Overview

• Jeanne Bellino has accused Aerosmith's singer Steven Tyler of sexually assaulting her twice in the summer of 1975, when she was a 17-year-old teen model living in Queens, New York.
• Bellino claims she felt inspired to come forward by the first woman to accuse Tyler, Julia Misley, who also alleged sexual assault by the singer in his hotel room in 1973 when she was 16.
• Jeff Anderson, the attorney representing both women, stated that Bellino originally intended to be a witness for Misley to validate the latter's claim; however, she later decided to file her own case under the Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law.
• The lawsuit alleges two separate incidents that occurred on the same day in 1975. Both instances involve Tyler allegedly forcibly kissing and groping Bellino, once in a phone booth in Manhattan, and the second at the Warwick Hotel, with bystanders allegedly failing to intervene.
• Bellino is seeking unspecified damages for physical, psychological, and emotional injuries. Her lawsuit is the second accusation of this nature against Tyler, following Misley's suit filed in December 2022.
