The glittering facade of rock and roll’s greatest era has been shattered by a lawsuit so dark it threatens to destroy a legend forever. A bombshell legal filing alleges that in 1975, at the height of his fame, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler assaulted a teenage model in a New York City apartment—forcibly kissing her and dry-humping her until she was left with a life-long physical injury. This isn’t just a scandal from the past; it’s a horrifying account of abuse that has haunted the victim for nearly five decades, now exploding into the open with the power to rewrite the entire history of one of music’s most iconic bands and bring a rock god to his knees.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler sued over alleged child sex assault in 1970s - ABC  News

Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has been accused of sexually assaulting a teen model in 1975 by kissing and dry-humping her, according to a lawsuit filed against him.

The 75-year-old singer is alleged to have assaulted Jeanne Bellino, a former child model, who claims she met Tyler in New York when she was 17 and he was 27.

According to Rolling Stone, the cause of action listed in the suit is gender-motivated violence, and the plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages.

Bellino alleges that she met Tyler after a friend had arranged for them to meet Aerosmith at the Warwick Hotel in Manhattan.

While walking down Sixth Avenue, Bellino claims Tyler forced her into a phone booth and ‘stuck his tongue down her throat’.

The suit alleges that Bellino had asked Tyler a question about a song lyric, which frustrated him, leading him to force her into the booth.

It reads: ‘While holding her captive, Tyler stuck his tongue down her throat, and put his hands upon her body, her breasts, her buttocks, and her genitals, moving and removing clothing and pinning her against the wall of the phone booth.

‘As Tyler was mauling and groping Plaintiff, he was humping her pretending to have sex with Plaintiff.

‘Others stood by outside the phone booth laughing and as passersby watched and witnessed, nobody in the entourage intervened.’

Bellino alleges that she weighed about 115 pounds at the time and this was her first sexual experience.

The suit continues: ‘Tyler’s penis was erect and it was evident to her as he rubbed it against her that he was not wearing underwear and wearing thin pants.

‘Plaintiff fought back and struggled to be free but Tyler restrained her.’

Eventually, the suit says, Bellino was able to free herself from the phone booth and decided to stay with the group as she was relying on her friend for transportation.

After the group returned to the Warwick Hotel, Tyler allegedly forcibly kissed Bellino and grinded up against her.

The suit claims that after Bellino continued to resist, Tyler allegedly whispered into her ear that he was ‘going in my room to do something quick’ and that he would call her to his room after.

Bellino claims she was sobbing and shaking and Tyler had allegedly called down to the lobby to have an associate tell her she could go to his room.

She claims that she was afraid that she ‘couldn’t talk and was paralyzed’ and shook her head at the associate before making for an exit.

Bellino claims a doorman ‘flung her’ into a cab outside the hotel and when she returned home she told her sister all the allegations.

In her suit, Bellino claims she has ‘suffered and will continue  to suffer, great pain of mind and body, severe and permanent emotional distress, physical manifestations of emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation, physical, personal & psychological injuries.’

The suit also claims that she was hospitalized and medicated as a result of the alleged incident and still requires medication.

This suit comes nearly a year after Julia Misley, formerly known as Julia Holcomb, filed a similar lawsuit against Tyler, accusing him of sexual assault on her when she was a teenager.

Misley alleges the music legend used his fame and status to ‘groom, manipulate, exploit and sexually assault’ her.

She also claims he plied her with drugs after gaining guardianship from her mother so he could take her on tour with him.

In his memoir ‘Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?’ Tyler wrote he ‘almost took a teen bride’ after falling in love with a woman Holcomb alleges is her.

‘She was sixteen, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn’t a hair on it,’ he wrote in the book, which names the girl as ‘Diana’.

Another extract reads: ‘I went and slept at her parents’ house for a couple of nights and her parents fell in love with me, signed papers 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 said the publication ‘retraumatized’ her and her family, saying in a statement: ‘I am grateful for this new opportunity to take action and be heard.’

The complaint states that Misley met Tyler in 1973 after attending an Aerosmith concert in Oregon.

She was then invited backstage and later to Tyler’s hotel room where she accuses the musician of sexually abusing her.

He is alleged to have then flown her out to an Aerosmith concert in Seattle where he sexually assaulted her again.

The following year, Tyler met with Misley’s mother and ‘convinced her to sign over the guardianship of her daughter to him.’

While on the road, he is accused of plying the teenager with alcohol and drugs and of impregnating Misley and coercing her to get an abortion.

In April of this year, Tyler told the court that he was Misley’s legal guardian at the time, giving him immunity from related laws, past and present.

The Massachusetts native requested the court dismiss the case in full.

Attorneys for Misley said that the rock singer was ‘gaslighting’ their client and the court with his defense.
