Last month, a judge dismissed most of an assault case against Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. The case dates back to the ’70s, and Tyler was accused of grooming and impregnating Julia Misley when she was 16-years-old and he was in his mid-20s.
A charge of “emotional distress,” however, still remains, but Tyler’s attorneys want Misley to be questioned about her therapy records. Court filings obtained by TMZ question if Misley’s “emotional distress” stems from marital issues separate from anything to do with the Aerosmith frontman.
Tyler spoke of their interaction in his book, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” Tyler wrote: “She was 16, she knew how to nasty … with my bad self being twenty-six and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her. … She was my heart’s desire, my partner in crimes of passion. … I was so in love I almost took a teen bride. I went and slept at her parent’s house for a couple of nights and her parent’s fell in love with me, signed 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.”
Misley’s lawyers say Tyler’s legal council is trying to intimidate her and her spouse. They filed a separate opposition saying that Tyler’s team made inappropriate remarks “during prior oppositions and engaging in conduct that crossed the line with witnesses and opposing counsel.” They go on to say that any therapy and/or marriage counseling has nothing to do with Misley’s case against Tyler.
