Courtney Love’s Twitter account may be defunct, but it’s still getting her into trouble. For the second time, the Hole singer has been sued over her comments on the social media site.
.
Rhonda Holmes, a U.S. attorney, filed a lawsuit against Love after the musician claimed Holmes had been “bought off.” Holmes was hired by Love to represent her and to investigate whether money had been stolen from the estate of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, last year. Holmes was later fired by the singer six months after Love had hired her firm. Love then tweeted, “I was fucking devastated when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of San Diego was bought off.” Holmes is suing for defamation, saying her career was damaged following the Twitter comment, which she says is false.
.
This is the second instance of Love’s Twitter comments resulting in a lawsuit for defamation. In the first suit, Love was ordered to pay a whopping $430,000 settlement to fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir.

In other Love news, the singer has also been ordered to pay two of her former maids, Miriam and Myriam, owed wages of $35,000, according to TMZ. A Beverly Hills judge ruled that Love must pay$16,632.45 to Mirium and $19,137.27 to Myrium, which totals $35,769.72 in wages, penalties and interest.
