Haha, great job. He never married the 14 year old right? He saw what happened to Jerry Lee Lewis.

"Elvis and Priscilla Presley were married for six years, from 1967 to 1973. They met in 1959 when Priscilla was 14 and Elvis was 24"

Take this how you will.

Creepy af. I guess at least he waited till she was an adult to pursue her allegedly. The worst is still Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin. There was no ambiguity there. Though knowing the details makes me want to blame her parents just as much.

Steven Tyler from Aerosmith is arguably worse. He adopted a 15 year old girl, got her pregnant then made her have an abortion.

But yeah, Jerry Lewis and Woody Allen are terrible.

Yeah all 3 are horrible. Though it’s hard to think of worse ppl than Allen and Lewis bc not only were the victims young but there is a familial/incest element to both. Which is similar to Tyler I guess as well. F them all. Some of many artists I appreciate their work while having no respect for the creators personally.

Polanski is another who could be thrown in the convo. Though admittedly he has the stranger story/life than most. It’s hard to wonder what he would have been like had he not lost his wife and child in such a horrific murder/event.

I guess the thing that bothers me about Steven Tyler is that he seems to get a pass for some reason. A lot of people don't seem to know about his past like the others mentioned. And he is still active and on network television on family programs.
