EDIT: Why was this post removed? 🤔
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.
Its forgivable that a 20 year old might accidentally end up in this situation, not having realised that she was only 14 until she said so…
But you know what a normal person does when they realise they just accidentally had sex with someone underage?
They take them back home to their family and apologise profusely. They don’t have sex with them a second time round! That truly is some child predator behaviour right there.
Wasn´t he on heroin back in that day? Doesn´t excuse it of course, but don´t expect any mindful behaviour that respects the physical and psycological wellbeing of anyone around them from an addict.
Edit: Yeah nah, disregard that. I just read up on his bio on Wikipedia, it´s a pattern.
Well he was already doing drugs at 12 years old because his parents were drug dealers and that shit was just around him all the time.
his dad let anthony fuck his much older girlfriend when he was 12 as well
Okay, in that case his behavior is actually an improvement over theirs. Still not good by any means but damn, what the hell.
yeah Anthony Keidis had a pretty fucked up life, theres another story of a naked Cher sleeping in a bed with Anthony, also when he was around 12
scar tissue is well worth a read regardless of how you feel about the band and Keidis. its a harrowing tale of addiction
Daaaaamn
Should have been a massive red flag when he found out she attends a catholic girls school… “Student at a catholic girls school” does not at all say “this is a fully grown adult woman” in any language. That didn’t give him any pause at all, so I’m not that surprised when a paragraph later he is explicitly told she is underage and his only real concern is getting caught by the chief of police father…
I mean those schools have 18 year olds and most classes will have at least one person who’s 19 when they graduate. A 20 year old starting a relationship with someone in those ages isn’t exactly alarming.
That’s not at all what happened here though.
Apologize profusely? I think I’d have had a heart attack and died right there and then on the spot. The word “horrified” doesn’t begin to describe it. And this ain’t even virtue signaling. I am literally just describing live what I’m feeling after having read your comment.
I would not have been able to right that wrong. I’d have been puking and fainting in the bathroom.
Edit: And yes, I’m taking “20” into consideration. When I went off to college a switch flipped in my head that said “I am an adult” and everyone younger than me is not. Some people seem to not have that switch. Kiedis defo doesn’t have it.
Edit 2: No, really, honestly, I swear I’m not one of those “He’s 40 and she’s 30?! What a pedophile” people. I mean all this. Not being overdramatic
Oh I get you. I never said I wouldn’t also be having a panic attack upon finding out what I’d accidentally just done either…
But I can with certainty tell you for damn sure that Kiedis’ reaction was the WRONG reaction to have.
Ok, what? When you were 20, how many 14 year olds did you interact with?
I can count exactly 1. It was my (ex) sister in law.
Were you a popular musician at the time too?
the only thing that’s stopping you behaving like this is that you don’t have the opportunity?
??
why does it matter that Kiedis is a popular musician?
Because popular musicians meet a lot more people than your average person. Did you even read the preceding comment??
A lot of people in this thread are self- reporting without realizing.
Pretty fucked up accusation. You might want to read the rest of the coversation I had.
Lol yep
Heaps. I part timed as a bouncer/medic at a club when I was 21 and there were heaps of girls below 16/18 trying to get in. Actually one of the reasons I was hired was because I normally used to be fairly good at recognising these and their fake IDs and as the youngest member of the team at least some of them as younger sisters of my friends.
And nevertheless I had two occasions were it was a “close call”. Once I chatted with a girl who stayed till the end and she,well, was, pushing to go to my place - until she made a mistake (can’t remember what she said) and I asked her about her age again(I had before and of course she claimed to be 19). She was indeed 14. SHIT. That was literally one day after we had the cops raid the place for minors and if they would have found her inside it would have cost us 10k at least - or our licence. (In theory in my country age of consent would have allowed “it” between us. But no. Never ever ever.YUK) That was a close. (Imagine me always shitting a brick back then and still feeling nauseated today) But would have never ever suspected her to be younger than me actually.
Other case was a girl very agressively pushing her number onto me, I was busy, so I didn’t care, but tbh, she was pretty and looked definitly 18+x. Responded for a call for medical backup, we need an ambulance to respond. Nothing drastic,just someone overly intoxicated. …next thing I can here my colleague from the ambulance screaming at someone in front of the toilets. …It was the girls mother -she worked nights and her 15 year old daughter thought it was a good idea to go out with a friend-. Funny enough my shiftleader was mortified as they had texted pretty flirty before - she had definitly made it inside a few times. (I think she claimed to be a uni freshman,which are all above 18 in my country)
(And fuck,our national IDs were so easy fake back then. Luckily that’s 20 years ago)
I am fairly sure that I never had anything going with someone younger than 16 after I turned 17, but fuck… The first one was a really close call,the second one coud have been. I would have never ever suspected their age. I am so happy that the universe did not let that happen.
Anyway: Even if someone gets tricked: Why on earth would they go for another round.
PS: Funny enough it goes the otherway around as well: A female friend of mine looks,well, like she is barely 14. She once was my trainee paramedic and I got regularly stopped by cops for letting an alleged minor drive the ambulance. (She was 20 at that time). Nowadys she is over 40, has two kids, is a chief physician and tbh, still looks bloody young and it’s often a nightmare for her with some patients.
Heaps, I played magic the gathering. Didn’t fuck any kids tho.
In my work, plenty. And I can fairly confidently say that telling someone’s age by their looks isn’t always easy.
Which is to say that it isn’t an entirely unrealistic scenario, and could be forgiven if one actually tried to remedy the situation upon learning of their mistake, rather than going for a second turn (yuck)
