A judge dismissed 99.9% of the claims in a sexual assault lawsuit against Steven Tyler in Los Angeles. Only one claim remains in Julia Misley’s lawsuit. This claim involves intentional infliction of emotional distress related to an alleged encounter when Misley was 16.
Misley alleges that she was coerced into terminating a pregnancy during her relationship with Tyler. The court’s decision is significant, as it reduces the scope of the legal battle dramatically.
Key facts:
- The majority of the claims were dismissed with prejudice.
- The alleged encounter occurred in 1974.
- Misley was 16 years old at the time of the incident.
This ruling reflects ongoing legal challenges for high-profile figures in Hollywood. The dismissal aligns with broader discussions about accountability and allegations in the entertainment industry.

Quotes from involved parties:
“This is a massive win for Steven Tyler. Today, the Court has dismissed with prejudice 99.9 per cent of the claims against Mr Tyler in this case,” said Tyler’s lawyer. and “I was also angry that Rebel claims to be someone who stands up for women and young Australian talent but then was so maliciously and unfairly persisting with a narrative that painted me as a liar, prostitute, sell out, and whore,” stated Charlotte MacInnes.
The case against Tyler may set precedents for future lawsuits involving allegations of sexual misconduct. Further developments are expected as both cases unfold in the coming months.
