Steven Tyler is being accused of sexual abuse. According to Rolling Stone , the woman suing him alleges she was kissed and groped in a phone booth without her consent in 1975 when she was only 17 years old.
Jeanne Bellino was an underage model when she met the Aerosmith frontman at a party. She says she was walking with Tyler when he made a comment about the lyrics of one of his songs. Then, the musician allegedly threw her into a booth and forcibly kissed her.
Tyler then began simulating a sexual act while they were dressed, something that continued when they went to a hotel room. The young woman then fled.
In the lawsuit, Bellino claims that he still suffers the consequences of the situation to this day. Steven Tyler has not yet responded to the accusation.
This is not the first accusation against Tyler. In late 2022, the musician was accused of abusing another minor in the 1970s, forcing her to have an abortion. In the lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone, Julia Holcomb accuses Tyler of sexual abuse and assault, as well as intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
Julia recounts that Tyler convinced her mother to grant him guardianship when he was only 16 years old so they could go on tour together. The relationship took place between 1973 and 1976.
In his memoir, Steven Tyler doesn't mention names but recounts that he almost had a "teenage fiancée" and that his parents signed a custody agreement so they could stay together.
Julia says she became pregnant by Steven Tyler in 1975, at age 17, and that she had an abortion after the musician threatened to stop supporting her financially.
