Composer Nomi Abadi sued Danny Elfman for defamation on Wednesday over comments Elfman made to Rolling Stone in 2023 about her previous accusation that he sexually harassed and assaulted her.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges that “Defendant Danny Elfman peddled appalling lies for publication to Rolling Stone about Nomi, who had previously in an earlier lawsuit truthfully relayed facts corroborating his penchant to sexually abuse women. Why? As part of a harebrained ‘zero sum’ scheme by Elfman to prop up his checkered reputation by destroying Nomi’s credibility.”

“Defendant Elfman lied about Nomi, branding her as a scorned woman attempting to break up his marriage, and as someone who initiated nude photography,” the document also states.
