Legal Claims Span Multiple States—and Legal Standards
According to Tyler’s court filings, only one of the plaintiff’s claims directly concerns events in California. The rest, they argue, involve alleged encounters in Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington—all of which, Tyler’s attorneys say, would be time-barred under those states’ laws.
“Plaintiff expressed no animus toward Tyler for years regarding their relationship,” the defense states, highlighting that, “In 1975, plaintiff told Tyler she would never do anything to harm him, did not care about his money and would never sue him.”
As recounted in court documents, the woman was a regular at Aerosmith shows across the country—none in California—and eventually moved in with Tyler in Boston. The pair were engaged and expecting a child shortly after she turned 18, but following an apartment fire and smoke inhalation, it was reported at the time, that she suffered a miscarriage and underwent an abortion.
She maintains that Tyler was the one who pressured her into having an abortion.
Her claim, is that she subsequently “made a conscious decision to leave and escape the music and drug-addled world seeking to be free from the sexualized culture created by Tyler and the industry,” according to her suit.
