I refuse to watch this movie and thought this article is a good summary of why I have made that decision:

"Nikki Sixx tells a story about taking a drunk woman into a hotel room closet to have sex, then sneaking out and sending a procession of other men into the room after him. He writes that “I had probably gone too far” and that he had “pretty much” raped her - but lest you think he’s experiencing self-reflection, in the very next paragraph he recounts the time he and drummer Tommy Lee brought a homeless woman to Lee’s bed for sex, then stole her clothes."

What the fuck?

Disgusting pieces of shit

[glitterslugs]

Yeah theyre trash humans

[doriiansz]

Yeah, fuck them.

This is horrific, but Nikki is now saying, "I don’t actually recall that story in the book beyond reading it. I have no clue why its in there other than I was outta my head and it’s possibly greatly embellished or [I] made it up. Those words were irresponsible on my part. I am sorry."

According to him, he'd relapsed on drugs & alcohol and doesn't remember talking to Neil Strauss. Obviously, this could very well be (and likely is) Nikki Sixx covering his ass in a #MeToo era -- or it could in fact be embellishments that he realizes now were horrific in nature.

Either way, if it happened, it's disgusting and horrifying, and if it didn't, it's disgusting & horrifying that they thought it was a funny story to include as a picture of "excess" and not abuse.

Yeah, considering all the equally as awful shit they felt okay owning up to, sounds like he's just trying to cover his ass.

lmfao this is for anyone who believes he made this up: hello! i'm a nigerian prince with a very lucrative offer for you! dm me for details!

like........ imagine giving a man the benefit of the doubt. imagine giving a white musician man the benefit of the doubt. absolutely the fuck not. guilty as fuck.

all of them were still off the rails when the book was published and someone already said nick embellished alot of what happened, i still don't think they're shit bc this shit def still would have happened but i don't think the specific things zoned in in the book actually happened, nick just went to town on vague things they said

[ghastly]

I assume you mean Neil Strauss? I have a longstanding theory that every "memoir" he's been a part of has been heavily embellished, because there's moments in all of them that are very clearly written to be very sensationalized and shock-for-the-sake-of-shock, even when it defies realism

Wow, what the fuck?!
