Charlie Puth & Teen Charlotte Lawrence: The Worst Age-Gap Sexual Affair

In July of 2020, we wrote a post about the age-gap affair between, then, 27-year-old singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and, then, 18-year-old singer-songwriter and model Charlotte Lawrence. 

In the post, which was a book review of My Dark Vanessa, a student-teacher age-gap book, that Lawrence did on Instagram Live with Kaia Gerber, we learned, per Capital FM, "The UK's No.1 Hit Music Station", that Puth was the inspiration for Lawrence's "Everybody Loves You".

Here are some of the lyrics to "Everybody Loves You" from the alluringly titled Young:

I am so tired, I have to tame my mind before I get too frustrated

Can't go back in time to change in someone's eyes

That I was not something to play with

It's my body and I'm trying to hate you 'cause I want to

It's my body and I'm trying to while everybody loves you

It's my body and I'm trying to forgive you, I don't want to

It's my body and it hates you, why does everybody love you?

Why does everybody love you?

They don't know enough about you

Do they know that I regret you?

Do they know I shouldn't have to?

Why does everybody love you?

They don't know enough about you

Do they know that I regret you?

Do they know I shouldn't have to?

Charlotte Lawrence & Kaia Gerber 

Charlotte elaborated with Kaia that "Everybody Loves You" is about her, in hindsight, "inappropriate and traumatizing and bad" affair with Puth:

"I wrote the song about, you know, an experience I had that - that was inappropriate and traumatizing and bad. And for awhile I always justified it and always thought that I was being crazy and it was okay because, you know, he was so popular and cool. Everybody loved him, and it was amazing. And, I don't know. One day I just woke up, and I was like, "No, that wasn't okay."

Charlotte Lawrence & Charlie Puth 

However, Lawrence is missing the point. A "popular" and "cool" person whom "everybody loved", can be immensely attractive to anyone - regardless of the age difference.

Not to be outdone, Olivia Craighead posted on Gawker "Charlie Puth Cries Fat Tears [via “That’s Hilarious”] Over Teen [Charlotte Lawrence] Who Dumped Him" (3-25-2022). Craighead embedded a TikTok on Gawker where Puth said that “That’s Hilarious” is s song about his affair with Lawrence, which he described as "the worst year of his life". And he described their breakup as "the worst breakup of my life”. 

Once again, Craighead appears to make the common mistake of determining that the reason Puth and Lawrence had such a bad breakup was solely due to their age difference. If Puth were 19, his age, most likely, would not have been a suspect in the breakup. On the contrary, it would have been assumed that he and/or Lawrence were, say, jerks. But since there was an age-gap, it's, by default, assumed that the age difference was the culprit. 

Kaia Gerber (18) & Pete Davidson (26)

Lastly, not to be outdone, Kaia Gerber has had her share of on and off-screen age-gap affairs. 

Machine Gun Kelly Desired Teen Sex with Kendall Jenner

Machine Gun Kelly & Kendall Jenner (17)

Stephanie Soteriou reported for Buzzfeed News that "Machine Gun Kelly’s Resurfaced Comments About Then-Underage Kendall Jenner Have Sparked Huge Backlash". 

Soteriou related that in an interview with Fuse in 2013, Kelly, then 23, shared that he was not willing to "wait" until Kendall, then 17, was of legal age (in California).

“I don't care who my first celebrity crush was because right now it's Kendall Jenner.”

“God damn I've said that so many motherfucking times, I hope that I'm snagging that. Don't let me move to LA. Oof, I'm finding her."

Fuse asked Kelly if he were “counting down the days” until Kendall was 18 (i.e., Barely Legal in L.A.) to which Kelly replied impatiently: 

“I’m not waiting until she’s 18, I’ll go now. I’m 23, dog, I’m not like a creepy age, y’know what I’m saying? I’m 23, she’s 17, and she’s a celebrity. There’s no limits right there.”

In an attempt to justify his stance, Kelly related that Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant dated a 14-year-old and Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose dated a 16-year-old and that Rose even wrote a song about the age-gap affair. 

“Robert Plant, who is one of the greatest lead singers ever, dated a girl who was 14,” Machine Gun Kelly continued. “Axl Rose [pictured below] was one of the biggest badasses ever, dated a girl who was 16 and wrote a song on his first album about the girl that was 16.”

Jimmy Page (24) & Lori Maddux (14)

In reference to the lyrics, "One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen\Painted lady in the city of lies" on Led Zeppelin's "Sick Again", Robert Plant shared in Dave Lewis' The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin that the lyrics were not inspired (solely) by Lori Maddux but that they were inspired by a number of nymphet groupies whom the band met during their 1972 US tour. 

And Slash wrote in Slash that Axl Rose had sex with 15-year-old Michelle in the loft before Michelle "freaked out intensely". In addition, per Mick Wall's Last of the Giants: The True Story of Guns N’ Roses, after Michelle freaked out she was: "A naked, underage girl running away from adult men [Slash and Rose] along one of the busiest streets in Los Angeles [...]"

Contrary to Soteriou's reporting, it appears that Kelly's comments didn't cause a "huge" backlash; however, there were some comments posted on social media that didn't condone Kelly's stance. 

But maybe what Kelly was trying to express is his frustration with the inconsistent age of consent laws in the US. For instance, the age of consent in Houston, TX, Kelly's hometown, like New York City, is 17; thus, Kendall would have been of legal age in that regard. (Note: The age of consent across the Hudson from Manhattan is 16.)

Kylie Jenner (17)

But, Kendall and the Kardashian clan may have agreed with Kelly, because Kylie, then 17, had an (illegal) age-gap sexual relationship with Tyga, then 25, which was was condoned, specifically, by Khloe Kardashian whom, per The Washington Post, opined:

"Kylie is not a normal 17-year-old. You’re not gonna say, 'Hey, so what are you doing this weekend?' and have her say, 'Having a slumber party at my girlfriend’s' or 'Going to prom.' That’s not what Kylie does. Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she’s going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting. That’s not even what people do in their 30s. It’s a rare circumstance, so let’s treat this as a special case.”

In the end, (ultra) orthodox Jews and practicing Muslims would say that they're all putting the cart before the horse, because one will never know, but if Kelly, à la Elvis, would have asked for Kendall's hand in marriage, to Megan Fox's dismay, the Kardashian's may have planned a lavish age-gap wedding. 

New York TIMES: Teen Daughter & BFF Lipstick Lesbian Sex!

Here's part of a questioned submitted to THE ETHICIST at the New York Times:

My daughter is in a newly romantic relationship with her best friend, who is also female. Both are in their midteens. My daughter recently confided in me that they have had sex. She insists, however, that I am not allowed to tell the friend’s mother, because the mother wouldn’t let them have sleepovers or hang out as much. My ex-husband is the one who hosts the sleepovers, and he looks the other way when they are in the bedroom, reasoning that (or so my daughter tells me), “It’s OK because there are no penises involved.” [...] Are my ex-husband’s actions egregious? Name Withheld

Miley Cyrus (13)

Thus, we have two "midteens" having (lipstick) lesbian sex during sleepovers, which reminded us of Miley Cyrus whom shared with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast (August 13, 2020) that when Cyrus was a pre-teen she had a lipstick lesbian orgy. 

Cyrus: "Yeah, when I was like 11 or 12 [...] I got most of my girlfriends to hookup with me."
Cooper: "That is such an amazing. That's amazing."
Cyrus: "The first time I ever hooked up with anyone was with a girl. Two of them."
Cooper: "And did you go past first base?"
Cyrus: "Yeah! Oh yeah!"
Cooper: "Miley's like, 'Of course. Oh my God. Absolutely.'"

Jessica Simpson (13)
Richardson North Jr High (1993)

And we thought of Jessica Simpson whom shared in her memoir, Open Book, that she had lipstick lesbian sex with a family friend during sleepovers - from the age of six to 12.

“It would start with tickling my back [...]”

"Eventually it wasn't just at nighttime. She would get me to go into a closet with her, or just find a way to linger until we were alone. It got to the point that she would sneak into the bathroom to watch me shower."

In addition, Simpson confessed to People: “I allowed it to happen, so I felt that I was as much of the abuser as the abused. So I was very shameful during that time, from 6 to 12 years old.” 

Interestingly, it's not uncommon for these (pre)teen lipstick lesbians to be teleiophiles as well. For example, Marina shared in My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies that she began to be "aware of men at the age of 9 or 10" [Emphasis added]. Consequently, Marina masturbated while thinking of men but that was prior to her having lipstick lesbian sex with a 10-year-old Mediterranean girl.

Marina began to be aware of men at the age of 9 or 10 and thought about them while she masturbated; however, Marina only had "a vague idea of what lovemaking was" until she met her friend, a 10-year-old Mediterranean girl. Marina and the Mediterranean nymphet used to sit at opposite ends of the bathtub and pour warm water from a Russian silver teapot all over their clitorises while caressing their bodies "with infallible, instinctive verve."

And Liara Roux shared in her memoir, Whore of New York: A Confession, that she had pre-teen lipstick lesbian sex with the "very beautiful" Melissa. In the 5th grade. Outdoors. In the woods. During a youth retreat. In the Catskills. 

Subsequently, Roux went on to have a number of heteroesexual age-gap romantic encounters. For instance, Jeremy Lin, an older writer, gave 16-year-old Roux a "thrill" due to his "sexual attention". Roux entrapped older literary men on Facebook with the promise of teen sex. And Roux went on to become a "whore" to older men to which she asked: "Is it wrong that I feel comfortable fucking an older man who's paying me?"

In the end, maybe Name Withheld should be more concerned about her daughter exploring her teen sexuality via being a teen groupie, being attracted to her (male) teacher, and/or even being attracted to Dr. Phil. 

"Sex Appeal" (2022): "GET GOOD AT [TEEN] SEX"

Here's the relevant Movie Info via Rotten Tomatoes for Hulu's teen comedy Sex Appeal (2022):

Avery Hansen-White doesn't do things she isn't excellent at. So when her long-distance boyfriend [Casper] hints at wanting to take their relationship to the next level [i.e., have teen sex], she sets out to master her sexuality, employing her oldest friend, Larson, as a [sex] test subject. 

In other words, Avery wanted to lose her virginity to Casper, but not before "practicing" with Larson. Consequently, just like Brandy in the teen sex comedy The To Do List (2013), Avery made a "GET GOOD AT SEX" list that included:

Handjobs
Blowjobs
Fingering
Butt Stuff

Avery even informed her high school sex ed teacher, "I know it's not in the manual, but I could use a little tutorial on the mechanics of the clitoris." But her teacher replied, "I cannot tell you how to pleasure yourself." 

However, Avery, who interestingly referred to herself as a "young adult", got advice from Danica (Paris Jackson), "a [teen] mecca of sexual knowledge", whom advised Avery to measure, using a glass test tube, the depth of her vagina ("4.3 inches"), to use coconut oil as a lubricant while masturbating, and Danica encouraged Avery, à la TikTok, to masturabate via Jacuzzi jets. 

Curiously, to prove that she can orgasm, à la Jasira in Towelhead (2007), Avery's classmate masturbated to completion - in class.

Avery's parents encouraged her as well by providing her with flavored condoms, dildos and words of encouragement like, "You blow whatever you're comfortable with."

And to encourage Larson to be her "fuck buddy", à la Kat Stratford in 10 Things I Hate About You, Avery flashed Larson in the high school's hallway before they checked off a number of the items on the "GET GOOD AT SEX" list.

Lastly, Sex Appeal (2022) is a Hulu slash American High collab where American High is known to "Embrace the R-rated reality of high school". 

Polley's RUN TOWARDS THE DANGER: Worst [Age Gap] Date Ever | Teen Choking Fetish?

Dave Itzkoff related in his New York Times piece that "Sarah Polley Is OK With Oversharing" (Feb. 17, 2022). In the piece, Itzkoff wrote that Polley, the accomplished actress, shared that when she 16,  after a(n) (consensual) age-gap date, she experienced a violent "sexual encounter" with 28-year-old Jian Ghomeshi - the musician and former CBC host.

In another chapter [of Run Towards The Danger], “The Woman Who Stayed Silent,” Polley revisits what she used to call “a funny party story about my worst date ever” with Jian Ghomeshi, the musician and former CBC radio host [...]

Describing the episode now without euphemism, Polley says that when she was 16 and Ghomeshi was 28, she left his apartment after he became violent during a sexual encounter in which he ignored her pleas to stop hurting her.

Polley, now 43, shared in “The Woman Who Stayed Silent” that when she was 13, she danced with Jian in Moxy Früvous' "King of Spain" video:

He asked me to appear in a video for one of his band’s songs, “King of Spain.” I was thrilled beyond belief, dancing with him outside the Bloor Street Cinema. (I was thirteen so forgive me, world.)

And when Polly was 14, she was captivated by ≈ 24-year-old Jian after he "tenderly'' tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and gazed upon her lips:

I met him again when I was fourteen and was the MC for another fundraiser, this time for the Canadian Peace Alliance. He was there to perform with his band, Moxy Früvous, which I loved at the time. While another band was performing onstage, we sat together on a back staircase. He told me I was doing great. He tenderly pulled a strand of hair out of my face, tucked it behind my ear, and gazed at my face, my lips, my forehead in a way that made me think he was going to kiss me. He didn’t. But I was captivated.

Interestingly, Meghan Daum wrote in her New York Times piece, "How Sarah Polley, Child Star and ‘Canada’s Sweetheart,’ Grew Up Way Too Fast" (March 1, 2022), that 15-year-old Polley left home and moved in with her 19-year-old boyfriend.

Born into a theatrical family, she was 11 when her mother died, after which her father, who “prided himself on ‘not being a father,’” retreated into a solipsistic funk. With her much older siblings long out of the house, Sarah decided at 14 she was grown up enough to leave home and, by 15, was living with her 19-year-old boyfriend.  

15-year-old Sarah Polley in Exotica (1994)

Polley went on to describe the "sexual encounter" with Jian by sharing that after their date, she went back to his apartment and after they kissed, he warned her that he was into "some pretty weird stuff" before he ran his "devil hands" all over her young body:

A few years later, Jian asked me out on a date. We ended up back at his apartment. I was nervous [...] After he had played me some recordings of his music and cursory amounts of kissing, he said, “I’m into some pretty weird stuff, Sarah. Do you think you can keep up?” In the story as I told it, I would say, in an adult fashion, a simple “No.” He proceeded to stand behind me and run his hands all over my clothed body at a million miles an hour, saying, “You’re in hell, you’re in hell, there’s devil hands all over your body, you’re in hell, it’s the devil!”

16-year-old Sarah Polley in Avonlea (1995)

The "pretty weird stuff" that Jian was referring to was his erotic\sexual asphyxiation fetish, but Polly wasn't a fan. Consequently, a "furious" ≈ 28-year-old Jian bent Polly's 16-year-old legs over her head and penetrated her until her muscles ached, and she cried out in pain:

“[...] he wouldn’t get his hands off my neck, though I tried to pry them away and managed to say, while he briefly moved them away from my neck, that I hated having my neck touched like that and I didn’t want him to do that again. He did it again [...]

[...] the sex became painful after that. He bent my legs back over my head and wouldn’t stop when it felt that muscles were being ripped and I cried out. I left out that I expressed that it hurt and wanted him to stop and he ignored this, looking at me with what looked like abject hatred. 

Daum reminded us that Polly: "[...] flattered and flirted with Ghomeshi when they crossed paths in professional settings [...]" For example, in an email exchange with Jian, Polly even offered Jian her "hot sister":

“He writes: “you owe me. But we knew that already…:p”

And I reply: “Ah. You are the best. I shall provide you with my hot sister.”

And curiously, Polly wrote that she shared her age-gap one-night-stand story at parties, but she left out some details like her age:  

Throughout my twenties and early thirties, I had a funny party story about my worst date ever. [#worstdateever]

Lastly, per the Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention, unlike Polley, some teens appear to condone choking during sex:

Among 14-to-18-year-old girls with sexual experience, more than one in eight has experienced choking during sex [...]

Fernanda Gimenez: "Topless" TikTok Teen in Thong

Brenda Dennehy posted on the Daily Mail that "TikTok star Fernanda Gimenez goes braless in a see through mini-dress". Dennehy started off by sharing the reason the topless teen (@ferchugimenez) attended the world premiere of The Batman in NYC, which was for clout (i.e., attention): 

Fernanda Gimenez made sure all eyes were on her as she arrived at the world premiere of The Batman in New York City on Tuesday. 

The TikTok star commanded attention as she went braless in a sheer mini-dress  on the star-studded red carpet. 

Fernanda, 19, left almost nothing to the imagination as she put on a steamy display with her content creator beau Sebastien Andrade.  

Dennehy went on to opine that the "stunning" braless teen looked "sensational" and that the "Uruguayan beauty" rose to fame on social media. Per Famous Birthdays, Fernanda was born on November 13, 2002; thus, we can determine that she began posting "stunning" and "sensational" videos on TikTok shortly after her 18th birthday. And to the dismay of ultra orthodox Jews and practicing Muslims, Dennehy opined that Fernanda's teen thong was modest. 

Fernanda, who rose to fame by sharing performances on her social media account looked sensational in the daring ensemble. 

The Instagram model contained her modesty by wearing a black thong which showed off her peachy [teen] derrière. 

The stunning brunette teamed the ensemble with a pair of black high-heel platform sandals which showcased her incredible pins.  

The Uruguayan beauty styled her luscious locks up while leaving some curtain bangs framing her flawless face.

Fernanda Gimenez (18) [@ferchugimenez]

Lastly, it shouldn't be surprising that Fernanda displayed her fountains on the red carpet, because instead of starting a TikTok account, when she turned 18, she could have started an OnlyFans and/or she could have become a teen porn star. As a (liberal) feminist would say, "Anything. Anything. As long as she doesn't have an affair with an older man. Like, say, Scott Disick."
