Nikki Sixx really wishes he hadn't talked about that sexual assault story in The Dirt
As reported by Rolling Stone, Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx is trying to walk back a particularly awful anecdote that he told in the memoir The Dirt back in 2000. The incident in question involved Sixx having sex with a woman in a closet at the height of Mötley Crüe’s outrageous party days, and as he told The Dirt co-author Neil Strauss, he told her at one point that he had to go to the bathroom and then tricked her into having sex with bandmate Tommy Lee in his place when he returned. The next morning, the woman called Sixx and told him that she had been raped, but Sixx was “relieved” when she said that it had happened when she was hitchhiking home—and not that she had realized what he had done. Still, Sixx said in the book that it made him realize that he had “probably gone too far” and that he “pretty much” had raped her because he had been living in a “zone” where “consequences did not exist” at the time.
