Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has settled the lawsuit filed in November 2023 by former Penthouse Pet of the Year Sheila Kennedy, who claimed that back in 1989 the rocker sexually assaulted her in his hotel room after they met at a New York nightclub.
They argued that she had previously acknowledged in her 2016 memoir, No One's Pet, that her encounter with Rose was consensual, adding that she only changed her story after New York passed the Adult Survivor's Act, which allowed victims of sexual abuse to sue in cases that would have otherwise fallen outside the usual statute of limitations.
