People Magazine has published intimate details from Ione Skye’s newly released memoir. The actress shares a significant personal decision involving Red Hot Chili Peppers’ frontman Anthony Kiedis when she was 17.
“I was the type of girl who’d wanted a baby since I was a baby, who used to fantasize about finding a swaddled infant on my doorstep or catching a flying ghost baby with a butterfly net,” Skye writes in her memoir. “But fantasizing was different from seeing. I couldn’t see having a baby at this point.”
“I was taking care of myself now, making a choice that felt good and important for my future,” she continues. “I would not have a baby at 17, with someone who didn’t want to be a dad, wouldn’t commit to me and had anger issues. Not to mention the heroin.”
The memoir offers a candid look into Skye’s early life experiences in Hollywood. This work represents a significant milestone in her journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
