Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland and Queen Kwong singer Carré Callaway were married from 2016 to 2019. The couple appeared on HGTV’s “Sight Unseen” but finalized their split in 2020.
According to Rolling Stone, Borland claims that Callaway has violated the terms of their divorce. The agreement says “neither party may make speeches, give interviews, or make public statements that defame the other party.”
In a petition, Borland claims that Callaway went against that when she detailed that one of their pet cats passed away following their breakup.
“We had seven or eight cats of our own,” Callway said in a 2022 Bandcamp Daily article. “When everything fell apart, one thing that made me realize things were really over was his desire to not only get rid of me, but the cats too. There was a disabled one called Daisy. She died a week after he left because he was the only one who could care for her. That’s the hardest thing to get over, honestly… I still have nightmares about it.”
Borland’s petition says that Callway’s statements “intentionally do what Ms. Callaway was expressly prohibited from doing. They adversely affect Mr. Borland’s public image and reputation that he has built.”
Rolling Stone reached out to Callway who responded: “The TRUTH CANNOT BE DEFAMATORY. This action is simply a tactic to bully, intimidate, and silence me. This is an attempt to financially ruin me, exhaust my physical well-being, and denigrate my credibility with the explicit intent of causing harm to my career.”
She continued, “This is an overall attack on freedom of speech and artistic expression. What does it mean for indie musicians like myself —who can’t afford to even tour these days — to have to worry about fighting frivolous lawsuits? What does it mean for women who are already afraid to tell their stories? … For journalists if their words can be spun to silence the very women they’re trying to give a platform to?”
