A multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit filed against US musician Phoebe Bridgers has been dropped.
The case was originally filed by producer Chris Nelson back in September 2021. Nelson sued the “Kyoto” singer for 3.8m (£3.2m), claiming she spread false accusations about him.
At the time he alleged defamation, false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intentional interference with prospective economic relations.
In the original suit, it stated that that Bridgers had “consensual sexual encounters” with Nelson and his then girlfriend, Emily Bannon “around 2018”, which continued until Bannon and Nelson broke up in 2019.
Following his split with Bannon, Nelson claims that Bridgers “maliciously and intentionally posted the false and defamatory statements about [him] as part of a vendetta to destroy [his] reputation that was inflamed by defendant Bridgers and his [ex-girlfriend, Bannon’s] sexual relationship”.
The defamation relates to an Instagram post from October 2020, where Nelson claims Bridgers made “false and misleading statements” on her account,...

The US artist’s statement was made on Wednesday (9 November), when Cudi removed his music from Soundcloud after a fan had said they preferred the original version.
It started when the fan tweeted saying “I fkn love u @KiDCuDi thank you so making this masterpiece”, accompanied by a screenshot of his song “love” on Soundcloud.
Cudi then replied to the fan asking if they knew he had released the song officially on his compilation album The Boy Who Flew to the Moon, Vol. 1.

The Cure’s keyboardist Roger O’Donnell has responded to Paul Weller’s diatribe against his bandmate Robert Smith.
Earlier this week, Paul Weller hit out at The Cure frontman in an interview, calling him a “fat c***” and suggested he would like to “slap him”.
Weller’s comments were made when an interviewer for the cover story ofRecord Collector suggested that a song from Noel Gallagher’s forthcoming album sounds like “A Forest” by The Cure.
Weller didn’t seem to be too happy with this assertion, with the writer describing him as going into a state of “revulsion”.
"Really??!“ Weller said."I can’t f***ing stand them.”
“F***ing fat c***, with his lipstick and all that b*llocks. He is my age as well, isn’t he?" Weller said.
"He’s a f***ing kn*b end," he continued. "I don’t like him. There you go.
