"Musician Alleges Rape by Former Grammys Head Neil Portnow"

A musician has filed a lawsuit accusing former Grammy Awards head Neil Portnow of drugging and raping her in a New York hotel room in 2018. The lawsuit also accuses the Recording Academy of negligence in investigating her complaint. The woman, who remains anonymous, had previously corresponded with the academy about her allegations. Portnow denies the accusations, claiming they are false and motivated by the woman's demands for money and assistance with obtaining a residence visa. The Recording Academy maintains that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
