Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler requested to the judge to grant him $155k from the victim who accused him of sexual abuse.
Steven Tyler stated that Julia Misley (the victim) should pay him $155,423 to cover legal expenses in the case. Misley filed a lawsuit against Tyler in 2022, alleging sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Steven Tyler’s lawyer stated:
“These public statements, whatever their alleged impact on (Misley), constitute quintessential protected speech. Moreover, they were made in 1997 and 2011, more than eleven years prior to her bringing suit.
”(Misley) therefore recklessly caused Mr. Tyler to incur over $142,000 in legal fees to challenge her baseless claim, plus approximately $12,930 in additional fees for having to file this Motion and the anticipated reply and argument on this Motion.”
