- PeanutCheeseBar, on 11/04/2009, -4/+43Didn't Glenn Beck kill a girl back in 1990?
- drunkCatholic, on 11/03/2009, -3/+36This kind of ***** right here makes me wish that the world would really end in 2012.
I wish someone would just ***** delete twitter off the face of the earth. - chompapotamus, on 11/04/2009, -0/+25i see no evidence to prove she didn't
- namslam, on 11/03/2009, -1/+22wow. you can sue people over "hurtful" tweets?
- kevio, on 11/04/2009, -2/+21Wait, Courtney Love called someone else an unfit mother? Ummm, look in the mirror!
- agentsrecord, on 11/04/2009, -4/+22Hahaha, legal 'Hole'.
Was I the only ***** who got that? - THEKapnobatai, on 11/04/2009, -2/+15Beck never denied it. It may or may not be true, but if it isn't true he should deny it.
- beachtrader, on 11/04/2009, -2/+13It's libel actually. Slander is spoken falsehoods, libel is written falsehoods.
/anal attentive systems off - chieflbm, on 11/04/2009, -0/+10Please do not delete twitter. This is one of the highlights of my day :
http://twitter.com/***** - Hetman, on 11/03/2009, -2/+10When you are right you are right.
- swantamer, on 11/04/2009, -2/+10I read someplace that he might have raped her before he killed her. Or maybe it was after . . . I think I read that some place else. It was one or the other, or both, I guess we'll never know for sure until he spills the beans.
- DraculaConte, on 11/03/2009, -2/+9How easy / difficult is it to prove that Courtney Love was the actual owner of this Twitter account and it was indeed Courtney that tweeted the slander?
- goobly, on 11/04/2009, -0/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation
- diggbigwig, on 11/04/2009, -1/+8No. You're just the only ***** that thought everyone else was too dumb to get it.
- foontala, on 11/04/2009, -0/+7Dugg for deleting twitter.
- TrouserJazz, on 11/04/2009, -0/+7***** Twitter, and ***** celeb twitterers. Buried.

I LOL'd - inactive, on 11/04/2009, -0/+5No...but libelous ones, yes.
Sorry to tell you, but just because it is on the interent does not mean laws don't apply. - c3rb85, on 11/04/2009, -2/+7I think it was for the better. We wouldn't have Foo Fighters other wise.
- tyne101101, on 11/04/2009, -2/+7Ummm let's see... an unfit mother, thief, and a drug dealer. Which adjectives does it apply to her?
A. Drug Dealer
B. Thief
C. Bad mother
D. All of the above
???
If you chose D.)... - dlm85, on 11/04/2009, -0/+4Tweeting her hole would lead to an infection.
- Hetman, on 11/04/2009, -5/+9Official report suicide by gun/heroin. Unofficial report The smell of her vagina put him into a heroin like coma, the smell eventually becoming so bad his head exploded. It almost happened to billy Corgan fortunately he got away in time, unfortunately for his hair some of the affects were irreversible.
- fury420, on 11/04/2009, -1/+5really?
Perhaps you should re-read the article. It certainly seems like Love was the one doing the tweeting about the designer;
"Munoz ruled that Love's tweets about designer Dawn Simorangkir didn't concern a matter of public interest"
"Love claims that her statements about the designer were indeed of public concern"
"Munoz ruled that Love's tweets are not of public concern"
"Love's tweets"
The sentence used in the description is a bit unclear, ideally there should be a comma between designer & calling to make it clear who was being called a thief/drug dealer/etc... - inigomntoya, on 11/04/2009, -0/+4Wow - this is actually the first time I have visited twitter. Your link made it totally worth it!
- JoeParanoid, on 11/04/2009, -1/+4Last I looked, repeating the bad names someone else called you (especially if true) does not amount to libel. I"m truly surprised at how many people did not get the gist of this.
- kgerm, on 11/04/2009, -2/+5WHORE!
- seltaeb4, on 11/04/2009, -2/+5If only Kurt had hooked up with Liz Phair, he'd still be alive and we would have had some more incredible music.
- lornefs, on 11/04/2009, -0/+3A taught I taw a tweeting *****.
- jedinate, on 11/04/2009, -1/+4As usual, the lawsuit has brought more attention to the Tweets in question, than the original post. Had this designer just ignored her, this would be over. Now, millions of people, on the internet, who had never heard of her, think she is just as crazy as Courtney.
- dfross, on 11/04/2009, -0/+3Coming from Courtney Love, surely those are compliments? I mean, add in "driving a more talented artist to suicide" and you've pretty much got the full package.
- kevio, on 11/04/2009, -0/+3Love was the one slinging mud. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/AheadoftheCurv ...
- FredFredrickson, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2You can when it hurts your business and there is no way to back up the claim.
- FOR3MAN, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2E. Profit!?
- loudthing, on 11/04/2009, -3/+5Wow, I was REALLY hoping we would finally get a confession about Cobain's death...
- fxu1989, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2Take your own advice.
- twiztidsinz, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2Hate to say it... but supporting Nirvana now benefits Courtney.
- Midtowner, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Actually, in bringing a claim for defamation, you don't have to prove that the claim was untrue. Truth is a defense, thus may only be raised by the defendant. Also, the defendant has the burden of proving the truth of his claim.
Further, it is not a defense for the defendant to simply claim they were repeating something they heard from someplace else. That's not even relevant. It doesn't even matter if the defendant's belief in the truth of what that third party (who should also be named as a defendant) was reasonable.
Welcome to the U.S. legal system. - FredFredrickson, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Being the only person to remember the terrible music of Hole is a curse, not a blessing.
- zantos420, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Coming this Christmas to a box office near you...
- twiztidsinz, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1Wasn't there just a story about how Courtney's money is basically all gone and she was trying to get Francis' money for herself?
- VitriolAndAngst, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1So what you are saying is guilty until proven innocent?
However, in THIS case -- she isn't repeating something someone said -- she is stating what happened to her. If saying "a McWilliams employe stabbed me" is defamation, when that employee stabbed you -- then we have a very, very screwed up justice system.
Of course it wouldn't surprise me; we can prosecute Courtney love for a Twitter comment but we can't Audit Hank Paulson after he misplaced $9 Trillion, or prosecute war profiteering. The system is broken at the top -- let's see how it works out for a D-List celebrity. - gkiltz, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1If her history is any indicator, she was probably high!
- Amadeus2490, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
You know you're right. - DirtPile, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2We're both the only ones who got it!
- MarkOfTheDead, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1You sound like one well-equipped proctologist!
- inigomntoya, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Delete Twitter - Delete Courtney Love.
