Mediaboss Marketing

Vince Neil, lead singer of the rock band Mtley Cre, has gone to court to force an Oregon woman to relinquish control of his social media accounts.

In a lawsuit filed Friday in Clark County District Court, Neil claims Kristy Sinsara is making unauthorized posts that the public and his fans believe are being made by him.

Sinsara maintains control over the accounts because she is using them to trade on Neils fame and celebrity as a means of promoting Sinsara and her works, the complaint alleges.

In a telephone interview Wednesday evening, Sinsara denied the allegations and said she suspects the lawsuit stems from her dispute with Neils girlfriend, Rain Hannah.

This is not a Vince thing, Sinsara said. This is a Rain Hannah thing.

Sinsara said she gave Neil the password for his Twitter account when he asked for it, but he never asked for the password to his Facebook account.

The only social media account he really uses is Twitter, Sinsara said. The account has more than 330,000 followers.

Sinsara said she gave the Facebook password to Slaughter bassist Dana Strum, Neils tour manager, but refused to give it to Hannah out of concern for Neil.

She said Neil never paid her to manage his social media accounts. Instead, she said, he agreed to help promote her as a social media strategist.

He held up his end of the agreement, Sinsara said.
