The rock star will not only become the first celebrity to defend an allegedly defamatory tweet inside a U.S. courtroom, but she might have to address the wild and maybe uncontrollable way she's acted in the past.
She's being pursued by Rhonda Holmes, an attorney the star once hired to handle a fraud case against those managing the estate of Kurt Cobain, the late Nirvana frontman and Love's husband. Holmes is suing Love over a 2010 tweet that read in part, "I was fucking devestated [sic] when Rhonda J. Holmes esq. of san diego was bought off." (Love is also facing claims over a follow-up interview she gave to a reporter.)
Love maintains that she meant to send a "DM" (private direct message) and accidently sent her message to the public via Twitter. Holmes is a limited-purpose public figure, so she'll have to demonstrate that Love acted with malice.
The rock star can pursue her "mistake" defense, but it could open up a wider inquiry into Love's larger behavior. This isn't the first time that Love has been sued over a tweet. Her daughter once recommended that Twitter ban her mother.
