The musician started dating Australian model Helena Vestergaard in 2013, and they split after being together for approximately two years.

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.

Upgrade it to "Pedophile". It makes no difference to me. I don't value your opinions or perspectives since I've gotten to see how dishonest you are.

    Yeah I have a bad habit of not letting conversations about wildly bad takes die online. You can see it in my extensive comment history tbh.

    Your assertion that children can consent to sex with adults is something I can't morally let stand without pushback. Add in your defense of pedophiles preying on children? Yeah, I can't let that go.

    I don't worry myself with browsing comment history like that.

    Your assertion that children can consent to sex with adults

    I am not the user who said this:

    the girl apparently did want to have sex with him

    That is what consent means. When someone wants something of someone else and is given/allowed it. I'm not arguing about "legal consent". I am talking about the word "consent" itself.

    I can't morally let stand without pushback.

    Similarly, I feel the need to push back on your continued misuse of terms, which seems to be very much intentional in order to deceive.

    Add in your defense of pedophiles preying on children?

    That is yet another strawman. I have not defended child-predators or the act of preying on children. This entire thread is about the meanings of words and your intentional decisions to misconstrue events so as to foment hate.

    Yeah, I can't let that go.

    ditto
