Phoebe Bridgers has been finally freed from the $3.8 million defamation lawsuit. It has been filed by the producer Chris Nelson. He accused Bridgers by saying that she is using her platforms and making false defamatory statements. This lawsuit decision has been dismissed by the Los Angeles Superior Court’s judge Curtis A. Kin.
At the very beginning, Phoebe Bridgers filed a dismissal request regarding California’s anti-SLAPP laws. This law can be only used when a person does something or talks about things publicly that they don’t have the right to. Bridgers has said that she was under the First Amendment when she charged Chris. He is the owner of Sound Space studios who did an unacceptable act of Bridgers’ social media post in October 2020.
Through media, it has been known from Bridgers that ‘We feel vindicated that the court recognized this lawsuit as frivolous and without merit. It was not grounded in law, or facts, but was filed with the sole intention of causing harm to our client’s reputation and career’. She has also added by saying ‘This victory is important not just for our client but for all those she was seeking to protect by using her platform’.
In that Instagram post, Bridgers didn’t have said anything to get this much offended. She has just made a statement to support Nelson’s ex Emily Bannon. She said ‘I witnessed and can personally verify much of the abuse (grooming, stealing, violence) perpetuated by Chris Nelson’. But all this made Nelson sue the singer. And he gave the reason that she was ‘maliciously and intentionally’ trying to destroy his reputation among everyone.
Nelson has also said that Bridgers and Bannon had their relationship and they are also being around each other since 2018. They also have physical encounters from that same time, which is a consensual act between the two. It is not the first time when Nelson has sued a person for defamation. In 2020 he sued his own girlfriend Bannon. He also did the same that month with the Saturday Night Live actress and musician Noël Wells for making a defamatory and misleading statement. He sued him because Noël advised the Big Thief, an indie rock band not to work with him. but the whole case has been resumed for now.
