In reply to the discussion: Romney Supporter Nugent Admitted to Multiple Affairs With Underage Girls in '98 VH1 Documentary [View all]Zookeeper
(6,536 posts)and my response is that there's no reason to think she would be less reliable than Nugent. Also, Nugent didn't dispute it or sue her for libel. I don't know if she was a groupie, but her mother testified in court that Love's father gave her LSD when she was four years old. Basically, she had incredibly negligent parents, was called "Pee Girl" because her parents didn't wash her clothes, and a friend of hers reported that Love was "thrilled" when her stepfather gave her a toothbrush, because she had never had one before. So, she was probably quite vulnerable to being preyed on, as it sounds like she had no supervision or real support.
I certainly don't want to make any claims I can't support with research, though. If anyone has more information on the debate, I'd be happy to read it.
