“#Phoebe Bridgers Sued for Defamation<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Phoebe Bridgers has been sued for defamation, TMZ<\/a> and People<\/em><\/a> report and Pitchfork can confirm. A producer named Chris Nelson, who owns a recording studio in Los Angeles, claims that Bridgers \u201cintentionally used her high-profile public platform on Instagram to publish false and defamatory statements regarding [Nelson] in order to destroy his reputation.\u201d He is seeking $3.8 million in damages for alleged defamation, false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and negligent interference with prospective economic relations.<\/p>\n

In his lawsuit, obtained by Pitchfork, Chris Nelson says that, \u201cin or around 2018, [he] and his girlfriend at the time\u2026 began having consensual sexual encounters with [Phoebe] Bridgers.\u201d Nelson and his girlfriend broke up \u201cin or around the fall of 2019,\u201d according to the lawsuit, but Nelson says that Bridgers and the woman \u201ccontinued their relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another year later, Bridgers made \u201cfalse and misleading statements about [Nelson],\u201d according to the lawsuit, which reads:<\/p>\n

In or around October 2020, defendant Bridgers published false and misleading statements about [Chris Nelson] on her public Instagram account, \u201c@_fake_nudes,\u201d stating: \u201cI witnessed and can personally verify much of the abuse (grooming, stealing, violence) perpetuated by Chris Nelson, owner of a studio called Sound Space….\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(Phoebe Bridgers changed her Instagram handle<\/a> from @_fake_nudes to @phoebebridgers<\/a> earlier this year.)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In addition, according to the lawsuit, Bridgers allegedly directed her followers to Nelson\u2019s ex-girlfriend\u2019s Instagram account, where the woman claimed that Nelson \u201cbeat a young Latinx man to death,\u201d \u201cbludgeoned at least one other man with a baseball bat,\u201d \u201cdefrauded [a] neighbor out of an estimated $100,000-$130,000,\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nelson \u201cbelieves that defendant Bridgers maliciously and intentionally posted the false and defamatory statements about [him] as part of a vendetta to destroy [his] reputation that was enflamed by defendant Bridgers and [his ex-girlfriend\u2019s] sexual relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Representatives for Phoebe Bridgers were not available for comment. Pitchfork has also reached out to lawyers for Chris Nelson.<\/p>\n

Chris Nelson is not credited as having worked professionally with Phoebe Bridgers. Nelson is, however, a producer of It\u2019s So Nice!<\/em>, the 2019 debut album from No\u00ebl Wells, the musician, actress, and director well known for her role in the first season of Master of None<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In December 2020, Nelson filed a defamation lawsuit against Wells in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the same venue for his lawsuit against Phoebe Bridgers. In the lawsuit against Wells, obtained by Pitchfork, Nelson claims:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Wells intentionally and willfully contacted a music artist manager (Tom Wironen of Friendly Announcer) with whom [Nelson] had a working, professional relationship stating falsely that [Nelson] committed an \u201cincredibly predatory move on [her].\u201d Defendant Wells also stated falsely that [Nelson] exhibited \u201cincredibly predatory behavior… toward young females including young female musicians.\u201d In making the false, defamatory, and misleading statements, Defendants Wells intended to interfere with and damage [Nelson]\u2019s business and working relationship with the music manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As with his lawsuit against Bridgers, Nelson is seeking damages for alleged defamation, false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and negligent interference with prospective economic relations. His lawsuit against Wells is active and ongoing, with multiple hearings scheduled for November, online records show.<\/p>\n
