Her initial lawsuit said the alleged abuse took place between April and May of 1965 at the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan. After Dylan historians and supporters argued the musician wasn’t even in New York during that timeframe, making her claims “chronologically impossible,” the unidentified woman filed an amended complaint changing the time period to “the spring” of the same year.
In his scathing response, Dylan and his lawyers blasted the accuser as a lying fabulist. “According to her own website, plaintiff is a psychic who specializes in ‘channeling’ the deceased loved ones of grieving families — for a fee,” the new filing states. It claims the accuser had not only claimed she had been abducted by aliens, she also purportedly claims that “she speaks to cats, dogs and other animals — alive and dead — as well as insects and plants.
“Neither my client or her counsel are going to be bullied,” Peter Gleason, one of the accuser’s lawyers, told“Some people refer to Bob Dylan as a prophet. People have labels. More than half of Americans believe in psychic phenomena. If you’re going to attack somebody for their beliefs, you’re encroaching upon very dangerous territory. This is what this country is based on, freedom of beliefs. It shouldn’t divert our attention from the allegations. This case is about the facts.
In the answer filed Thursday, Dylan and his lawyers said there was essentially zero chance the “Blowin’ in the Wind” singer and 10-time Grammy winner would pay a nuisance settlement to make the case go away. “Mr. Dylan may have seemed like an easy mark for the lawyers who filed and hoped to profit off of this fraudulent lawsuit. They likely assumed he would not be up for the fight and would instead pay extortion to avoid the burden, publicity, and expense of defending himself. They could not have been more wrong. Mr. Dylan seeks and will achieve justice, vindication and full accountability,” the filing vows.
He wasn't even said city on dates in her complaint,what's she do? She changed the dates to match his itinerary.
...all 'psychics' are unbalanced so there's that
A brazen shakedown By an unbalanced psychic... Sounds like a Dylan lyric.
Anyone who's ever read his biographies knows hes always abused women and manipulated people.
She must’ve seen that coming
I do and will always support victims of sexual assault and rape - it is so important that we do better in believing and supporting them but I am increasingly uneasy about the accused being named before being proved guilty - innocent until proven guilty is the absolute -
I believe Bob. Totally. I’ve met him. I don’t think he has sexual abuse in him.
Theyll stone you when your trying to be good.
