Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has been accused of a 1989 sexual assault in an explosive new lawsuit brought forth by former Penthouse model Sheila Kennedy.

"Simply put, this incident never happened," a lawyer for the rocker tells us.

In the court docs filed on Wednesday and obtained by RadarOnline.com, the plaintiff, who was Penthouse's Pet of the Year in '83, said the incident went down in a New York City hotel room after they met at a local nightclub.

The accuser said the incident went down in a New York City hotel room after they met at a local nightclub.

Kennedy alleged that he took an interest in her when she approached his table, claiming he asked if she would like to go back to his hotel for a party.

"Rose provided cocaine, champagne, and alcohol to his guests in the suite," according to the complaint. Kennedy said initially she was open to sleeping with him if things progressed, alleging that it took a turn after Rose and his friend cleared the suite of everyone except Kennedy and another model present.

"Rose began kissing and having sex with the other model," Kennedy stated, claiming it appeared to her that Rose was encouraging group sex which she wasn't interested in.

The former Penthouse model said she soon heard Rose screaming at the model and telling her to leave. She claimed he started acting excessively aggressive and later grabbed her by the robe and knocked her to the floor, before allegedly grabbing "her by the hair" and dragging her "across the suite back to his bedroom."

"Kennedy had just witnessed Rose violently have sex with another woman. He dragged Kennedy to his bedroom like a caveman and acted with uncontrollable fury," the docs stated, alleging that she felt trapped and overpowered before Rose allegedly "forcibly penetrated" Kennedy's anus with his penis.

She said this alleged sexual abuse had "lifelong emotional, physical, psychological, and financial impacts on Kennedy's life."

Kennedy stated that she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression after Rose allegedly "used his fame, status, and power as a celebrity and performer in the music industry to gain access to manipulate, control, and violently sexually assault her."

Her legal team said she shudders when hearing Rose's name or the music performed by his band, alleging that it also impacted her intimate relationships in the years to follow.

RadarOnline.com reached out to a rep for Rose for comment, to which a lawyer issued a statement.

"Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires. Though he doesn't deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these fictional allegations prior to today. Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor," said attorney Alan S. Gutman of Gutman Law.
