The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office has decided not to file against Richie Sambora after investigating allegations that he recently threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend and one-time business partner, Nikki Lund.

According to TMZ, investigators determined that the supposed threats were part of a big misunderstanding between Lund and her publicist.

TMZ reports that Lund went to the police because her publicist told her that a friend had said Sambora had threatened to throw acid in Lund’s face.

However, prosecutors in the case revealed that the publicist told investigators Lund misunderstood him when he warned her that certain “bad things” could go down during a messy breakup.

Lund also had claimed that Sambora had pointed a gun at her and abused her physically while they were going out, she didn’t report the incidents after they occurred, according to the L.A. County D.A. office’s investigation.

The prosecutors noted that emails between Sambora and Lund seemed to support Richie’s claim that the accusations stemmed from bad feelings over the rocker’s decision to pull out of a planned business venture with his ex.

According to an article last month in the New York Daily News, Sambora and Lund, a fashion designer, launched the Nikki Rich clothing line last year and had been planning to open a boutique, but Richie pulled out of the business this past February.

The two had dated for about 10 years after the guitarist split with his wife, Heather Locklear, but Sambora recently began a relationship with Australian rock guitarist Orianth.
