'A father is always gonna be sexually attracted to his daughter...' A controversial remark made by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler about his daughter, actress Liv Tyler, is once again making rounds on social media. The statement, published in Gavin Edwards' 2006 book Is Tiny Dancer Really Elton's Little John?, has resurfaced as the 78-year-old singer faces an unresolved California civil lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a teenager in the 1970s.
Tyler denies wrongdoing in the case brought by Julia Misley, who says she was 16 when their relationship began in 1973. A judge narrowed her lawsuit in April 2026 but allowed allegations involving California to proceed.
Despite the pending lawsuit, Tyler has returned to performing, joining Aerosmith at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 29 October 2026. The concert marked the band's first full live performance since 2023, following a vocal injury that forced the group to retire from touring. His daughter Liv, 49, and actress Alicia Silverstone introduced the band before the performance.
Tyler's return to the stage comes as he continues to fight allegations of sexual abuse in court. At the Hollywood Bowl, the singer performed Aerosmith classics including 'Dream On', 'Sweet Emotion' and 'Walk This Way', with Dave Grohl joining the band on drums.The performance was part of a two-night concert event held on 29 October and 1 November 2026, even as Tyler's civil lawsuit remains unresolved.
As a father with daughters: No fucking way. I will never listen to his music again if that's what he thinks. That's heinous, and to go out and publicly announce you wanna fuck your daughter... What the fuck. Ew, please stop breathing.
This is why I continue to speak out about these issues. Not everyone knows some of the vile pedophilic shit that we have allowed to fester openly.
Thank you for saying something, thank you for rejecting these types of men, thank you.
The last time I posted about this, there were quite a few comments crying that this was so long ago and he already was scolded publicly or whatever. Pathetic the way some people will move to defend pedophiles.
Anthony Kiedis from RHCP is another example I'm vocal about whenever that band comes up. Unfortunately, most people don't seem to know that he openly admits to "dating" children on a fairly regular basis with no remorse, and the rest of the band seems to be into it as they continue to perform together.
People tend to not like having their parasocial relationships questioned, but it's important to remind ourselves and others that we don't know these people and to not worship them just because they're "rockstars."
I appreciate your work
<3
Those people are vile. The kind of people that led to society being more apathetic.
You're doing good work
It is really fucked. Super fucked.
