Steven Tyler is asking a judge to toss a sexual assault lawsuit's intentional inflection of emotional distress claim that's tied to his memoirs.
filed against him, asking a judge to strike a claim of intentional inflection of emotional distress “based on statements” Tyler made in memoirs about his relationship with Julia Misley.
Misley sued Tyler last December, accusing him of sexual assault and battery in the 1970s, starting when she was 16. The suit included several excerpts from Tyler’s 2011 memoir, in which he wrote that he “almost took a teen bride,” and that the girl’s parents “signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state.” Tyler also wrote that “she was sixteen, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn’t a hair on it.
Now, in the new filing, Tyler’s lawyers are arguing that the parts of Misley’s suit based on the memoir make it a “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation” . SLAPPs are typically brought by entities trying to silence those speaking out against them; in this case, Tyler’s lawyers claim that the motion to strike is “made upon the grounds that” Misley filed a SLAPP because, “The conduct complained of arises out of statements made in Tyler’s published memoirs.
Tyler’s lawyers later stressed that they’re only trying to strike Misley’s “IIED claim based on statements made in Tyler’s published memoirs, which were madethe alleged acts of childhood sexual assault” . They add they are not trying to strike Misley’s other causes of action, or her IIED claim “based on alleged acts of childhood sexual assault.”
