Tommy Lee sexual assault lawsuit provisionally dismissed

Tommy Lee over an alleged sexual assault in a helicopter.It comes after a woman, identified only as Jane Doe, claimed in a lawsuit last December that the Mötley Crüe drummer assaulted her in 2003, having lured her to his personal helicopter “under false pretences”.In the filing, she claimed that went on a 40-minute trip from San Diego to Van Nuys with Lee’s personal helicopter pilot David Martz before Lee joined them when they landed.She went on to allege that the two men “consumed several alcoholic beverages, smoked marijuana, and snorted cocaine” before Lee “then proceeded to sexually assault [her] by forcibly groping, kissing, penetrating her with his fingers, and attempting to force her to perform oral copulation.”As a result of the alleged assault, Doe said she had suffered severe emotional, physical, and psychological distress and that she didn’t report it because she believed it was an isolated event and that police wouldn’t take her seriously.Yesterday (May 6), Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Holly J. Fujie sided with Lee after the drummer’s lawyer argued that the claims didn’t qualify for revival under the law the Jane Doe plaintiff used when she filed her original lawsuit, reports Rolling Stone.The law, known as the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, requires that plaintiffs show that some type of “legal entity” engaged in a cooperative effort to hide evidence of their alleged sexual assault.Lee’s lawyer A.

Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough settle Lisa Marie Presley’s estate
Priscilla Presley has had her settlement with granddaughter Riley Keough, concerning her daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s estate, approved by the courts.The settlement states that Priscilla can now be buried as close to her ex-husband Elvis Presley as possible at the Graceland estate when she dies, and that her son Navarone Garibaldi can participate in the memorial ceremony.“Riley agrees to allow Priscilla to be buried upon her death in the Meditation Garden of Graceland. The burial location will be at the location closest to Elvis Presley without moving any existing gravesite,” reads the official settlement.As reported by Rolling Stone, the agreement has been confirmed in a probate court in Los Angeles County, and signed off by a judge, thereby avoiding a potentially long and costly legal battle.In addition, Priscilla is set to receive a $1 million (£810,000) payment from Lisa-Marie’s $25 million (£20.2 million) life insurance trust, as well as $100,000 a year for the next ten years for her services as “special advisor” to Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc.The settlement further states that Keough “agrees to use her best efforts to ask Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., or any successor thereof, not to pursue litigation against Priscilla related to her name, image and likeness.”The conflict between Priscilla and actor Keough arose around the sudden death of Lisa Marie Presley in January this year, which threw the inheritance of the Presley estate into question.
