Courtney Love just won the distinction of being the first celebrity sued for tweeting.
In Los Angeles Superior Court, clothes designer Dawn Simorangkir, also known as Boudoir Queen, last Thursday filed suit against Love for defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress for "an extensive rant" on Twitter about how she was billed for custom clothing.
It's hard to be extensive when one is limited to just 140 characters. But if anybody can do it, it's Love, who allegedly wrote grammatically challenged comments like "oi vey don't f--- with my wardrobe or you will end up in a circle of corched eaeth hunted til your dead."
"Whether caused by a drug induced psychosis, a warped understanding of reality, or the belief that her money and fame allow her to disregard the law, Love has embarked (o)n what is nothing short of an obsessive and delusional crusade to terrorize and destroy Simorangkir, Simorangkir's reputation and her livelihood," says the complaint.
Love's spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit.

First i would like to say whoever wrote this post did a very good job at giving a visual of what Love would do or say. She is crazy and the example tweet you gave is a prime example of how crazy she really is. I don't think she should get sued because it is an opinion. I'm sure people insult people everyday on Twitter so there would be way to many suits if everyone sued who got affended. They should just drop it. Good blog post, very funy.
I love that celebrities think they are immuned to the law. Courtney Love should be prosecuted just as any other U.S. citizen would be, and whether or not her comment was just an opinion, she wrote it on a public site and people listen to celebrities. I enjoyed the blog post and hope to see our bad-mouthing celeb take responsibility for her actions.
She drove Kurt Cobain to suicide so it's no surprise C. Love is in the news for something as ridiculous as tweeting. The woman has and will continue to have the ability to end up in the news for the most zany antics and ridiculous actions. Im not too fond of the idea of her getting sued considering she has a history of odd and unstable behavior and anyone getting overly hurt over a tweet probably belongs in the same pool of nutjobs.
Doesn't surprise me, lol. Guess she's trying to make a comeback or something.
