Court date set for Rose and Seymour

LOS ANGELES —AXL ROSE'S former fiancee lost a bid to keep some of the bickering couple’s dirty secrets under wraps.

A judge Tuesday refused to seal court records in the assault lawsuits filed by the GUNS N' ROSES singer and model STEPHANIE SEYMOUR.

Seymour’s lawyer, John Laveley Jr., wanted depositions sealed to keep personal matters and unsubstantiated allegations private. He said Rose “would be in a position to say things in a deposition that would be defamatory.”

Rose’s lawyer, Howard King, said the request was a “hysterical overreaction to what has not happened.”

Superior Court Judge Joseph Kalin said Rose and Seymour risked disclosure by suing in the first place. He set trial for May 9.
