Poison Rocker Arrested on Sexual Assault Charge

rikkirocket.jpg
While Poison's lead singer, Bret Michaels, is living the good life while women vie for his attention on VH1's Rock of Love, his bandmate Rikki Rocket is in some major trouble.

According to the LA Daily News, the drummer of the '80s hair band was arrested at LAX on a rape warrant, after getting off a flight from New Zealand. While going through customs, Rikki was picked up by police and taken to the L.A. County Jail, where he was booked on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant. The alleged assault charge was filed by someone in Mississippi. No other specifics on the incident were available.

Not good.

Such thing is very common for him. Many friends I met on a millioniare dating site called meetingwealthy.com say he is a bad guy. They are successful men and women. We usually talk together.

Good Point Traci!

But, I have to disagree with the first line of the article. "While Poison's lead singer, Bret Michaels, is living the good life while women vie for his attention on VH1's Rock of Love" I mean come on, Bret is a moron too! And, the show proves it!

Really i think that someone would make up some story like that just to get attention. but who knows he really could've done something.

Alright !! Alright!!!!!!!! Nobody knows the facts yet and here we go again everyone is ready to jump band wagon......Why does'nt everyone wait until the whole story comes out..For all we know this could be so chick who is out of money and just trying the Get Rich He Raped Me Scheme....And we all know that could never happen RIGHT???????

C Hyatt said:

Maybe he is still living his life as thou it is still the 80's when I'm sure women would had done almost anything to be with him.

My boyfriend also got an SO charge back then too. It was so stupid like i"m sure Rockett's charge propably is too. My boyfriend was drunk as the woman who was 6 years older then him was. She wanted money for the sex she WILLINGLY GAVE UP and then pressed a rape charge on him because he wouldn't pay.

This is a crock of BS!! Rikki is the sweetest person & a huge supporter of RIGHTS! This MUST be someone lying to get his $$. I would defend Rikki to the bitter end! He's an awesome, awesome man!!! No way did he do this! Low-lifes will go to any extreme to bash a credible honest & sincere person.

What goes around does NOT come around...never has and never will.

I have no idea who this guy is...though I have watched The Rock of Love thing and have found it amusing. I had chosen not to watch T.V. for 10 years and didn't. I have just started watching it again and it is like one big picnic!

How is someone such as Michaels who is a musician AND is raking in the bucks on the show a "moron"...do we have what he has? Nope. Even if we don't WANT what he has is doesn't make him a "moron"...it just means we want different things and do not have the same abilities that he has. You can't play guitar? He doesn't work in the Laundry Room of the State Prison...?

withgoddess said:

P>S> Love this guy's little gold purse.

raven hodges said:

I can't say anything about the sexual assault charge with Rocket but I do watch VH-1 with Brett Michaels and I think he's a decent guy.I mean, you can tell by his mannerisms that he DOES have feelings at times on the show.I think he has shown his soft side a bit and I like him.

LOL said:

Melanie- she "gave it up willingly" because that is what hookers do when you use their services!


Your cheap ass boyfriend should have paid up like he promised!

Please.... any ploy to get out of Mississippi. Sounds like a case of "Poor White Trash Rock Star chasing....gone wrong".Don't get me wrong he probably did sleep with her(just look at him!!!!Yuck)Woman have to stop throwing themselves at these losers and get a little pride. Please spare me!!!!!!Woman get jobs make your own money.

Oh come on dude, I can't beleive that he is the f'ing shit

Karen said:

Ok, I am gonna get hit with this anyway, but thats what we pay for our freedom. One you all say look at Bret, Come on, looking for love with women on tv, so his little girls can see this, what is this teaching them about love,beibf loose and hey the constent drinking thats a rool model. Now on the RAPE, people rape is not about sex, its about POWER/CONTROL. Further more, You or I dont know the story from eirther one, and you all are caling her names, that is someones daughter/sister/ she belongs to someone, put the shoe on the other foot what if it was you or someone you knew. Just because your a star doesnt give you the right. DONT JUDGE AND JURY UNTIL YOU KNOW THE FACTS.

when it happens to your child, or relative, best friend, lover, you people who blame the other person may find yourselves changing your mind. it could happen to you too, anytime anyplace.

belle said:

yeah i'm a nurse in a georgia prison,that,'s what we call 10 to 20,and job security.feel sorry for the women if he's guilty

shannon said:

It is so sad that some celebrities think they are above the law. It is also sad that some people would make up something to get publicity or money. whether it happened or not it will have a sad ending to at least one persons future.

? said:

Funny thing is this so called rape happened in September of 07.. seems a bit odd that someone would wait that long to yell rape.

Jody said:

Hello ? - the girl didn't wait to yell rape, he was just NOW arrested on the WARRANT that was probably put out back in September, duh!!!

Katie said:

I just want to say to ? that the girl probably is NOT just now yelling rape - the guy was just NOW arrested on the WARRANT that was probably issued back in September when she probably first reported the incident.

JOOLS said:

HE IS A GREAT GUY and makes COOL music.

leave him alone!

Shaiya said:

Brett Is a great Guy... I personally know him.. & NO Rikki DID NOT rape anyone..... Oh Man he is a vegitarian for Gods sake & Is also in the same organizations Im in... which happen to be about both animals... ( he wont eat them) & another that Is against violence toward women!.... Rikki is a great guy.. the band is good.. ( the only person who ever beat a girl up In that band was C.C. Deville..) & rikki & bret kicked Him out of the band for a long time because Of it. whoever started this... is a Liar... she just wants money..

stacey said:

To the Respons of Shannon.You made a Great Point ! and the point was that it is one of either ones future.To me The way i see it,is that in some situations that some stars think in the back of there mind of what there doing is not rap.and well being that they can possibley get away with it and say well its just you and me and well no one else will believe you,you never know a person at all hell you can know a person your whole life and not really know them.Take for instances.I have seen so many shows that husbands, wifes,boyfriends or etc,have been with each other for years and people couldnt believe that they done what they did,and plus they had hard evidence,so to sit there and say well hes sweet hes a veg.. he wouldnt hurt a fly,okay get a clue check okay theres so many possiblities okay that he could have done it.Okay now on the other side.Yes that woman could be lying for publicty or for money.that happends alot too but on the other hand if it happend and it wasnt announced back then maybe its because that woman would hear so much crap like this going on now and then maybe its alot of things,and then again you have to ask yourself this why would they wait this long to pick him up if he had a warrant,okay that doesnt sound good at all either,The way i see it, Lesson Learn ??Dont put your self into a situation or around a situation that is not good or if you know the outcome it will be or something else,Make a better moral judgement of the company you keep.

Lesson Learned

karen said:

Just an observation...none of the people that care enough about these clowns to write in know how to spell, or write well enough to make themselves understood...

Michael R. Thomas said:

This man is a big rock star, as you all know; he has women coming out to the "wood work" wanting to be his girlfriend, investigate... See what really happen, find this person and ask "did this man really rape you"?. Or is it just a wild fantasy she's having... And if he did it, than I say, he should be punish for his deed... But first there should be an investigation into this serious change.

just an observer said:

Karen you have no room to talk about spelling either just go back and look at youre previous post or does youre pc not have spell check or maybe you just don't know how to use it

Lindsay said:

Just goes to show you what fame can do. People don't even know the situation and they're calling the victim a whore. I hope no one is on the other end of a situation like this because I can't imagine what courage it took for her to come forward.

patricia said:

Hey none of us know the truth except God him and the alleged victim,if he did this he should be made an example of. and he didn't then she should be made an example of. People say they know him and he wouldn't do such a thing we don't know what goes on in some one eles mind you could know a person for 100 years and still not know them. but as I said if he is guilty make him pay not nessasary monetary but legally and viceversa for her there is enough rape and tragedys. why rape when there are women willing to give it away.women have enough problems of making someone beleive they were attacked when have they been if she is lying her name and face should be plastered on every paper and internet.stop making it bad for true victims.

godess-cookie1 said:

Know one knows what happened except God, the alleged attacker and the alleged victim. If she has lied then her picture should be plaster in every paper and on the internet.As a liar and a very stupid woman.Does she not know that people who make false accusations cause trouble for women that have been been violated? Its hard enough to prove that you have been attacted and that you did not ask to be raped.
And if he did do this then I feel that he should be castrated. Rape is a power play when you don't feel sercure in your on self. Make an example of him don't let fame and money, make it less painful for him. Some one said he knew him and he could'nt have done it. Judas was a disciple and he betrayed Jesus. Rember we can Know a perosn for a hundred years and never really know them. I hope that you're right but as I said there is always two sides

Karen said:

Just a quick note, to the person that didnt have the balls to use their own name, and decided to use my name. I do not pass judgement on anyone without 100% proof. Nor do I make fun of anybody's spelling/grammer. Besides, I didnt know I was being graded.

CHEERS

I was back in the day a hair band/metal groupie, and have partied with many band members. And I have seen and experienced their messed up behavior. Then time roles around and they have changed, etc. etc.. So you never know how deep the change was really made, yeah I've quite doing drugs, drinking, I'm a veg-head, but behind closed doors they are kicking the dog and beating their loved ones. But they say innocent until proven guilty....ha ha. As for these 40 year old has be-ens, Flava, Scott B. and Bret their just trying to remind people that their still alive and replenish their bank accounts. I mean really do these woman actually think that after they give it up so freely that these men are going to stick around.....babe you've been played. If he is guilty nothing will happen because to many women have cried wolf and made it hard to prove the crime....thanks to those ladies!!!
