Don Henley raped Kevin McCarthy's wife when she was 15?
Here is a blind item filled in
Set the DeLorean time machine back to November 21, 1980.
don henley was coming to the end of his legendary run with a group. They had made tons of money, and would go on to make more and more. But the fame, money, and adoration was not enough for this rocker. Fueled by drugs and unquenchable appetites, his disgusting lifestyle (and the victims left in his wake) was horrible in its day, and would land him in prison if he did it today.
don henley had developed many nasty habits and lifestyle choices that made Roman Polanski look normal. But the Rocker was always protected. His past girlfriend linda ronstadt was always there to support him, as was her then-boyfriend jerry brown. Both were always at the forefront of Feminist causes, and possibly the most powerful couple on the California or even national scene. It also helped to have the most powerful people in show business to protect you too. His manager irving azoff who had lawyers, media contacts, and investigators on speed-dial. Also david geffen who, although they had a love-hate relationship that would eventually turn to all hate, was glad to protect his money machine. Even when they would later sue each other for millions, they came together for political events. Thus, the Rocker never really cared about consequences.
That November, holed up in his California mansion a week before Thanksgiving, don henley made his usual call to Elizabeth Adams, the notorious โBeverly Hills Madam and he requested "the usual" for dinner. The usual for him meant young girls and he had done this many times both at home and on the road. He made Jimmy Page look like a gentleman. The Madam routinely searched for new talent at bus stops and runaway shelters. She had just found a new 16 year-old girl who looked young and liked to party. She was also very desperate and very scared. When the Madam made the offer to her for a night's work, it seemed safe enough with such a huge star. The Madam promised no sex involved, that don henley just liked to hang out and smoke dope and drink. Still, the Runaway asked if she could bring a friend. And yes, the Madam sent two underage girls to the don henleys palace that night. The "friend" accompanying the 16 year-old runaway was another homeless girl, who had just turned 15 years-old that week Judy Wages (McCarthy). She had just run away from a violently abusive home, and was still a virgin. The Madam got to double bill the Rocker for that visit.
