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.
“… but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So 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.
we had sex one more time
💀
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.
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.
Is Flea still cool tho?
I heard he’s a fucking Nihilist.
And a street racer.
What a coward.
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 fyi
It’s within the realm of possibility!
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?
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.
*yeah, not yea or nay. It isn’t a vote.
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!
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.
Well, mistakes were made, it’s regrettable but understandable.

Oh for fucks sake!
Do you really think there are any “rock stars” that did NOT fucked a minor?
God I hope there are
How the fuck does that excuse anything?
Yes of course there are. What a monumentally stupid thing to say.
really? I think you live in a rainbow world. Guess yoi’re a man
Yes, lots of them. Most adult men have no interest in sex with children regardless of the presence of consequences.
Most adult men are not rock stars though.
I am a woman. a lot of men don’t think 14 is children. You can hate me but I know mine and many other woman experiences in life and I’ll tell you most men woild 100% fuck a 15/16yo easy
You go from “a lot” to “most” as if they mean the same thing. They don’t.
Many enough to make someone feel it’s most, apparently. Which is an experience that shouldn’t be so readily dismissed.
So to recap: Your claim is “all rock stars are child molesters” and your proof is “how dare you question that women have bad experiences with men!”
Every woman remembers the day they turned 18 and suddenly so many adult men started showing interest.
Well glad you speak for every woman.
Someone has to do it. The comment was an obvious /s though. (And if so is yours, I’m sorry.)
Yup. It all starts at 18 not at 11/12.
I’ve talked to so many women who around the age of 14 started getting cat called and essentially mourn their childhood innocence from that moment on. It’s really sad.
14? Try 11/12.
But 17 and 354 days, no
Gotta draw the line somewhere
Seriously. I wouldn’t be surprised if rock stars in the 80s bragged about how many teen girls they fucked on tv. And then everyone watching would nod along and think “yes, of course. That is what rock stars do.”
This is just a big fucking lol of a comment.
