Courtney Love Cleared In Twitter 'Twibel' Legal Case

A tweet posted by Courtney Love, singer and frontwoman of the band Hole, was not defamatory, a US jury has decided in a closely-watched and possibly landmark legal case.

In 2010 Love published a tweet which read as follows:

“@noozjunkie I was fucking devestated [sic] when Rhonda J. Holmes esq. of san diego was bought off @FairNewsSpears perhaps you can get a quote.”

Love had hired Holmes to file a fraud case against the estate of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, her late husband, but the relationship deteriorated.
