A Texas designer, Dawn Simorangkir, lodged a libel suit in Los Angeles Superior Court this week. She is accusing Courtney Love of instigating a "an obsessional and delusional crusade" against her on social networking sites.
Simorangkir, aka the Boudoir Queen claims Love made "menacing and disturbing" statements about her on Twitter and MySpace.
The designer claims that the Hole singer accused her of being a "a horrible lying bitch and an asswipe nasty lying hoebag thief". She also claims that Love accused her of selling cocaine, being a drug addict, a prostitute and thief... oh and that the designer would be "hunted till your [sic] dead".
It is also alleged that Love posted demeaning remarks on a site where Ms Simorangkir sells her clothes, Etsy.com. The designer is described as "The nastiest lying worst person I have ever known ... evil incarnate, vile horrible lying bitch."
Simorangkir claims that things turned nasty after she billed Love for around $4,000 for couture clothing. Up until that point the relationship seemed to be friendly, even marked by expressions of appreciation.
According to Gawker, Love was so enthused about the designer's talents she described Simorangkir as "a genius". On MySpace Love reportedly praised a design that she described as "fucking ankle cuffs with fringe" and said it was "HOT".
Courtney Love isn't noted for her writing talents. When Love accused Kim Kardashian's brother Rob of bashing one of her associates there were a few syntax problems and according to Ms Kardashian a few reality gaps... 'a lot of what she wrote doesn't even make much sense and doesn't follow a clear train of thought'.
The disconnect suggested above would seem to support allegations in court papers in the Simorangkir claim: "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 Simorangkir's reputation and her livelihood."
The documents also say that when the designer quit working for Love due to unpaid bills, Love upped the ante to "an intense level of animosity ... well beyond what any reasonable person would consider acceptable behavior".
Twitter can be a dangerous tool because it allows you to upload thoughts when you think of them. For someone like Courtney Love who has a well known tendency to fire off in random directions it could prove hazardous.
