Chrissie Hynde Under Fire For Saying Rape Victims Can Be At Fault

Chrissie Hynde, the lead singer of The Pretenders, believes she is at fault for her own rape. “This was all my doing,” she says of her sexual assault in her new book Reckless. The backlash has been swift on social media, where many have been quick to point out that victim-blaming transfers responsibility away from the assailant. Hyde, now 63, was raped when she was 21 by a member of a motorcycle gang in Ohio who, after offering her a ride to a party, took her to an empty house and assaulted her.
