About Lori Mattix in brief

Summary Lori MattixLori Mattix is a former American child model and groupie of the 1970s. She is perhaps best known for an interview with Thrillist in which she made allegations of being involved in sexual relationships with David Bowie, Jimmy Page, and Mick Jagger. Mattix’s experience has become a notable discussion point in the Me Too movement, with her story marking one of the more notable examples in the shift of the movement’s focus from the film industry to the music industry. She has said to have been in a physically intimate relationship with Jagger when she was 17, and to have met John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr at a recording session in the city of L.A. in 1975. She claims to have had a threesome with Jimmy Page in 1973, but there is no photographic evidence of the event.

She also claimed to have lost her virginity to Page in 1972, but this has been contradicted by fellow groupie Pamela Des Barres’ memoir I’m with the Band. She claimed to be in a relationship with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page from the age of 14 to 16, when she ended the relationship after finding him in bed with Bebe Blluell. She said she was barred by Page’s security from seeing him once he began dating her. She says she was 16 years old when the relationship ended, despite the fact that she was given the age to see Page exclusively from age 14 to sixteen.
