked for the complaint to be dismissed in its entirety.
