What?
In which part of that song did he make it abundantly clear (for everyone to know this) that he had sex with Cher when he was 13?
Dude means his autobiography book also called Scar Tissue.

What's wrong with it, other than the misspelled name?
I'm sure there are plenty of skeletons in entertainer's closets. Don't forget about groupie culture, which still exists. I doubt people were checking IDs back then.
It's been awhile since I've heard this story, but from what I remember this was "consensual", not to say it's not statutory rape, but by the time this was revealed the statue of limitations were well over.
So those people who says the title is accurate, no, technically, it's not.
Again though, it's been awhile since I've heard about this story again, so apologies on the murkier details if this isn't accurate.
Do you not see the part where I mentioned it is statutory rape?
Yes, and I said as such if you read my comment where it says, statutory rape.

Yeah....I mean you had the 70's and 80's where rockers would just straight up write songs about having sex with underrage girls.
I thought everyone knew this (or at least I did). Isn't it in Scar Tissue?
Yep. His dad was nuts.His dad also mentioned in an interview a while back that he set up the girl his was dating at the time to have sex with Anthony when he was "12 or 13".

Yeah I want to re-read "The Dirt" but in 2018 I am sure it reads very differently.I mean you had the 70's and 80's where rockers would just straight up write songs about having sex with underrage girls.
This is a bit different though that can still be awful. She was his babysitter and knew for fact he was 13.I'm sure there are plenty of skeletons in entertainer's closets. Don't forget about groupie culture, which still exists. I doubt people were checking IDs back then.
Definitely. However, these stories are notorious as well. I've known a few men who were abused by babysitters sexually.This is a bit different though that can still be awful. She was his babysitter and knew for fact he was 13.
I can almost guarantee we don't hear about this much because back then the response was "Nice" instead of something more appropriate.
No, people want the title changed because of semantics, and I was one of them.People are really taking offense to people wanting the title of this thread to change to something like "allegedly?"
This is really nitpicky. Sure, the title isn't 100% accurate, but is that a point you really felt had to be made? She was over twice the age of someone who was underage.It's been awhile since I've heard this story, but from what I remember this was "consensual", not to say it's not statutory rape, but by the time this was revealed the statue of limitations were well over.

It's actually quite good, even with how my love for the RHCP has pretty much disintegrated since it came out.
Well, hopefully this blows up thanks to you. Shit like this is never okay, even if the victim thinks it was 'awesome'.
it was his (the father's) girlfriend at the time. apparently his father was concerned Antony was gay and so made her have sex with him.Yeah that stuff with his dad buying him a prostitute at a young age was also something.
Scar tissue is a great read.
People tended not to care when it came to underage boys. 15-16 year old being raped by a teacher was common sitcom fodder around that time. Frasier and Everybody loves Raymond both had that as a plot (2 off the top of my head having seen them recently), where the emphasis was not at all on the predatory nature of the teacher.
So a 13 year old rockstar being raped decades ago going overlooked is not at all shocking to me.
Shame, hope this gains traction, as it's something that really needs addressing.
Fucking disgusting.
I read about a similar situation with T2's John Connor ( Edward Furlong ) yesterday.
