Before that, Kiedis, now 63, had a relationship with Heather Christie, who was 22 years his junior. When the pair welcomed their son, Everly Bear, in 2007, Kiedis was 44 and his partner was 21.

In the latest episode of My Therapist Ghosted Me, Williams and her co-host Joanne McNally discussed age-gap relationships, with the former I’m a Celebrity campmate saying: “Do you know who else I find really disappointing, because I really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Anthony Kiedis.”

Seemingly referring to his romance with Vestergaard, Williams continued: “He is like 54 or something, and he is going out with a 19-year-old. And it is like, ‘Dude, what are you talking about?’”

McNally replied: “I've seen this. I just accept now that most men, all men, are drawn to – I'm going to be very careful how I say this – significantly younger women. That's all I'm going to say. It is what it is and I don't think there's any getting away from it. We judge it but it's not going to change.”

“I would have to say that it is not all men,” Williams continued. “Because I do think it is a very specific thing.”

Addressing why younger women might decide to date older men, McNally added: “And of course, people like him [Anthony Kiedis] and rockstars like him can get away with it because no 19-year-old girl wants to be going out with some old lad who is driving a Toyota Corolla around town.

Thanks for really doubling down here. I’ve got your tag set as “pedophile defender” for any future run-ins.

At this point, I think they might literally be a rapist, as hard as they are fighting to move the goalposts for what "consent" and "rape" mean, blindly ignoring all established definitions to just declare that their personal definition that makes them innocent is the correct and universally accepted one...

This is rapist cope.

I think either they've been the younger person in an age-gap relationship or they're attracted to minors. But you're right, it's rapist cope.

Yea, that's true. They unfortunately may be a victim in denial about what happened, trying to justify it and unwittingly becoming a rape apologist.

Either way it's not good and I hope they get the help they need.

Speculating about me like that, in a comment I'm less likely to see, is bullying behaviour. Not unexpected but gross.
