** Jackie Fox is another strong contender, she came forwards in 2015 to reveal that [[http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/the-lost-girls/ Kim Fowley had]] drugged and raped her at a party while Cherie and Joan looked on laughing and did nothing. Both Currie and Jett have received massive backlash from fans, and [[http://pitchfork.com/news/60350-the-runaways-cherie-currie-responds-to-jackie-fox-rape-allegation-against-kim-fowley/ Currie wrote a post on her Facebook]] saying that she would be willing to take a polygraph to prove that this hadn't happened, and alleged Fox was exaggerating the incident. Fox would later go on to attempt suicide, only being saved by Currie's finding her and driving her to the hospital. After Fox quit the band, her replacement (Victory Tischler-Blue) spoke of the band joking about Kim "[having fucked] Jackie like a dog", and how the group's road manager Scott Anderson (who was allegedly present during the initial rape) had made a recording of Jackie having a mental breakdown and would play it repeatedly and laugh at it. Currie later wrote a memoir wherein a similar situation was described, but instead of Jackie the victim was a fictionalized groupie who encouraged Fowley. Jackie threatened legal action, and the book was never published.
