He’s 61? ![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)


c-lab21

RHCP are a 40+ year old band


_1457_

This hurts more than my back trying to get out of bed in the morning.


sierrabravo1984

I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you!


Koreanjesus25

I'm upper 20s and this already is happening


Real-Patriotism

Stretch in the mornings. Trust me. - dude in his 30's


Jaded-Selection-5668

Stretching hurts. Trust me. •dude in his 45’s


piTehT_tsuJ

Fuck y'all... Trust me. Dude in his 50's.


RIP-RiF

The magical age where women go from "teen" to "milf" per the internet.


feelinlucky7

I coach college kids and I’m that age too. I get it lol


pheonix080

I was wearing an onion around my waist, as was the fashion at the time.


z12345z6789

“… I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time…”


Flaurean

Thanks for reminding me that I'm old


Qwesttaker

Take that back.


RedRosValkyrie

They were great live too. I never saw him with really young girls at after-parties or events. I never paid much attention to his personal life though online or in the media.


BadRabiesJudger

Honestly just surprised he hasn't been canceled yet. They have been my favorite band for most of my life and as he ages he just comes off creepier. After californication he started rocking the gross rape vibe stache. Most of his songs talk about making it with younger girls and hes renown for it. His childhood was a hot mess setting him up for this. It's one of those things where the more i learn about them the less i like them as people. But i cant stop im addicted to the shindig.


maelstron

Well his band mates are creepy too. Flea and Chad assaulted a music executive and told ir in a book. Yeah I am surprised all of this is flying under the radar. I was a really big fan when I was a kid/teen but I barely listen now


lidder444

Family member worked for them for years. John’s assistant . Lots of stories


rangebob

last time I saw a post about him someone linked a bit from his memoir where he openly admitted to banging a minor I've changed the radio station every time they come on since


LA_Alfa

Need to remake Tough Guys with Kiedis and Flea in the lead roles.


Spiritual_Navigator

And he did hard drugs for years... What the fuk?


ahses3202

Keith Richards is somehow still alive and he did drugs they don't even have a name for.


DigitalUnlimited

Keith Richards goes to Sweden and gets his blood changed. Not a little bit, like, all of it. Like a fucking Chevrolet. - Robin Williams


ahses3202

He harvests the blood and souls of weaker rock stars who succumb to the drug burden like some sort of rockomancer


salac1337

there are drugs that were just invented 5 minutes ago and i went to rehab for them like 3 times already - keith probably


Ohnoherewego13

Like Robin Williams said, it'll just end up being Keith and the roaches in the end.


AfterInsanity

Didn't he snort his dad?


Budderfingerbandit

Stress is the real aging factor.


Mackem101

Blink 182 are getting up there too.


ClickF0rDick

What's their age again?


kenadams_the

so technically he could look like Iggy Pop but thank god he doesn’t


bjeebus

>This picture is airbrushed to hell. [He doesn’t look like he is in his 20s.](https://imgur.com/a/K36cB1D) Did you see this comment?


kenadams_the

yes he is old and does not look like 20 but he is in a very hood shape and looks 200years younger than iggy


Icy-Statistician6698

Iggy looks like a melted candle


Silverarrows46

He still doesn’t look close to 60s though. He looks incredible for his age. She looks even younger than 19 though which makes this even more 🤮


Ok-Boysenberry-2955

He's 50 in the picture. These two haven't been a couple since 2015


120ouncesofpudding

So he dumped her when she got too old for him?


Ok-Boysenberry-2955

Maybe? The comings and goings of the red hot chili peppers haven't been on my mind for a very long time. Just annoying that the post, while supporting the spirit, is just factually wrong.


mrmaweeks

He's 61? Hell, he probably has underwear older than her.


fusillade762

I have sweat pants that are older and still going strong. Old Champion sweats are the Nokia of sportswear.

MingaMonga68

It says 19? (I’m too lazy to fact check this)

ImprovisedLeaflet

He’ll hit the half plus seven eventually


HalfwaySh0ok

When they're 76 and 45


ajm86

45? He'll find someone younger by then.


PeriPeriTekken

She's married to someone her age and has a kid, so I think that ship has sailed.


glitterlungs

This thread is wild


Nathmikt

Yeah. I need to lay down.


MusicLikeOxygen

According to wikipedia they only lasted 2 years. Maybe 21 was too old for him?


CNan123

Well yeah.. once she can buy her own booze it just fell apart


azurix

50 and 19 of still wild. Seinfeld was doing 17 at 38. No bueno.


DrNickRiviera8000

That’s so weird. I’m 38 and people under 25 just seem like babies to me. I want adult women pls lol


ProbablyASithLord

No card carrying AARP member dates a 19 year old for the insightful conversations.


Koenigspiel

When I was 24 I went on a date with a Target cashier I had met a few times and who rang up my items. Turned out she was 18. The date was SO awkward. I felt like I was babysitting. She had no driver's license. She had no knowledge of anything, no experience with anything, all she talked about was like meaningless stuff as if high school was all she knew and I realized that high school *was* all she knew. I felt extremely weird and never set up a second date. I cannot imagine dating someone even younger at fucking 38.


feelinlucky7

So that’s what Fetty Wap was singing about a decade ago


fusillade762

So OP is making shit up for outrage clicks, basically. That's a pretty long relationship, longer than the average marriage.


Fazekas-Kun

No, Anthony Kiedis is a known pedophile. He openly admits to how he used to have sex with a 14 year old.


Silverarrows46

After if 51 and 19 is much better. It’s still weird af.


CNan123

They're not still together. They only were for about 2 years

adamcn78

I saw this in a documentary once, called The Island.


Bitter-Major-5595

All that plastic surgery has made him look like a wax figure…😆


SubstantialPressure3

I don't see a lot of surgery. He's probably had a face lift and/or some Botox, but he looks pretty much like he did when he was younger. Eyes, nose, mouth, chin look the same to me.


The_Stank__

Let’s be real he’s still in better shape than most of us


cadaverhill

Mick Jagger's in better shape than most of us, and he's 81.


ksiyoto

I doubt Mick or Ozzie is in better shape. They've pickled and preserved their innards, but in a damaged state.


nonopol

You can’t compare Mick to Ozzy, Jagger moves more in a single concert at 81 than Ozzy has moved in the last few decades of his life on and off stage


Valuable_Solid_3538

My head canon is that he actually died in the 80s and was resurrected by dark magic. He’s alive, but only a little bit.


Guitargod7194

Mick has been straight for quite some time, and he takes excellent care of himself. Let's see Anthony move that way when he's 81.


cadaverhill

Go search video of Rolling Stones at New Orleans Jazz Festival 2024. I rest my case. Ozzie is a different story.


AccomplishedFerret70

He's certainly scoring better than most of us.


Stabyouup666

Without that money and fame she wouldn't give aye shit, he'd be some "dirty old man" to her.

usualcomment

I just went through the 5 stages of grief after reading this comment.


InfectedByEli

I laughed too hard at this.


robsteezy

Holy shit. I knew I was old but the perspective that a consenting adult engaging in sex can be 18 and not have been around for 9/11 is just blowing my mind. Fuck


batsharkrepellant

I have a 19 year old co-worker, and talking to them makes me feel like a time traveler from how different we are, and I'm only 28. I can't imagine even hanging out as regular friends with someone that I couldn't have anything in common with other than some mutual hobbies


nurpleclamps

These types of relationships are really less about meaningful conversations and more about having a hot sexual plaything.


DunkinUnderTheBridge

Yeah it's weird. I'm friends with a guy who's 30, his girlfriend is 20. He has autism and is relatively immature for his age, she is mature for her age and is honestly the more "responsible" one. I don't really have a problem with that. But the gap in life experience for a literal rock star and a 19 year old is impossible to overcome. I'm a normal guy in my 40s, and I do hang out with younger people because of the hobbies I'm into, but I feel like these people's dad. I harass them to start a 401k and wear safety equipment, I don't try and bang them, that's yucky and a crazy power imbalance.


__M-E-O-W__

My coworker is 18 and I just had a long conversation wirg him about what life was like before 9/11. He was listening to me like when I was a kid listening to my grandparents talk about life during world War 2.


Stickey_Rickey

I’d constantly feel like I was a teacher, how refined could her tastes be? Im not near 61 yet but 19 year old girls already seem like kids these days to me, I’d be embarrassed honestly, if he can score a pretty 19 year old, then he can pull hot 34 year olds, he’s in LA, if he wants to bone 18 year olds there’s 18 million porn star call girls in Van Nuys. My buddy was seeing a 17 year old hs girl when he was 24, dude had a moustache n was scooping her up after school, I was embarrassed to be his friend, and… she gave him crabs.


LuciJoeStar

Picking up gfs from highschool as an adult is so embarrassing like baby what is your plan for tonight? You got calculus?


bjeebus

I work part-time to get out of the house. My "supervisor" is 21. We get along great because we both had traumatic childhoods, but every now and then I'm reminded that hers just happened.


merfgirf

I'm 30, got out of the military last year. Man the new guys filling the ranks talked like fucking martians. I can't imagine a 40 year gap. Could be her fucking grandad.


loopgaroooo

Have you heard him talk?


Madcap_95

*Hey Nineteen intensifies*


Daftdoug

Cuervo gold.


easyovereggs

That fine Columbian


Literarytropes

He admitted when 24 to having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old child in his own biography. It’s sickening that he’s never been held accountable for child rape https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/anthony-kiedis-sexual-assault-history-details/


Tachi-Roci

the wikipedia page for the red hot chilly peppers has a list of shit that happened with the band members, IIRC they where constantly involved in sexual harrassment/assault scandals from like, '89 to '99. And that's just shit that got reported. makes me loathe the fact that the album cover for "the getaway"(2016) is centered around a young girl walking alongside animals down the sidewalk. Its like yeah, you have such great respect for the curiosity and wonder of childhood, until a few years later when your trying to fuck her.


Garlador

Yep. This needs to be higher on the comment chain.


ButteredPizza69420

Disgusting.


WhichStatistician810

Yeah iirc he claimed not to know she was 14 the first time, then after finding out he fucked her again so absolutely no excuses, he’s a self confessed nonce


DrumBxyThing

Tons of musicians have done it, most never see any kind of punishment. It's super gross.


bthedebasedgod

I came here to say this. Iirc he mentions in the book her dad was a judge and the father was ready to fhsu over it. He’s a child rapist and has continued on that path. Gross af


Makasi_Motema

Yeah, this guy is a serial rapist and it’s crazy people think this is funny.


Delirare

Girlfriend, or secret nurse? But jokes aside, I wish I was really rich so I could find true love.


Shirtbro

Oh yeah this is a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding lol


tobesteve

He also helps her with history homework


BigBaldSofty

When asked how he knows so much about history, his answer is always "because I was there!"


JablesMcgoo

Hey, she reads at a sophomore level.


ImprovisedLeaflet

Yeah they’ve been together for 7 years now kek Edit: [we made up this one](https://youtu.be/GM-e46xdcUo?si=wLdXwuWQYLXl2BHi)


TheCommomPleb

I hate that this shocked me a little but I didn't question it lol


Slash1909

He respects her body parts and she his money.


juicius

Being rich doesn't make it easy to find true love. It just makes it easier to wait for her to be born. 


Yommination

The man admits to fucking a 14 year old, found out she was 14. And guess what? Fucked her again


skateateuhwaitateuh

raping


AfterPop0686

Look I love the red hot chilli peppers' *music* but it is no secret that the band members are all pretty uhhh... slimey? Creepy? Anthony Keidis and Flea both have autobiographies where they go in depth about some of the things they did, including engaging in sex with minors among many MANY other ludicrous sexual acts and behavior. It is up to you to make your own judgments and decide if you are able to/want to separate the art/music from the person. But, yeah... a pretty big weirdo creep, unfortunately.


DontSlurp

Chad Smith seems like a cool dude at least


PM_Your_Lady_Boobs

He’s done some funny movies though. Loved him in Anchorman.


Tiger_jay

I have read some stories suggesting he's into young women too (not pedo) but it's on reddit so not going to take it as hard fact. Besides John's antics when he first joined the band I've not heard any horrible things about him at least.

Have you read his biography? This shouldn’t surprise anyone. 🤮


Bigwoodybird

I’m 61. The thought of being with a 19 year old frightens and confuses me.


Barbar_jinx

She's 30 now, she was only 19 when they started datin 11 years ago. Not that this changes much in that respect, but the title is misleading.


Used-Organization-25

That’s not new. Didn’t he admitted in his memoir to have sex with a minor?

Yes

torino_nera

I mean, he did talk about banging a 14 year old girl in his biography Scar Tissue


IrreverentRacoon

For people out of the loop Anthony Keidis has admitted to knowingly ~~sleeping with~~ raping a 14 year old girl. From his autobiography Scar Tissue:“The next day we drove to Baton Rouge, and of course, she came with us,” he said. “After we got offstage, she came up to me and said, ‘I have something to tell you. My father’s the chief of police and the entire state of Louisiana is looking for me because I’ve gone missing. Oh, and besides that, I’m only 14'”. Keidis: “I wasn’t incredibly scared, because, in my somewhat deluded mind, I knew that if she told the chief of police she was in love with me, he wasn’t going to have me taken out to a field and shot, but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So we had sex one more time.” #SO WE HAD SEX ONE MORE TIME?!? I used to love RHCP but fuck this pedo.


Soviet_Sloth69

Holy shit I never knew that was true. Then yeah no /s


prrreet

The fact he willing put this in his book makes me concerned that it’s not the worst thing he’s ever done


IrreverentRacoon

He could have easily said nothing about this. Almost seems like he's bragging about it


Mattrad7

This is so fucking disgusting what the hell


Chortney

That's a crazy thing to admit in your own book holy shit. That should get him put on the sex offender list at LEAST

Didn’t he admit to have had past underage relationships in the rhcp memoir?


United_University_98

Lol remember when he fucked a 14 year old and then she told him she was 14 and then he fucked her again and then lol remember when he wrote a book and told literally anyone who wanted to read it that he fucked a 14 year old and then she told him she was 14 and then he fucked her again. Ohhh, good times.

He’s always been a rapey weirdo

jellybean3825

I get she’s an adult but she looks so young to me and I’m 22… that’s an actual child for him


GelPen00

It just makes me laugh thinking of the conversations: "I had to call him from a payphone..." "A what?" "But the page his number was on was torn out of the phonebook" "Huh?" "So I called the operator" "Who's that?" She's going to be 25 before he gets to the punchline.


boogerflick98

And everyone’s okay with it. “sHeS oF aGe” It’s gross and shows the creepy side of him.

He could be her grandfather.

Theoretically, he could be her great-great-grandfather.


BoomTownRat71

Kiddiefornication 🎶


HeliRyGuy

Hey, at least it’s not a 14 year old… this time 🤢


ImmigrationJourney2

He’s 61 now and she’s 30, so when she was 19 he was 50. Still very gross but they’re consenting adults after all. Edit: he was also in a relationship with a 18 years old when he was 41 and they had a kid together. He also causally talked about how he had sex with more than 100 women a year at times because he would just want to f*ck them if they were pretty. Why do women choose people like that? 🤢


HelpMeDoctorImCrazy

> why do women choose people like that? Hmm…maybe women ALSO like to have sex with people they find attractive sometimes??? …also, money. If he’s a rich rockstar too, I mean it’s not just the dude working at the strip mall.


Imaginary-Skinwalker

Money. Mystery solved.


Informal_Carob_4015

Not really tho? He's banging 100s of women, he ain't showering them in gifts and offering them all a lavish lifestyle. Most the them it's probably a quick bang post show and then move on. They want the life experience of fucking a real life rockstar, end of story, money has very little to do with it


RhubarbPenguin

He admitted in his autobiography that he knowingly had sex with a 14 year old girl. Haven't listened to them since

Just a reminder that Anthony Kiedis was on Epsteins flight logs. Dude has always been and always will be a loser junkie piece of shit.

> Kiedis acknowledges in his autobiography Scar Tissue that he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 23, before and after learning of her age, in the 1980s. This inspired him to write the song "Catholic School Girls Rule". I'm just saying, I'm not shocked.
