While the singer was going through all these, his band has been supportive. Always canceling their shows to await his recovery.
This time around, Steven is in a deep mess that even his Aerosmith band might not be able to get him out of.
Steven Tyler – Accused Of Sexually Assaulting A Minor
A lady recently came out to allege that the singer sexually assaulted her back when she was just 16 years old. The lady filed a lawsuit against Steven for sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit was filed through California legislation. According to the woman whose name is Julia Holcomb, she met Steven in 1973, and they both stayed together from 1973 through 1975 before she left him.

Julia said in the lawsuit that she first met Steven in one of his shows. There, he invited her to his hotel room where he asked her what she was doing alone at night. Julia said they discussed her age but even after knowing her age, Steven “performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct upon” her.
After the sexual act, Steven personally bought her a plane ticket to his next Aerosmith show in Seattle since she was a minor. She went on to say that after the Seattle show, Steven performed another sexual act on her. The following morning, he flew her back to Portland.
Julia alleged that Steven met her mother and convinced her into making him her guardian so that he can take her on tours. She said that Steven promised her mom he would enroll her in school and keep an eye on her, but Steven “did not meaningfully follow through on these promises and instead continued to travel with, assault and provide alcohol and drugs to Plaintiff.”
When she finally left Steven was in 1975 after she got pregnant for him and he insisted she aborts the child.
Julia said she was pregnant with Steven’s son but the abortion took place after an apartment fire that made her inhale smoke. After the abortion, she left Steven and joined a Catholic faith where she’s now an anti-abortion activist.

Steven Tyler – Admitted To These Allegations In His Memoir
While Julia never mentioned Tyler’s name in the lawsuit, she has been open about her relationship with the singer in the past. In Steven’s recent book, he mentioned he “almost took a teen bride”
Steven admitted that “her parents fell in love with me, signed a 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.”
In Steven’s book, he described his relationship with the minor, Steven wrote as though his relationship with the lady was a romantic one. “She was sixteen, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn’t a hair on it,” wrote Steven.
“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 a cute skinny little tomboy dressed up as Little Bo Peep. She was my heart’s desire, my partner in crimes of passion.”
Speaking of why she filed the lawsuit, Julia said, “I want this action to expose an industry that protects celebrity offenders, to cleanse and hold accountable an industry that both exploited and allowed me to be exploited for years, along with so many other naïve and vulnerable kids and adults.”
Julia says in the suit that she has moved on with her life but was made to relieve her past after Steven released his memoir, which was done without her consent and approval.
