Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.
A lot of the older rockstars from back in the “everyone was doing it” days seem to not have been affected by MeToo. It’s bizarre, to say the least.
“… but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So we had sex one more time …”
😂
In for a penny…
If they went after every musician who banged an underage girl on a tour bus, you could put a pro rock band together in every penitentiary.
Then you could have a battle of the bands between rival prisons, which exposes a gambling ring among the guards and wardens, who are trying to rig the results, and in the distraction there’s a prison break, and they escape to freedom over snow covered mountains, led by a friendly singing nun with a guitar…
But I digress. I meant to say, everyone was doing it back then.
It’s only good PR keeping most of these people out of the news for banging kids in the 70s and 80s.
But it’s only really been heavily frowned upon in the last 25 years or so. I never even heard the word paedophile until about 2000 or so, when Sarah Payne got raped and murdered. And I wasn’t the only one. The word was so new to people in the UK, that a paediatrician got attacked by mistake.
Way to excuse pedophilia, and when you say back then, it’s not the fucking middle ages where no laws existed against it.
No the dude is attracted to underage girls, she was 14, that is a kid. He fucked a kid and decided to do that again. And bare in mind “back then”, where make up was not promoted to kids, so they actually look like kids. Eat shit bro
where make up was not promoted to kids
WTF, are you from the middle ages? Or, like, live under a rock? “Back then” was the late 80s or early 90s - a fourteen year old that ran away from home to bang a rock star was absolutely wearing make-up.
What? Children have been wearing makeup since the seventies, at least.
we had sex one more time
💀
I’m was a casual RHCP fan until that book came out, I own a couple albums.
Haven’t been able to listen to them since. It’s just lost its appeal when it’s now associated with that attitude in my brain.
I don’t get how people can ‘seperate the art from the artist’. I get that it’s potentially a valid attitude, but my brain just doesn’t work that way. Same with Jackson after Leaving Neverland.
IMHO “separate the art from the artist” only applies to criticism of art. Not to consuming the works especially in today’s world where artists get paid by the stream. Like saying you like the song “I believe I can fly” is separating the art from the artist. But if you listen to that song on Spotify you straight up give R Kelly and his beneficiaries, who have condoned his behavior for years, money. So at that point the artist isn’t separated anymore.
If he admitted to this in a book, imagine the shit he’s done that he hasn’t come out yet. Ugh.
Ever since i saw that interview of them where they tried to grope and fuck that lady on the air, i was so disgusted that i would never listen to them again. Not that i really did in a long time, but that killed my last desire to care for them at all.
This dude has dated more underage girls than I have fingers. Why do people continue to look the other way?
same way they excuse brad pitts wierd age limit of 25. hes more than likely wanted younger girls.
Leonardo DiCaprio (51), whose girlfriend is 27.
And come the fuck on. I’m a little grossed out on a personal level (as someone who is “only” 40) at being in a relationship with someone that’s 27. To me we’d be culturally different enough that it would probably bother me.
Though that’s probably less of a factor when the culture you’ve been in for decades is the Hollywood lifestyle, unlike the average person who predominantly hangs around with people close to themselves in ages.
The reality is that they’re both consenting adults and can do whatever the hell they want.
Fucking a 14 year old is not even in the same universe as fucking a 27 year old. What are you smoking?
DiCaprio clearly finds women in their mid 20s attractive. Newsflash: most 51 year olds will be attracted to an attractive 27 year old.
I’ve never quite understood the anger at DiCaprio over this. Women in their 20s are not children. They have brains. They are more than capable of consenting.
Leonardo DiCaprio fyi
It’s within the realm of possibility!
LOL, that disorder would keep him from answering which one of those women was your waitress, but not was your waitress 14.
It can make it harder to estimate the age of a person (I say as a person that also struggles with faces). But yeah most people don’t do those estimations based on face only, especially if you’re faceblind. I don’t know anything about Brad Pitt though so no comment on that lmao
Is Flea still cool tho?
I heard he’s a fucking Nihilist.
And a street racer.
What a coward.
that would upset him, if he gave a fuck…
How many 20th century rock stars didn’t turn out to be horrible abusers?
Alice Cooper
Dio.
The rest of the band isn’t a whole lot better:
Then, Balzary and Smith jumped into the crowd. Balzary picked up the woman and began to spin her around on his shoulders, while Smith pulled her bathing suit to one side and began to slap her bottom, Grasso said. Officials said Balzary got on top of the woman, asked her to perform a sex act, then began to simulate the act.

God damn it, I was hoping I could at least still like smith
Did I really need another reason to hate that band?
Yikes on bikes.
having sex with an underage girl twice is bad enough but the fact that he, as a famous person, wrote about it in a book because he knew there would be no reprecussions for him…
He wrote that autobiography when the band was still in its prime, and about 20 years before the metoo movement. That part of the autobiography did raise some eyebrows but for the most part the world looked the other way. Just like everyone looked the other way when Steven Tyler, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis etc all did similar & worse things with minors.
Wait what did David Bowie do?
Just after he died a famous groupie whose name I can’t recall claimed to have been involved in a threesome with Bowie when she was underage. IIRC the third party in the threesome who was another groupie also claimed the first groupie wasn’t there, so who knows.
I’d like to know too.
We demand the Bowie Files.
Unless the “victim” comes foward and reports him of rape its unlikely anything will happen.
Yea, I think that part is the worst. The fact that he still talks about it nonchalantly is gross.
He does not still talk about it. For years if it’s ever mentioned in interviews he prefers not to talk about it because he says he’s already said enough. He regrets he ever mentioned it in his autobiography.
He regrets that he mentioned it?
I am sorry I confessed to a sex! Leave me alone!
*yeah, not yea or nay. It isn’t a vote.
Topic aside, the page break is comedy gold.
Without the cooperation of the victim, there’s likely little law enforcement can do about this. If she doesn’t want him prosecuted, that’s likely that.
She’s 14. I don’t know about back then, but these days, she wouldn’t have much to say about it if there’s corroborating evidence.
BTW, what’s the statute of limitations on statutory rape?
Depends on the State.
I’m not sure which tour this was, but they’ve only played two live shows in Baton Rouge, so the relevant state is either Kentucky or Louisiana. In Kentucky, there’s no statute of limitations on statutory rape, and in Louisiana the statute of limitations runs out 30 years after the victim’s 18th birthday, which would have been in like 2018
To my understanding, that is only true for civil offenses, not criminal ones. Rape is a criminal offense pretty much everywhere, so cooperation of the victim isn’t necessary to prosecute, especially with a confession on a silver platter like that.
Then why hasn’t he been prosecuted? I can’t imagine any DA giving up such an easy win.
Going after celebrities is bad PR. That is literally why they don’t go after these kinds of cases, turns out political authorities are also just shitty people that only care about covering their own asses.
Is it actually bad PR? I don’t get a visceral reaction to the thought of police arresting a celebrity. If people revel in celebrity tabloids, I can’t see them taking their side over the police.
