An attorney for Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has dismissed a sexual abuse and battery lawsuit as “fictional claims”.

The lawsuit was filed at the New York Supreme Court on Wednesday by actress and model Sheila Kennedy, who alleged Rose violently attacked her in a hotel room in 1989 which resulted in a diagnosis of “anxiety and depression”.
