Ione Skye Wishes She Met Anthony Kiedis Later in Life: ‘We Have Love for Each Other Still’
On a recent episode of Radio Andy’s “The Julia Cunningham Show,” actress Ione Skye discussed the part in her new memoir, “Say Everything,” about her relationship with Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis.
“I didn’t want to hurt him … But I also knew that he wrote — he basically said a lot of stuff in his book, so I thought, ‘Okay, well, that’s alright,'” Ione told Julia.
Anthony’s autobiography, “Scar Tissue,” came out in 2004.
“We have love for each other still,” Ione confirmed. “We don’t see each other a lot, but when we bump into each other, Anthony and I — so, yeah, I kind of felt like I knew I would convey also that there was a tenderness and also a concern.”
At 54 years old now, Ione began dating Anthony when she was 16, the same age she landed her breakout role as Diane Court in the Cameron Crowe film “Say Anything.”
“Do I wish I had met that whole group 10 years later and maybe just been friends? Yes. It would have been better,” Ione said. “I could have skipped doing it at that point in my life and getting that involved for sure. So that’s something I would change. Just knowing them is fine. But how I knew him is something I would change.”
“The Julia Cunningham Show” is a live, one-hour pop culture and entertainment show airing weekdays at 3pm ET/12pm PT from the SiriusXM LA Studios. Stream full episodes anytime on the SiriusXM app.
