Danny Elfman Hit With Defamation Lawsuit by Fellow Composer Who Accuses Him of Egregious Sexual Harassment
Prolific composer Danny Elfman faces a defamation lawsuit from composer Nomi Abadi related to her sexual harassment accusations against the musician.
Attorney Eric George, who represented Amber Heard in the early stages of her legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp, filed the suit on behalf of Abadi. As a result, job opportunities allegedly dried up for the fledgling composer, whose credits include a series of shorts and the 2023 film “Sebastian.” “Nomi has suffered PTSD, anxiety, depression, nervousness, and fear for her personal safetyin the wake of online harassment spurred by these defamations,” the complaint says. He created the instantly recognizable theme for “The Simpsons” and more recently Netflix’s “Wednesday.” Elfman, 71, is a frequent collaborator of Tim Burton’s who has scored most of his films including 1989’s “Batman” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and has also worked with everyone from Noah Baumbach to Sam Raimi.
