Vogue Williams has shared just how ‘disappointed’ she is in Red Hot Chilli Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis for once dating a 19-year-old, 31 years his junior.
The 63-year-old rock legend is known for having large age-gap relationships. Notably, in 2013, when he was 50-years-old, he dated Australian model Helena Vestergaard, who was only 19 at the time.
They broke up after almost two years together before parting ways, with the music artist revealing just how emotionally wrecked he was left by the break-up at the time.
Vogue, 40, however, has heavily criticised the band frontman for dating someone so much younger than himself.
‘Do you know who else I find really disappointing, hasn’t broken the law, but really disappointing cause I really like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Anthony Kiedis,’ she began.
Reflecting on the situation on podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, she exclaimed: ‘Dude, what are you talking about?’
Her co-host Joanne McNally continued: ‘I just accept now that most men are drawn to significantly younger women. That’s all I’m gonna say. It is what it is. I don’t think there’s any getting away from it.
‘We judge it, but it’s not going away, it’s not going to change.’
Although she defended ‘it’s not all men’, Vogue continued to express her confusion over large age-gaps, wondering ‘what am I going to talk to, let’s say, a 16-year-old about?’
‘How was school? Did you have fun in school with your friends? Did you get your new pencil case? It’s September coming up…’
Joanne was having none of it, adding: ‘It’s rock stars like him that can get away with it because no 19-year-old wants to be going out with some ale lad who’s driving a Toyota Corolla around town, d’you know what I mean?
‘They want to be going out with a millionaire rock star who’s going to treat them like a princess and they’re going to have a gorgeous life and he’s cool. He’s in the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.’
Vogue shared that her husband Spencer Matthews ‘loves’ the band but when she told him about Anthony’s relationship history ‘he was like: ‘Ugh, just because you can doesn’t mean you should’.
For Anthony, the heartbreak from his split from Helena fuelled the lyrics of Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ album The Getaway.
