Courtney Love twitter libel court trial twibel Courtney Love twitter libel court trial twibel

On Friday afternoon X17 photographers snapped a cheerful Courtney Love and her attorney at the Los Angeles County Superior Courthouse, and this was following yet another day of Love's defamation trial.

The Hole rocker is the first person to wind up on trial for alleged Twitter libel, or "Twibel," and we're not sure how her case is going thus far, but given the expression on her face, she doesn't seem too concerned!

The trial started this past week, and it all stems from a message Love tweeted in 2010 from her now defunct @CourtneyLoveUK account. Love wrote, "@noozjunkie I was f---ing devastated when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of san diego was bought off @fairnewsspears perhaps you can get a quote."

Love hired Rhonda Holmes several years ago to represent her in a fraud lawsuit which alleged that the estate managers of her late husband Kurt Cobain had taken millions that rightfully belonged to her and couple's daughter, Frances Bean. In 2009 Holmes spoke publicly about representing Love in the suit, and she was reported as saying, "I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude. This case is going to make Bernard Madoff look warm and fuzzy." Yikes!

Things got even uglier the following year, and that's when Love posted the now infamous tweet. The law firm claims the tweet implies that her lawyer took a bribe to back off the fraud suit, which is defamatory as it could reach "millions of people," according to the lawsuit. However, Love told the court that her Tweet wasn't defamatory because it reflected her personal opinion. Jury's still out on this one, but we'll keep you posted!
