## Summary

Anthony Kiedis’s autobiography describes him having sex with a 14-year-old fan after meeting her backstage at a concert and learning her age. The account raises questions about why his admission did not prompt greater public or industry scrutiny, given his status as a prominent rock singer.

The article also recounts Kiedis’s difficult childhood, including early exposure to drugs and adult relationships, while stressing that this background does not excuse his conduct. It says he began dating 16-year-old Ione Skye when he was about 24, and that another encounter described in his memoir inspired the Red Hot Chili Peppers song “Catholic School Girls Rule”.
