Last year, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler became the target of a lawsuit dating back to the ’70s. The legendary frontman released his memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You,” in 2004. Tyler’s book included a passage in which the Aerosmith singer comments that he “almost took a teen bride,” adding, “her parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour with me.”
Court documents obtained by Rolling Stone allege that Tyler convinced the mother of Julia Holcomb (now Julia Misley) to grant him guardianship when she was just 16-years-old, and that she lived with him and engaged in a sexual relationship with the singer between 1973 and 1976.
Earlier this week, Rolling Stone reported that a judge said Misley was beyond the two-year statute of limitations for her claims. The judge struck that portion of her lawsuit, but is still allowing her to pursue distress damages based on the alleged incidents.
Tyler said their relationship was consensual, and also claims he had immunity as her legal guardian when the allegations occurred, using a portion of her own claims against her.
