Gossip-column lawsuits and legal threats
Buddyhead’s gossip and criticism coverage reportedly led to more than a dozen lawsuits involving musicians, record labels, and entertainment executives, including Korn, Courtney Love, Fred Durst, Moby, Drive-Thru Records, Axl Rose, and Ari Emanuel.
Fred Durst office and tour-bus pranks
Buddyhead was associated with vandalizing The Strokes’ tour bus and entering Fred Durst’s office at Interscope Records. Three of Durst’s baseball caps were taken and later auctioned, with reported proceeds donated to a rape-victim charity.
