Phoebe Bridgers scored a major legal victory when a Los Angeles judge struck down a $3.8 million defamation lawsuit filed against her by a recording studio owner.
“I witnessed and can personally verify much of the abuse perpetuated by Chris Nelson, owner of a studio called Sound Space,” Bridgers’ post, which appeared on her Instagram account for 24 hours, read. “For anyone who knows [Nelson], is considering working with him, or wants to know more, there is an articulate and mind-blowing account on @emilybannon’s page as a highlight. TRIGGER WARNING for basically everything triggering.
Nelson filed his defamation lawsuit in September 2021, claiming Bridgers “maliciously and intentionally” posted her statements knowing they were “false.” He claims Bridgers and Bannon engaged in a “revenge plot” after his dating relationship with Bannon ended. “As a result of defendant Bridgers’ statements, musicians and artists removed plaintiff from their projects and stripped plaintiff of credits that he had obtained in producing their music,” Nelson’s suit claims. He alleges Bridgers’ “misleading” post caused him to lose business and suffer damages of at least $3.8 million.“It would seem to me that the posting by Ms. Bridgers is one that is a matter of public interest.
Judge Kin said he believed Bridgers “intended to provide protected consumer information to musicians or others who might consider working with ” And he said Nelson’s attempt to portray himself as a private person for the purposes of anti-SLAPP was “inconsistent” with his own lawsuit, wherein he describes himself as a “well-established” producer known to famous artists and instrument collectors.
Nelson previously sued Bannon for defamation in December 2020. That case was put on hold in April as Bannon appeals an order denying her special motion to strike.
