Ione Skye Claimed She Had An Abortion With Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis When She Was 17 Years Old
Warning: This post includes discusses substance abuse issues.
Ione Skye opened up about her past relationship with the frontman of the six-time Grammy Award-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis.
Ione is known for her roles in Cameron Crowe's 1989 classic Say Anything... with John Cusack and Wayne's World (1992).
In her new book, Say Everything, Ione revealed intimate details of her life, including an "intimidating" story about Gwyneth Paltrow dating her brother, actor and singer Donovan Leitch, in the '90s.
In her memoir, Ione also talked about her relationship with RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis when he was 24 and she was only 16 years old.
In the memoir, Ione revealed that her romance with the RHCP frontman was complicated by his heroin addiction. Once she became pregnant at 17, she ultimately made the painful decision not to keep the child.
In Say Everything, Ione stated she was "the type of girl who'd wanted a baby since I was a baby, who used to fantasize about finding a swaddled infant on my doorstep or catching a flying ghost baby with a butterfly net."
"But fantasizing was different from seeing," she wrote, "I couldn't see having a baby at this point."
Ione had placed blame on herself for not being more cautious but doesn't regret her decision to have an abortion. "I was taking care of myself now, making a choice that felt good and important for my future," she wrote, according to the publication. "I would not have a baby at 17, with someone who didn't want to be a dad, wouldn't commit to me and had anger issues. Not to mention the heroin."

Anthony Kiedis has been open about his struggles with drug addiction in the past, including in his 2004 autobiography Scar Tissue. He says he's been sober since 2000.
Ione explained to People that she was nervous about revealing everything in the memoir but felt that taking control of the narrative was important. "These girls on TikTok were saying things like, 'How could my mom let me be with Anthony?'" she said. "And I sort of clapped back, not in an aggressive way, but I was like, 'Well, my mom was really upset that I was with a rockstar like Anthony Kiedis.' And I don't know, I kind of started feeling like I was able to tell my side of the story, and I had a lot to tell."

Source: Katy Perry's Album Reception Has Caused "Tension" and "Stress" in Orlando Bloom Relationship
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly been going through a rough patch in their relationship. A source tells People that the couple experienced some tension due to Katy's stress over the reception of her new album, 143. "Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," the insider explained. "It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension." Another source added that "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship." Neither source noted what's happening in their relationship at the moment, or if things have improved. But these two have been together forever—and gotten through rough patches before! In fact, they briefly broke up in 2017 (per their reps, they were "taking respectful loving space"), a split that Katy opened up about last year. "I mean, he was in a way, because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions," she said. "I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was just like, 'I can't do this anymore. I need to go swim in a different pond,' but I had yet to do a lot of real work." Ultimately, Katy and Orly both worked on themselves and got back together thanks to the singer initiating a reunion. "We all have our strengths and then our opportunities for growth," she said. "But one of his strengths [is] when I crumble, he can step in and be that anchor. That's amazing, because I'm usually just alpha, alpha, you know? I'm like testosterone, testosterone. 'I got this. I don't need any help,' but actually I do need help. I do need a partner."

It doesn't mean you're a bad parent,' she told PEOPLE in April 2019. 'We all are constantly struggling daily, but that's also the beautiful side of parenthood.' The mom of three isn't fully ready for her kids to become teenagers. During a Friday, Feb. 14 interview with Entertainment Tonight alongside her husband, she was asked how she's feeling about her oldest son becoming a teenager this year. As soon as the question was read, Vanessa began to get emotional. 'That one's going to get me,' Vanessa said, tearing up. 'It's going to get me because you know that this has been happening in the last couple months.' 'They're growing! I can't answer this question, I have on fake eyelashes,' she continued.

'It's actually really… it's such a beautiful question because I love — I know you do too — we love our children and we love watching them grow," Vanessa explained. "But maybe it's because NCIS:Hawai'i was cancelled and I was so sad. We were so sad we left Hawaii. That was our dream. And the silver lining to that is it's been able to give us so much time with our kids.' Although she noted that her older son still acts like a kid for now, Vanessa added there's so much she's excited to experience with her kids once they get a little older. 'Camden is just…he's 12 but he's still like a 12-year-old boy. He watches Bluey with his brother and sister and they're just still kids," the star said. "And I'm like really holding onto it because at some point it does change ... but I'm excited about girlfriends and boyfriends and driving and whatever.' Read the original article on People
