58008TIL that Anthony Kiedis of The Red Hot Chili Peppers is a self-confessed child molester, according to his autobiography 'Scar Tissue'
HappySkullsplitterDoes the book say how old Kiedis was at the time?
Edit: Seems like important context
SpermHowitzerKiedis was 20 when the band was formed, so if they were touring when this story took place he must have been well into his 20’s, banging a junior high school girl.
Found it
Kiedis acknowledges in his autobiography Scar Tissue that he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 23, before and after learning of her age, in the 1980s
Also:
Kiedis had a relationship with actress Ione Skye in the late 1980s starting when he was 24 and she was 16. Skye split with Kiedis after a few years and eventually married Ad Rock of the Beastie Boys in 1992. Skye, who was 18 in 1989, was supposed to appear as the cover model on the Chili Peppers’ 1989 album, Mother’s Milk; however, the label felt she looked “a little young” she said so they used a different model.
In Skye’s 2025 memoir Say Everything, Skye says that when she was 17 years old, Kiedis got her pregnant and that Kiedis paid for her abortion
And…
Lush singer/guitarist Miki Berenyi confirmed in several interviews that the second verse of their hit 1996 song “Ladykillers” was about Kiedis
