Dita Von Teese asks for her lawsuit to be dismissed
Dita Von Teese has asked a Los Angeles court to dismiss her lawsuit against a giant swan manufacturer over a malfunctioning stage prop after the item was returned to her fully repaired.
The former wife of Marilyn Manson, real name Heather Sweet, employed the services of Fred Knaff last year to build her a 10 foot high swan with a fountainhead in the beak, in which she could perform the act she calls Swan Lake.
But the fountain malfunctioned at her show’s debut in Toronto, Canada on November 12th and she was forced to return the damaged goods for repair.
Knaff reportedly refused to fix it – and Von Teese subsequently filed suit against Knaff’s firm in April.
But now Von Teese has filed a motion at Los Angeles Superior Court in a bid to have her legal action dismissed, claiming she has settled the dispute out of court, according to website TMZ.com.
