Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes has continued his run of horrendous behaviour, being hit with a restraining order for threatening to kill his former best friend.
Hughes allegedly affixed a voodoo doll with a knife through it to Andrew Vega’s gate, with a charming note that said: “Andy is next.” Gulp!
Not surprisingly, this resulted in a 100 yard restraining order being placed on Hughes.
Hughes has tarnished his reputation somewhat in the past year, after repeatedly claiming that staff at the Bataclan Theater, which housed the deadly Paris attacks, were aware of the plot hours ahead of time. He also stated that he saw “Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack.”Both of these claims are (obviously!) completely unverified.
