![]() ![]() In her interviews, Joan Jett claimed to not remember the encounter happening at all, while Kim Fowley stated, “They can talk about it until the cows come home but, in my mind, I didn’t make love to anybody in the Runaways nor did they make love to me.” Kim Fowley can no longer respond to these allegations he died of bladder cancer earlier this year. Heartbreakingly, Krome also alleges that the other Runaways (particularly singer Cherie Currie and rhythm guitarist Joan Jett) giggled about Fox’s assault and seemed to consider it a running joke.Įvelyn McDonnell, author of Queens of Noise: The Real Story of the Runaways, interviewed the band at length about the incident while doing research for her book, and explains on her blog that while she takes issue with the Huffington Post’s sensationalism, she does believe that Jackie is telling the truth. Runaways songwriter Kari Krome corroborates Fox’s story and shares her own horrifying experiences with Fowley he repeatedly forced himself upon her when she was just 14 years old. In the article, she comes forwards with a sickening account of being drugged and raped by the band’s much older manager, notorious sleazeball Kim Fowley. By Fox’s account, the incident took place at a motel party on New Year’s Eve in 1976, in front of a crowd of partygoers - including several of her bandmates. Now a lawyer, Jackie was the only member of the band who declined to sign away her life rights for the 2010 movie based on the band’s rise to fame. Although the band has enjoyed a resurgence in press in recent years, Fuchs (known to fans as Jackie Fox) has mostly stayed out of the spotlight she never pursued any further career in music and seems to rarely associate with her former bandmates. Last Friday, the Huffington Post published The Lost Girls, a heart-wrenching piece by Jason Cherkis about Jackie Fuchs‘ traumatic experiences as the first bass player in the legendary all-girl rock ‘n’ roll band the Runaways.
